Rodney
Though cases can be realistically made for several of these, RODNEY is firmly on the up and is taken to complete the hat-trick following commanding victories at Leicester and Hereford. Regal Renaissance may well have won had she stayed on all fours here in December and is feared most ahead of Toothless, who regained the winning thread at Windsor on New Year's Day. Joker de Mai is also worth a second look.

Dual hurdles winner who has raised his game since tackling the larger obstacles, making it third time lucky in this sphere at Leicester during the Christmas period before following up in good style at Hereford (21f, soft). 10 lb rise for latest win looks manageable and another bold show anticipated.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHereford2m 4f 194ySoftChase1/11Leicester1m 7f 201yGood to SoftChase1/6Warwick2m 54ySoftChase5/9Bangor-on-dee2m 1f 77yGoodChaseF/9Ffos Las1m 7f 182ySoftHurdle1/12- 7Pepe Le MokoJ: Ciaran GethingsT: Mrs Jane Williams63-F423Age 84/14/17/2

Well treated on peak form and produced best effort for a while when going close in a soft-ground C&D handicap on penultimate start. However, he was beaten 20 lengths into third behind Rodney at Hereford next time and it's unlikely that a 10 lb pull will be sufficient to elicit a role reversal.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHereford2m 4f 194ySoftChase3/11Ludlow2m 4f 11yGood to SoftChase2/9Exeter2m 3f 48yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase4/6Warwick2m 4fGoodChaseF/7Wincanton2m 4f 35yGoodChase3/3- 6ToothlessJ: Jay TidballT: Paul Nicholls22/1-51Age 89/27/24/1

Understandably looked in need of the run back from a lengthy absence at Wincanton in December, and subsequently took a step firmly back in right direction when accounting for 6 rivals at Windsor (20.2f, good) early last month. 5 lb rise fair enough and he's a must for the shortlist.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWindsor2m 4f 42yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/7Wincanton2m 4f 35yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase5/7Plumpton2m 3f 164yGoodChase1/8Hereford2m 8yGood to SoftChase2/3Plumpton2m 214yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase2/4- 3Charles RitzJ: Jonathan BurkeT: Tom George36/P2-1Age 1011/213/26/1

Fairly useful winning hurdler/chaser who notched second success in this sphere when coming from off the pace to land a 7-runner Southwell handicap chase (20.4f, good to soft) back from a 13-month absence in December. Things rather went his way on that occasion, though, and this is tougher up 4 lb.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSouthwell2m 4f 88yGood to SoftChase1/7Warwick2m 4fGoodChase2/8Ffos Las3m 3f 208yGood (Good to Soft In Places)Chasepu/11Perth2m 7f 180ySoftChase6/10Newbury2m 7f 86yHeavy (Soft in places)Chase3/4- 8Regal RenaissanceJ: Sam Twiston-DaviesT: Henry Daly622-23FAge 811/211/25/1

Successful at Warwick last season and decent second there on return in November. Ran no sort of a race at Bangor next time but she goes well here and surely would've gone close had she not departed at the second-last in a C&D handicap last time.

Fairly useful performer who was twice a winner over fences in France in 2023. Also successful twice on these shores, latterly landing a Leicester hunter last March, and this step back up in trip looks a good move judged on his encouraging fourth in a 6-runner handicap chase at Newbury last time.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewbury2m 92yGood to SoftChase4/6Cheltenham2m 62yGood to SoftChase6/7Stratford-on-avon2m 213yGoodChasepu/6Aintree2m 5f 19yGood to SoftChaseF/29Leicester1m 7f 201yGood to SoftChase1/6- 5Tax For MaxJ: J.

Useful hurdler/chaser for Willie Mullins and stepped up on low-key stable debut when third in a Newton Abbot handicap hurdle in October. However, it's fair to say he has failed to build on that since, including on first chase start for this yard following a wind op at Windsor on New Year's Day.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWindsor2m 4f 42yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase5/7Haydock Park2m 2f 191yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle8/9Wincanton1m 7f 50yGood (Good to Firm in places)Hurdle3/4Newton Abbot2m 167yGood to SoftHurdle3/8Market Rasen2m 125yGoodHurdle10/12- 4PalamonJ: Tristan DurrellT: Dan Skelton20-2U69Age 633/133/140/1

Fairly useful hurdler and positive start over fences when runner-up at Wexford last summer. Safely held on final run for Paul Nolan in October and recent debut for this yard at Haydock (first run following a wind op) wasn't up to much but still has time on his side.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHaydock Park2m 67yGood to SoftChase9/10Wexford2m 3f 130yGood to Yielding (Yielding in places)Chase6/10Ballinrobe2m 7f 65yGood (Good to Yielding in places)Chaseur/9Wexford2m 3f 100yGoodChase2/9Navan1m 6fYielding (Good in places)Flat11/21
