Many Clouds has excellent form tied in with Gevrey Chambertin, Coneygree and the like, and is clearly a progressive novice hurdler. Even with a penalty, he will be tough to beat tomorrow, and is a course and distance winner already around Wetherby.


As will Poole Master, and it is interesting that Tom Scudamore travels to Wetherby instead of Kempton and Warwick for Pond House, and this will be one of the reasons why. Always going to be a chaser, he has progressed nicely in his two starts, and runs at a level that should be right up his street.


Another exciting novice chaser is Highland Lodge, who was very impressive last time out when out galloping Our Father at Cheltenham. He looks an absolute staying chaser in the making and possible perhaps a Welsh National horse in time. He will love the ground, and will likely gallop his rivals into submission. The presence of Rocky Creek will solely further enhance his price and reputation.


Another useful novice is The New One, who is a leading fancy for The Neptune Hurdle at The Cheltenham Festival, after building on his useful bumper form to win a nice novice hurdle at the track in October. He has a mark of 143, and over the extended two and a half miles, he will be tough to beat, at an albeit skinny price.


Regular readers of this blog will know my opinion of The Package. Timmy Murphy is back to ride him in a three mile handicap hurdle, and he can take advantage of a 13lb better off mark than his chase rating. The form of The Hennessy has worked out tremendously well, finishing behind The Gold Cup favourite Bobs Worth, and Lexus Chase 1-2 in Tidal Bay and First Lieutenant. He is the best bet of the day.


The final fancy is somewhat speculative, but Alan King’s record in The Classic Chase speaks for itself and in my eyes it is an even stronger positive with Wayne Hutchinson on board. He rides Godsmejudge, who has built like a smart staying novice handicap chaser, brought about slowly. He ran with credit in three mile novice hurdles last year, and has taken to chasing well, winning a nice looking beginner’s chase last time out at Folkestone. Bradley and Pete the Feat will be tough to beat, but I’m hopeful of a big run.
