Race: 1.30 Kempton. 

The Seamus Mulllins-trained ten-year-old is dismissed as a 20/1 chance after being pulled up in both his races this term.

However, I’m inclined to put a line through those efforts as he bled on the first occasion and a combination of deep ground plus the Grand National fences didn’t seem to be for him in the Becher Chase last time. 

He's back in shallower waters on better ground after a five-week break and there’s no denying he’s on a handy mark, being only 1lb higher than when runner-up in last season’s bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown. 

Last season, he began with two tame efforts before scoring at 18/1 on his next start. I’m hoping lightning will strike twice.

Race: 2.24 Warwick.

While there’s only five-runners, this is a quality race.

I suspect Grey Dawning will prefer being back on a flat track, although his tendency to take chances at his fences could be an issue here. Apple Away is getting plenty of weight and has plenty of potential over fences, but I prefer Broadway Boy.

I’ve made no secret of my love for this horse, who has impressed me immensely since going over fences. Ground versatile, his attitude is unquestionable and he has ability to match. His victory in a competitive handicap at Cheltenham when last seen typified those attributes, as he rallied from three consecutive jumping errors that would’ve ended the winning chance of most other horses.

He will go from the front and will pose questions to his rivals. I’m also hopeful that he will be a major player for the Brown Advisory in March.

Race: 2.42 Kempton.

This consistent type has five wins and three second-placed finishes next to his name from eight career starts. A progressive gelding, he was last seen chasing home stablemate Luccia in a competitive Grade Three Handicap at Ascot where he rallied well, and was closing on the eventual winner approaching the line. 

That represents a good level of form and, now 3lb higher in the handicap, Impose Toi might still be ahead of the handicapper on a rating of 134, and could prove tough to beat.

Race: 3.00 Warwick.

Malina Girl has been a progressive performer over the past couple of years and one could only be impressed with the way she powered clear to win a competitive handicap at Cheltenham in November where she was particularly strong at the finish. 

An 11lb rise following that success was always going to make life tougher for her, but the Irish raider was travelling powerfully and had yet to be asked for her challenge when falling three out at the same venue the following month. 

She was trading at 2.06 in running when departing, and looked sure to be involved in the finish in what appeared a high-class staying handicap on paper. 

Gavin Cromwell's mare has attracted some support since the betting opened for this race, which I hope means she's an intended runner, as this test looks certain to suit given she won the Ulster National over a similar trip last season. 

If her mishap last time out hasn't dented her confidence, then she holds strong claims, despite remaining on a career-high rating, and her handler has operated at a 26 per cent strike-rate in Britain this season.

She's my best bet on Saturday.

Tipster: Andy Stephens.

Race: 3.50 Kempton.

He didn’t make his debut until turning seven at the start of last year but is doing his best to make up for lost time. 

An exuberant front-runner, he made all for back-to-back wins at Kelso this autumn before contesting a competitive 17-runner handicap at Cheltenham. Caithness was unable to extend his winning run but he gave it a good go and ended up being a fine third behind Impose Toi and Donnacha. 

Time has shown that he was up against that day because Impose Toi would have almost certainly defied a 10lb rise in a hot race at Ascot next time had he not fluffed the final two flights. He may well have won the Lanzarote on the card, too, before this concluding contest. 

Caithness has been pushed up 5lb for his latest effort but that is offset by the claim of Alan Doyle. He can win at the main expense of Rare Edition and Arqoob.
