James Stevens picks wildcard Dashel Drasher for Tote Ten To Follow strike
A must for your team is as he looks a leading candidate in the Betfair Chase and King George before aiming for another big run in the Gold Cup. The Betway Bowl, a fourth bonus target, is also on the agenda, so he has lots of chances to pick up extra points.
With the bonus points on offer in the Savills Chase and Irish Gold Cup in mind, Minella Indo would also be a shrewd addition.

Thyme Hilllooks an exciting addition to the three-mile staying hurdling division and can pick up his share of points throughout the season. He could be a leading player in the Stayers' Hurdle.
Although they are not bonus races, there are plenty of points to be won by three-mile novice chasers before Cheltenham and The Big Breakaway looks likely to play a starring role in that division. His big pre-Cheltenham target is the Grade 1 Kauto Star Novices' Chase, so he is worth an entry.
It is hard to look past Shishkin, who could dominate the two-mile novice chasing division and, with a huge selection of Graded-level options before Cheltenham, he deserves his place.
His stablemate Chantry House is the final novice chaser, selected for the two-and-a-half mile division. His campaign is another that could involve plenty of Graded races. Although not a bonus race, you would expect the Scilly Isles Chase to be a long-term target.
A different way of winning points could be by finding an outsider capable of winning a big race at sizable odds. Dashel Drasher had some superb form as a novice chaser last season and could land a good pot off a rating of 145.
Danny Whizzbang is another capable of progressing through the handicap ranks and is a second staying handicapper to add to your team. He looks progressive and could be one for the Scottish Grand National.
Over hurdles, Saint Roi looks the best two-miler in Ireland and is sure to pick up plenty of points in Grade 1 contests building up to the Champion Hurdle. His County Hurdle success in March was startling and he gets the verdict narrowly over Abacadabras.
For a lesser-known name add in the Paul Nicholls-trained Silver Forever, who is likely to be sent chasing. She has many options, being a novice chaser and a mare, and will likely be campaigned to win at a higher grade for black-type than attempt to capture big prize-money. That could work in our favour.
