Cheltenham

Tomorrow, ChaseClass 22m4f

The last 5 winners of the Timeform Novices' Handicap Chase have gone on to finish first or second at the Festival in March. BARLOVENTO would have been a more convincing winner at Kempton on Boxing Day but for fluffing the last so a 4 lb rise may not stop him with further progress likely. The prospect of a stronger pace now moving into a handicap could bring about improvement from Califet En Vol and he can fill the forecast spot ahead of Jordans Cross.

    Bumper/hurdle winner who has taken well to fences, chasing home a next-time-out winner at Exeter in November before going one better in a 20.5f novice handicap at Kempton on Boxing Day. Open to further improvement.

    Verdict
    Useful winning hurdler for Nigel Twiston-Davies who made winning start to chase career for new connections in maiden at Carlisle in October. Better form in defeat twice since (second in 19f Ascot Grade 2 latterly) and looks on a workable mark now going over 2½m+ for the first time over fences.

    Verdict
    Might be unbeaten over fences but for a last-fence fall here in November. Gained compensation for that when landing 19f Doncaster handicap 6 weeks ago. Looks capable of even better.

    Verdict
    Dual winner as a novice over hurdles, including a listed contest at Huntingdon. Has bettered that form in defeat in a couple of C&D novice chases this winter and capable of more again now moving into his first handicap.

    Verdict
    Bumper/hurdle winner who was struggling when coming down on his course chase debut/reappearance but proved a different proposition back here next time, finding in front when left clear by the last-fence fall of reopposing stablemate Jordans Cross. Creditable second at Aintree since and respected.

    Verdict
    Dual hurdle winner who struck at the first time of asking over fences in 4-runner Fakenham novice handicap (2m, good to soft) in October. Has bettered that in defeat since, latterly finishing 1½ lengths fourth of 10 to reopposing Barlovento at Kempton on Boxing Day.

    Verdict
    Dispatched pair of subsequent winners in 3m novice handicap hurdle at Ayr last spring. Returned with promising second on Exeter chase debut in November and something possibly not right when well held in 3m Sandown Grade 2 novice since. Drops in trip for yard with good recent record in this.
