Dominateur won over course and distance last time but he did give us a couple of scares along the way, especially when he and Gav had a difference of opinion at the last fence. He's a horse that can seem to be going nowhere and then after one good jump he can take off and…

Java Point ran well enough at Southwell in finishing fourth but nothing has come out of the race to test the form. He is not an ideal bumper horse but he stays and seems to like soft ground. This does not look the strongest of races so place chances.

Malinello, by Malinas, comes from a decent jumping family. We are looking forward to this debut.

Jamacho didn't run too badly on his first run on the Flat after disappointing hurdling for the most part recently. He should have no problems with the longer trip and could run into a place.

Black Abbey was bought recently out of France to go juvenile hurdling. He has winning form with cut in the ground over 1m4f on the flat. He is a tough little horse that likes to make the running and has taken well to hurdling at home.

Roxyfet is going for a hat-trick of wins in this particular Boxing Day race, over a track where he always performs well. He is in very good form at home and will be thereabouts again I'm sure.

Raddle And Hum improved a great deal on earlier form last time at Kelso and seems to be on a competitive mark. We expect her to go well as track, trip and ground will all suit. Big each-way chance.

Simply The Betts has come out of his back-to-back wins in excellent form. He is taking a step up in class and trip here, but hopefully he can improve again off his current mark. We are looking forward to running him.

Third Wind is in really good form following his comeback run, first time over fences, the other day. Whether he's up to his present mark, returning to hurdles, is an unknown, but we'll find out today!

Young Bull has come out of his latest win in excellent form and so we will take a view once we have had a look at the opposition. Hopefully he can take another step forwards in handicap company and we are looking forward to seeing him running again.

Supamouse ran very well on debut at Southwell when just touched off. I'm not sure he's improved too much in the interim but the form is pretty decent and I hope he can win.
