Still time to shine before Cheltenham as Paul Nicholls looks forward to spring

With less than three weeks until the start of the Cheltenham Festival, Saturday's meeting at Kempton has earned the reputation as British racing's last chance to unearth a potential springer for one of the Grade 1 novice events.

The fixture boasts a trio of potentially informative races for nascent jumping stars, as well as the newly rebooted Coral Trophy, a three mile handicap with a huge heritage.

The festival race most often impacted by events in suburban Surrey is the JCB Triumph Hurdle.
