Javert Allen
JAVERT ALLEN isn't fully proven over this trip but his bold-jumping front-running style means he could well be very difficult to peg back if getting into a rhythm around here. He gets the verdict over last year's winner Bad, who confirmed himself as still in form despite running an atypical race at Ascot last time. Etalon has seemed to benefit for a change in equipment and tactics and is respected once again.

Dual winner as a novice over hurdles, including a listed contest at Huntingdon. Hasn't yet kicked on as anticipated from an encouraging chase debut, merely matching previous form when fifth at Cheltenham (20.6f, soft) 28 days ago, but it's still early days for him in handicaps.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCheltenham2m 4f 127ySoftChase5/9Cheltenham2m 4f 127yGoodChase3/5Cheltenham2m 4f 127yGood to SoftChase2/3Aintree3m 149yGoodHurdle6/13Huntingdon2m 3f 137yGood to SoftHurdle1/6- 2BadJ: Ben JonesT: Ben PaulingP5-1542Age 73/13/111/4

Hasn't always been a strong finisher but is a 3-time winner here across the past 12 months, including this race last season and over 18f on comeback. Ran on surprisingly well having come under pressure some way out when second of 9 at Ascot (21.1f, soft) last time and he's a player back at Kempton.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot2m 5f 13ySoftChase2/9Ascot2m 2f 181yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase4/9Cheltenham2m 4f 44ySoft (Heavy in places)Chase5/12Kempton Park2m 2fGood (Good to Firm in Places)Chase1/5Sandown Park2m 4f 10yGoodChase5/9- 8Javert AllenJ: Ciaran GethingsT: Mrs Jane Williams125-423Age 73/15/211/4

Enthusiastic front-runner who took well to fences last season, winning twice over 2m, and he's advanced his form with runner-up finishes at Aintree and Newbury in November. Shaped well upped in trip when third at Cheltenham (20.6f, soft) 28 days ago and likely this track will suit even better.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCheltenham2m 4f 127ySoftChase3/11Newbury2m 92yGood to SoftChase2/10Aintree1m 7f 176yGood to SoftChase4/9Newbury2m 92yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase5/6Chepstow2m 11ySoftChase2/7- 3ViroflayJ: Miss Olive NichollsT: Paul Nicholls21-2221Age 96/111/26/1

Useful hunter chaser for Olive Nicholls and has made a sound start re-united with this yard, building on a good second here in November when producing another fluent round of jumping to win a 7-runner handicap chase here (3m, good) 56 days ago.

Looked a potentially smart novice chaser when beating Unexpected Party in impressive fashion in a 6-runner event at Leicester in December 2022 but absent since and can only be monitored having since left L J Morgan.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLeicester2m 4f 25yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/6Wetherby3m 45yGood to Soft (Good (in places))Chase2/3Ayr3m 70yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle7/9Musselburgh2m 3f 171yGood to SoftHurdle1/6Cheltenham2m 7f 213yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle5/6- 1EtalonJ: Harry SkeltonT: Dan Skelton1-52913Age 912/112/111/1

Responded well to a combination of cheekpieces and an attacking ride when landing the biggest pot of his career at Ascot in December. Ran at least as well from this mark when third there last month, headed only at the last after forcing pace and he should give another good account.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot2m 5f 13ySoftChase3/9Ascot2m 2f 181yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase1/9Newbury2m 92yGood to SoftChase9/10Fontwell Park2m 3f 104yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase2/7Bangor-on-dee2m 1f 77yGoodChase5/5- 7Es PerfectoJ: Tom BellamyT: Alan King6415-P0Age 1125/125/128/1

Won over C&D last term before doubling his tally for the year at Sandown. No impact in major handicaps at Cheltenham either start this term, though, and others make more appeal.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCheltenham2m 4f 127yGood to SoftChase10/10Cheltenham2m 4f 44ySoft (Heavy in places)Chasepu/12Cheltenham2m 4f 127yGood to SoftChase5/19Sandown Park2m 4f 10yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase1/6Windsor2m 6f 41ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase4/14- 9ShakeyatailfeatherJ: Harry AtkinsT: Dan Skelton-351586Age 733/133/140/1

Resumed progress with a ready success in 5-runner contest at Kelso (17f, good) in October. By no means disgraced in a stronger Ascot handicap the following month but not in same form next time and presumably just having a pipe-opener when down the field at Huntingdon 2 weeks ago. Bit to find here.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHuntingdon2m 3f 189ySoftChase6/6Ascot2m 172yGood to SoftChase8/10Ascot2m 172yGoodChase5/10Kelso2m 1f 14yGoodChase1/5Market Rasen2m 5f 89yGoodChase5/15- 4RiskinthegroundJ: Charlie ToddT: Dan Skelton-419604Age 940/128/133/1

Landed valuable events at Ayr and Cheltenham last spring and proved game when resuming winning ways in a Newton Abbot intermediate event in October. Found out in top handicap company since and out of depth at Grade 2 level last time, so others preferred for all this is a more realistic task.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewbury2m 7f 91yHeavy (Soft in places)Chase4/4Cheltenham2m 4f 127ySoftChase10/11Cheltenham2m 4f 127yGoodChase6/9Newbury3m 1f 214yGood to SoftChase9/24Newton Abbot2m 4f 216yGood to SoftChase1/4
