Lulamba
Two hugely exciting sorts clash here. LULAMBA has already had the chance to prove he's a top-class novice chaser courtesy of a pair Graded wins and can put that experience to good use and see off last year's Supreme hero Kopek des Bordes, who has been restricted to just the one run over fences. Kargese looks best of the rest in what promises to be a cracker.

Winner of the Supreme on this day 12 months ago. Cruised clear in a Navan maiden chase on reappearance in November. His absence since (had surgery to remove a bone chip from his knee) means he lacks chase experience but he could be talented enough to cope.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosNavan2m 1fSoft to Heavy (Soft in places)Chase1/11Punchestown2m 149yYieldingHurdle4/6Cheltenham2m 87yGood to SoftHurdle1/11Leopardstown2mSoftHurdle1/10Leopardstown2mYielding (Good to Yielding in places)Hurdle1/23- 4LulambaJ: Nico de BoinvilleE: Nicky Henderson12-1111Âge 56/46/413/8

One of the leading juvenile hurdlers last season and has rapidly developed into an even better chaser, bolting up in Sandown Grade 1 novice before readily dispatching more experienced rivals in the Grade 2 Game Spirit at Newbury last month. Will be hard to beat again.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosNewbury2m 92yHeavy (Soft in places)Chase1/6Sandown Park1m 7f 99yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase1/4Exeter2m 1f 109yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase1/5Punchestown2mYieldingHurdle1/12Cheltenham2m 179yGood to SoftHurdle2/17- 7KargeseJ: D.

Smart hurdler who has quickly shown herself to be even better over fences, winning a Leopardstown maiden over Christmas before going down by only a neck to Romeo Coolio in the Irish Arkle there last month. Needs considering in receipt of weight all round.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosLeopardstown2m 1fSoftChase2/3Leopardstown2m 1fYielding (Good to Yielding in places)Chase1/5Cork2m 200ySoftChase2/8Punchestown2m 45yYieldingHurdle3/6Cheltenham2m 179yGood to SoftHurdle1/16- 6Steel AllyJ: Dylan JohnstonE: Sam ThomasP2P-111Âge 812/112/114/1

Very useful hurdler who has taken it up another notch since chasing, winning all 3 starts, including Grade 2s at Ascot (19f, good to soft) and Warwick (2m, soft).

Three-time novice hurdle winner last season and has shown even better form when notching the same number of wins over fences this time round, easily taking Grade 2 Pendil at Kempton (20.5f, good) last time. He's smart but this looks an ultra-strong renewal.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosKempton Park2m 4f 110yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase1/4Sandown Park1m 7f 99ySoft (Heavy in places)Chase1/11Ascot2m 2f 181ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase4/5Kempton Park2m 2fGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/5Uttoxeter1m 7f 214yGood to SoftChase2/5- 1HansardJ: Caoilin QuinnE: Gary & Josh Moore097-412Âge 850/150/166/1

Useful handicap hurdler who stepped forward from his seasonal/chase debut when comfortably landing the odds in 3-runner maiden at Lingfield in December. Improved again when second to Mambonumberfive in Grade 2 Wayward Lad at Kempton over Christmas but this demands a good deal more.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosKempton Park2mGoodChase2/5Lingfield Park2mGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase1/3Kempton Park2m 2fGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase4/5Plumpton1m 7f 195yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle7/11Aintree2m 4fGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle9/20
