Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

Unblinking (1.45 Warwick, nap)

Posted a career best effort over hurdles when finishing runner-up in a competitive Cheltenham heat and, due to go up a deserved 7lb in future handicaps, should make a bold bid to go one better off the same mark as last time.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Sunny Destination (1.20 Ayr)

Found one too good here earlier this month but is propping up the handicap and can break his duck over this longer trip.

Longshot: Sam King

The Establishment (7.00 Kempton)

Has been disappointing the last few starts but has plenty of form earlier on in his career to figure in a race of this nature and looks capable of going well at an each-way price.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Eclair De Beaufeu (1.25 Thurles)

The winner of two AQPS races on the Flat in France, the Gordon Elliott-trained four-year-old has strong claims based on his two previous efforts over hurdles. Both runs were at Cork where he was placed in big field maidens, the more recent of which saw him finish well clear of the third when runner-up to Sams Profile 11 days ago.
