Festival Of Ages (12.55 Newcastle, nap)

Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

Top And Drop (1.10 Hereford, nap)

A half-sister to a couple of 130+ chasers, she shaped fairly well on her second run back after a lengthy absence at Chepstow last time and is potentially very well handicapped off 95.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Foxtail Hill (1.55 Cheltenham)

Below par in the second half of last season but made a promising seasonal return and although a pound wrong at the weights, the handicapper has given him a chance.

Longshot: David Revers

Romain De Senam (1.55 Cheltenham)

Paul Nicholls' six-year-old is 2lb below his last winning mark and looks to be a viable each-way angle in a competitive race.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Brosna George (3.00 Fairyhouse)

A good winner at Down Royal before falling latest, he can get back on track.
