Calico
A trappy contest in which top-weight CALICO is fancied to make his class tell having shaped better than the result in stronger races than this of late. Personal Ambition drops in grade and is also shortlisted, with Gabriel's Getaway rating as an interesting runner now sporting cheekpieces from a reduced mark.

Back to form when winning 3-runner novice at Newbury (2m) 3 weeks ago, seeming to relish the combination of first-time blinkers and drop back in trip under a typically attacking ride. Couldn't dominate in the Grand Annual at Cheltenham last time but these are calmer waters than he is used to,DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosCheltenham1m 7f 199yGoodChasepu/20Newbury2m 92ySoftChase1/3Ascot2m 2f 181ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase5/5Newbury2m 4f 118ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdlepu/15Carlisle2m 3f 218ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle4/11- 7ObsessedwithyouJ: Isabelle RyderE: Jamie Snowden132121-Âge 77/27/210/3

Consistent mare won back-to-back chases at Ffos Las and this track in May/June last year and notched a first success outside of mares only company at Sedgefield in October. Enhanced good strike rate in 3-runner race at Wincanton last month but career best likely needed from out of weights here.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosWincanton1m 7f 149yGoodChase1/3Kempton Park2m 2fGood (Good to Firm in Places)Chase2/6Sedgefield2m 77yGood to Firm (Good in places)Chase1/3Uttoxeter1m 7f 214yGoodChase2/10Stratford-on-avon2m 3f 98yGoodChase3/6- 4Grain D'oudairiesJ: Harry CobdenE: Donald McCain151269-Âge 105/15/111/2

Made it 2 wins from first 3 starts this season when scoring at Haydock (19.9f) in December. Posted a decent second at Doncaster in January and shaped as if back in form faced with a pretty stiff task in the Red Rum at Aintree last month, travelling well for a long way. Respected.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosAintree1m 7f 176yGood to SoftChase9/15Carlisle1m 7f 207yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase6/7Doncaster2m 78ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase2/5Haydock Park2m 3f 203yGood to Soft (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/6Doncaster2m 3f 31yGood to SoftChase5/7- 3Homme PublicJ: Toby WynneE: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero/6660P-Âge 95/16/111/2

Good servant for this yard but he completely lost his way last season and has plenty to prove again despite now racing from another career-low mark on the back of a breathing operation.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosDoncaster2m 78ySoftChasepu/5Cheltenham3m 5f 56ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase10/16Wetherby1m 7f 36ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase6/6Newcastle2m 4f 62yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle6/6Wetherby2m 3f 85yGoodChase6/6- 1CalicoJ: Harry SkeltonE: Dan Skelton/11404-Âge 1011/211/26/1

Brilliantly primed to win 2 £100k handicaps at Cheltenham and Ascot during the autumn. In better heart of late than form figures suggest, heavy ground probably not to his liking when fourth of 7 at Ayr (2m) 4 weeks ago and he's now only 1 lb above last winning mark.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosAyr2m 110yHeavy (Soft in places)Chase4/7Cheltenham1m 7f 199yGoodChase11/20Newbury2m 92yHeavy (Soft in places)Chase4/6Ascot2m 172yGood to SoftChase1/10Cheltenham1m 7f 199yGood to SoftChase1/9- 6Gabriel's GetawayJ: Ben GodfreyE: Anthony Honeyball24U433-Âge 913/211/26/1

Runner-up in an Ascot premier handicap in November. Not quite in the same form of late, though has been notably easy to back on his last few outings and is potentially thrown in from this mark on the pick of his winter form. Interesting if market support comes now wearing cheekpieces.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosDoncaster2m 78ySoftChase3/5Doncaster2m 78ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase3/5Sandown Park1m 7f 99yGoodChase4/5Kempton Park2mGoodChaseur/7Ascot2m 172yGood to SoftChase4/10- 5Sir TivoJ: Danny McMenaminE: Gary Hanmer/132P1-Âge 1216/112/114/1

Capitalised on much-reduced mark after 5 months off at Cartmel (17.3f) around this time last year and resumed winning ways after another 12-week break in a 4-runner handicap chase at Wetherby (15f, good to firm) in October. Often does well at this of time year, so worth betting check.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosWetherby1m 7f 36yGoodChase1/4Stratford-on-avon2m 213yGoodChasepu/9Uttoxeter1m 7f 214yGoodChase2/7Bangor-on-dee2m 1f 77yGoodChase3/5Cartmel2m 1f 61yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/6
