Again, no bet from us in the opener, so onto race two - which is the Smarkets Betting Exchange Novices' Chase, and JP's Brelan D'as can make in third time lucky in on Merseyside.
Has found one just two good in two starts this season over fences, but looks so much more suited over the bigger obstacles, as he never really made it as a hurdler.
More expected from this 7yo.
It looks tight at the top of the betting at the time of writing, but Queenohearts can get her head in front in the Listed Smarkets Betting Exchange Mares' Novices' Hurdle.
Just one start over hurdles when finishing second in a maiden at Chepstow. Tackling top company now, so highly thought of, and will be sure to make a bold bid.
Ciaran Gethings, who rides multiple top mares, may have another on his hands here.
Donald McCain's good start to the season can continue with a win in the Smarkets Handicap Chase with Ubaltique.
A double course and distance winner from last season now goes back over fences, after two sub-standard starts over timber.
Will surely make the frame off the same mark as his victories here last season.
Ballymoy needs to point a line through his recent Newbury effort to be considered a true contender for 50 Risk Free On Racing With Smarkets Handicap Hurdle.
Prior to that disappointment, he was actually unbeaten on his previous four hurdles outings, including a win on the last day of last season in the bet365 Novices Championship Final Handicap Hurdle at Sandown - a race which has produced several subsequent winners this campaign.
Player.
Donald McCain could be at the double if Testify can make use of his excellent course form.
Mixed form in the last eleven months, but loves this track and relishes these conditions, and surely in with a shout based on his two wins here last season.
Although in small fields, he jumped well, and virtually made all.
A repeat of that performance will surely land in him with a chance.
The final race on the card is the Smarkets Betting Exchange Handicap Hurdle, and Theo's Charm can give Nick Gifford a Christmas boost.
No wins for the trainer in eight attempts in the last two weeks, but this horse can use the drop down in class to his advantage, having seemed out of his depth here almost a month ago.
Was also aneck second in a class two here back in February, and looks to have an attractive profile at this level.
