Virgin Bet Free Bets For Winners Handicap Chase, 3m
Paul Nicholls was without a Cheltenham Festival winner this week but eight-year-old Brewers Project makes plenty of appeal now up in trip. Recent third Cap St Vincent looks a key danger.
SPOTLIGHT TIP: CAP ST VINCENT
Latest chase win over 2m7f off 4lb lower; respectable hurdle return for new yard
Optimum Experience Handicap Hurdle, 2m7½f
Serious Charges has never been out of the front two in four starts and now is tested at handicap level by Anthony Honeyball. Pulling Stumps, another in winning form, looks his biggest threat.
SPOTLIGHT TIP: NO WORD OF A LIE
Consistent hurdler; runner-up in his two handicaps; new trip could prompt more progress
Virgin Bet Free Bets For Winners Novices' Limited Handicap Chase, 2m
The Dan Skelton-trained Rockstar Ronnie seeks a third consecutive victory at this track. Golden Boy Grey comes here in winning form while Siroco Jo is feared.
SPOTLIGHT TIP: ROCKSTAR RONNIE
Two wins here in November; strong claims if continuing the good work back from a break
Trinity Create Novices' Handicap Chase, 3m
American and De Rasher Counter are among the notable former winners of this race and Saint Palais looks an improving type for Richard Bandey. Fuji Flight and Docpickedme are on a hat-trick.
SPOTLIGHT TIP: SAINT PALAIS
Won three handicaps before coming up short in a strong Grade 2; this is easier
Virgin Bet Handicap Hurdle, 2m5f
Sam Thomas has enjoyed a huge season and takes aim at another big pot with Paddys Motorbike, who is tested back over hurdles. Exciting prospect Brief Times, recent winners Jay Jay Reilly and Press Your Luck and former Graded winner Solo also feature.
SPOTLIGHT TIP: JAY BEE WHY
Today's return to hurdles could be in his favour and he has potential off this mark
Optimum Pay Handicap Hurdle, 2m4f
The highly regarded Boothill has not quite delivered but perhaps can bounce back for Harry Fry, whose Love Envoi gave the stable a big boost in the week. The consistent Beauport and Irish raider Freedom To Dream also line up.
SPOTLIGHT TIP: BOOTHILL
His Ascot third in Oct reads well and unlikely that we've seen the best of him
Virgin Bet Handicap Chase, 2m4½f
Fresh from a brilliant Cheltenham, Venetia Williams has a strong contender in Espoir De Guye. The recent Warwick winner takes on stronger company this time, including Diego Du Charmil, Pistol Whipped and Debece.
SPOTLIGHT TIP: MANOFTHEMOUNTAIN
Second in this last year then impressed over 2m4f next time; had tough tasks in the autumn
Boulton Group Midlands Grand National, Listed, 4m2f
Time To Get Up and Truckers Lodge are out to make history by becoming the first to win two Midlands Nationals. Hewick, Wholestone and the admirable Final Nudge also stage this valuable contest.
SPOTLIGHT TIP: TIME TO GET UP
Shaped well for a long way at Haydock and only 4lb higher than for last year's win in this
