Chateau Conti can build on his confidence-boosting victory from last time

West Country: Tim Mitchell

Grand Coureur (2.50 Leicester, nap)

Although capable he became a frustrating sort over hurdles but shaped with encouragement wearing first-time cheekpieces on second start over fences. Fancied to be in the mix if repeating the effort.

Others to follow
Carlisle: 1.20 Tacenda.

Lambourn: James Burn

The Butcher Said (12.40 Leicester. nap)

Youngster has some solid form and ran well in a Sandown bumper last time, while trainer Warren Greatrex thinks plenty of his challenger and has his yard in decent order.

Others to follow
Leicester: 1.10 Octagon, 1.45 Fox Appeal, 2.15 Zen Master, 3.20 Robert's Star.

North: Colin Russell

Dakota Grey (1.55 Carlisle, nap)

Last win was over C&D in February 2016. Failed to finish in four runs last term but has come back in better form this time and with today's conditions ideal and his stable in fine form, is fancied to get back to winning ways.

Others to follow
Carlisle: 12.20 Planet Nine, 12.50 Wide Awake, 1.20 Lastbutnotleast, 2.25 Nortonthorpelegend, 3.00 Hartforth, 3.30 Forest Des Aigles.
Leicester: 2.15 Crackdeloust, 2.50 Kilronan Castle, 2.50 Larkhall, 3.20 Knocknamona.

Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

Knocknamona (3.20 Leicester, nap)

Showed improved form when winning over fences at Uttoxeter last weekend and could prove well-treated on this switch back to hurdles.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Forest Des Aigles (3.30 Carlisle)

Produced a personal best when scoring on his reappearance at Hexham in October and Lucinda Russell's improving six-year-old can concede weight all round.

Longshot: Ed Quigley

Chateau Conti (2.05 Fairyhouse)

He enjoyed a confidence-boosting victory last time out, will enjoy the ground, and should have more to offer off a mark of 142.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Ben Dundee (2.05 Fairyhouse)

Up 10lb in the ratings and down half a mile in trip following his comfortable win over 2m4f at Punchestown in October on his first start for Gordon Elliott. Jack Kennedy’s mount, who won his maiden hurdle over today’s trip, can land today’s competitive handicap.
