A hot little race. The lightly raced 6yo DE TELLERS FORTUNE looked to be one to follow for Nicky Henderson prior to last month's soft-ground flop at Wincanton, and he can bounce back with a win now back on better ground. Felicie Du Maquis won over hurdles last time and this two-time point winner is feared most now back over fences. Good cases can also be made for Lunar Discovery and Kelce.[Ben Hutton]

Hit hard by the handicapper for easy win in three-finisher handicap over C&D (good to soft) in December, and tailed off at Kelso since; however, perhaps the new cheekpieces will help with his jumping; could bounce back.
Two-time bumper (including here) and two-time hurdle winner who has been a creditable second this year on her first two chase starts (2m4f, soft/good to soft); has shaped the last twice as though this step back up in trip could be a good move and she's one to consider.
Lightly raced 10yo who well beaten at Chepstow in November on sole chase start, but she lacked a recent run; won over hurdles at Ludlow (3m, soft) recently and this two-time point winner (effective on good ground in that sphere) may well come good over fences at the second attempt.
Point (2m4f, good) and maiden hurdle (2m4f, good) winner who scored on his handicap and chase debut at Taunton (2m7f, good) in December; pulled up at Wincanton last month but on soft ground that may not have suited; retains plenty of potential for top yard now back over fences.
Runner-up in November on first two chase starts (2m4f/3m, good) before making all at Market Rasen (3m, soft); ran well when second at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) last month, when he was badly hampered by a loose horse, and this progressive sort can make a bold bid.
