Califet En Vol
Novices may come to the fore, with CALIFET EN VOL taken to defy the handicapper and supplement last month's C&D success, perhaps at the expense of Boxing Day's C&D scorer Barlovento, who is better than he showed in a hot race at Cheltenham last time. Paul Nicholls has won this twice in recent years so Blueking d'Oroux, who sports first-time cheekpieces, also has to enter calculations.

Listed novice hurdle winner last season and it all clicked at the fourth time of asking over fences when seeing off 8 rivals in C&D handicap 3 weeks. The type to go on improving.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKempton Park2m 4f 110yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase1/9Cheltenham2m 4f 127ySoftChase5/9Cheltenham2m 4f 127yGoodChase3/5Cheltenham2m 4f 127yGood to SoftChase2/3Aintree3m 149yGoodHurdle6/13- 4Ryan's RocketJ: Jonathan BurkeT: Fergal O'Brien126U-1UAge 83/15/211/4

Useful effort to win 2m Newbury handicap chase on his reappearance in November and still tanking along when unseating over 2m here at the Christmas meeting. Given a bit of time since. Below par on previous attempt over this far but too soon to suggest he lacks the stamina for this trip.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKempton Park2mGoodChaseur/7Newbury2m 92yGood to SoftChase1/10Market Rasen2m 3f 34yGoodChaseur/4Cheltenham2m 4f 127ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase6/7Ascot2m 167yGood to SoftChase2/4- 7BarloventoJ: Sean BowenT: Olly Murphy122-218Age 713/213/27/1

Second over fences when winning a C&D handicap (good) on Boxing Day. Couldn't figure from off the pace in the traditionally-strong Timeform novice handicap at Cheltenham in January but well capable of bouncing back.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCheltenham2m 4f 127ySoftChase8/9Kempton Park2m 4f 110yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/10Exeter2m 3f 48yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase2/9Leicester2m 4f 110yHeavy (Soft in places)Hurdle2/6Warwick2m 5fGood to SoftHurdle2/5- 2Blueking D'orouxJ: Harry CobdenT: Paul Nicholls341-215Age 713/213/27/1

Smart hurdler who was turned over at short odds on his Newton Abbot chase debut/reappearance in October but made no mistake in 2½m Wincanton Grade 2 novice 3 weeks later. Well held in 3m course Grade 1 on Boxing Day but this is more his trip and the yard has a good record in this. Cheekpieces on.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKempton Park3mGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase5/6Wincanton2m 4f 35yGood (Good to Firm in places)Chase1/5Newton Abbot2m 4f 216yGood to SoftChase2/4Sandown Park2m 5f 110yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle1/6Fontwell Park2m 3f 29ySoft (Heavy in Places)Hurdle4/5- 5Teddy BlueJ: Paul O'BrienT: Harry Derham27-1753Age 812/116/114/1

Course scorer who returned in top form with a 2m Ascot win in November. Creditable third of 11 in the competitive Greatwood at Newbury (2½m, good to soft) a fortnight ago.

Second success since joining this yard when seeing off 6 rivals over 19.5f at Chepstow (good to firm) in October. Off since, presumably to avoid winter ground.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosChepstow2m 3f 98yGoodChase1/7Fontwell Park2m 3f 104yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase3/6Worcester2m 4fGoodChaseF/4Newton Abbot2m 4f 216yGood (Good to Firm in places)Chase2/4Cheltenham2m 62yGoodChase2/6- 1EtalonJ: Tristan DurrellT: Dan Skelton-529134Age 916/120/118/1

Responded well to a combination of cheekpieces and an attacking ride when landing the biggest pot of his career at Ascot (19f) in December. Creditable third over 21f there next time but he was beaten 17 lengths in fourth by Califet En Vol over C&D 3 weeks ago.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKempton Park2m 4f 110yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase4/9Ascot2m 5f 13ySoftChase3/9Ascot2m 2f 181yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase1/9Newbury2m 92yGood to SoftChase9/10Fontwell Park2m 3f 104yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase2/7- 8ShakeyatailfeatherJ: Liam HarrisonT: Dan Skelton3515867Age 750/133/140/1

Resumed progress with a ready success in 5-runner handicap at Kelso (17f, good) in October. Hasn't fired since (including well behind Califet En Vol over C&D latest) but her mark is starting to slide.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKempton Park2m 4f 110yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase7/9Huntingdon2m 3f 189ySoftChase6/6Ascot2m 172yGood to SoftChase8/10Ascot2m 172yGoodChase5/10Kelso2m 1f 14yGoodChase1/5
