All prices Bet365: 1.30 Cheltenham - 1pt win Nickelsonthedime @ 16/1 Outsider of a four-runner field but I think is a shade overpriced based on a couple of sub par efforts when last seen. Has been given a break and wind surgery since and if returning to the form of its first two hurdling starts I think this is a 130-rated animal at least.

His sire's progeny have a better strike rate over fences too so looks an interesting runner if jumping well) 2.10 Windsor - 1pt e/w Silver Diva @ 14/1 (looks well handicapped on some novice form and had a pipe opener at Kempton when no

I backed it and it jumped/travelled great but just didn't get home so I can see a big run back here over hurdles. 2.25 - 1pt e/w Llandinabo Lad @ 28/1 (ran too badly to be true last time but given a break and previously has beaten Minella Drama/finished 2nd to My Drogo so could go well at a price) 3.35 - 1pt e/w Diol
