Winner £4,225, 2nd £1,944, 3rd £972, 4th £486, 5th £242
5yo+, 8 Runners
Jumps,Turf , 2m 4f 25y , SOFT, Heavy in places (GoingStick: 3.9) (Rail movements: 1.30, 2.05, 3.15 & 4.23 +49yds and 2.40 & 3.50 +33yds)
Ultra Viers – 14/1 (Best odds at Betvictor)
Yet to find consistency and finished down the field on his return from a break. Needs to step up significantly to feature here.
Storm Of Light – 25/1 (Best odds at Unibet)
Has struggled for form and hasn’t been competitive in recent outings. Would need a major turnaround to get involved.
Ceolwulf – 11/1 (Best odds at bet365)
Lightly raced in recent seasons but showed promise in previous chase attempts. Could be one to consider if rediscovering his best.
We Got Your Back – 2/1 (Best odds at Unibet)
Comes into this on the back of two straight wins and continues to improve. If he maintains his current form, he will be a major contender.
Yes And Yes – 20/1 (Best odds at Betvictor)
Has shown very little in recent outings and needs a significant step forward. Others are preferred.
River Run Free – 11/10 (Best odds at bet365)
Won well last time out and looks to be on an upward curve. If replicating that effort, he will be tough to beat.
Wexford Park – 33/1 (Best odds at Unibet)
Yet to show much promise over fences and looks up against it in this field. Would be a surprise winner.
Eric Carmen – 14/1 (Best odds at Betvictor)
Has placed a few times recently but tends to find one or two too strong. Could sneak into the minor places with a solid effort.
Verdict
River Run Free looks to be progressing well and has a great chance to land another victory. We Got Your Back is also in excellent form and will likely be the biggest challenger. Ceolwulf could be an interesting each-way option if finding improvement, while Eric Carmen may grab a place if things fall right.

On The Fourth Day Of Christmas Novices’ Handicap Chase
Winner £4,753, 2nd £2,187, 3rd £1,094, 4th £547, 5th £273

Jumps,Turf , 2m 4f 25y , SOFT, Good to soft in places, Heavy on the flat course crossings (GoingStick 3.6) (All Chase card)
Rock Danse – 8/1 (Best odds at Betvictor)
Struggled to make an impact in recent runs and was pulled up last time. Needs to show significant improvement to figure in this contest.
Hill Of Tara – 2/1 (Best odds at bet365)
A course winner who shaped well in better company previously. If able to bounce back from his last run, he holds a strong chance here.
Lazy Sunday – 5/2 (Best odds at Unibet)
Consistent performer who has placed on his last two starts. A solid option if he can maintain that level, but needs to find a bit more to win.
No Tackle – 8/1 (Best odds at Betvictor)
Has struggled in recent outings and would need to step up his game considerably to get involved in the finish.
Nine Nine Nine – 7/1 (Best odds at bet365)
Has put in some fair efforts this season but tends to lack a finishing kick. Could sneak into a place if others underperform.
Thirsty Farmer – 5/1 (Best odds at Unibet)
Lightly raced in recent years but has shown flashes of ability. If returning to full fitness, he could be an interesting contender at the odds.
Verdict
Hill Of Tara looks well-placed to return to winning ways, given his solid previous form. Lazy Sunday is a reliable runner who should be in contention, while Thirsty Farmer could surprise if he improves on his comeback effort. Nine Nine Nine might run into a place if things go his way.

Classic Maestro – 9/4 (Best odds at Unibet)
A three-time winner this season who has been holding his form well. Finished fourth last time but remains a serious contender if bouncing back to his best.
Bucksy Des Epeires – 7/4 (Best odds at bet365)
In excellent form, winning two of his last three outings. Finished runner-up last time and should go close again with conditions to suit.
Party Vibes – 13/2 (Best odds at Betvictor)
Showed improvement when scoring two starts back but was pulled up next time. Needs to prove he can put in a consistent effort.
Denemethy – 6/1 (Best odds at bet365)
A solid performer who has won recently but was beaten last time out. Could go well if things fall right.
Just Over Land – 15/2 (Best odds at Unibet)
Has been inconsistent, showing promise in places but failing to deliver a strong finish in recent starts. Needs to improve to trouble the market leaders.
Verdict
Bucksy Des Epeires is in great form and looks well-placed to get another win. Classic Maestro is another strong contender and could push the favourite close. Denemethy has shown enough ability to be involved, while Party Vibes will need to bounce back after a below-par effort.

Leicester 15:15
TCS Recruitment 20th Anniversary mares’ Handicap Chase (Challenger Mares’ Chase Qualifier) (GBB)
Winner £5,281, 2nd £2,430, 3rd £1,215, 4th £608, 5th £303
5yo+, 5 Runners
Jumps,Turf , 2m 4f 25y , SOFT, Heavy in places (GoingStick: 3.9) (Rail movements: 1.30, 2.05, 3.15 & 4.23 +49yds and 2.40 & 3.50 +33yds)
Miss Maverick – 10/3 (Best odds at Betvictor)
Has been in excellent form this season with three wins from her last four outings. Although she was beaten last time, she remains a strong contender if returning to her previous best.
Trapista – 8/1 (Best odds at Unibet)
Was progressing well before running into trouble in recent starts, falling and pulling up. Needs to rediscover her earlier form but has the ability to be competitive.
Oakley Dancer – 6/1 (Best odds at bet365)
Showed promise last season but hasn’t been able to replicate that form this term. Needs to bounce back but is not without a chance if running to her best.
Largy Force – 9/4 (Best odds at Unibet)
Consistently placed in recent starts and was travelling well before unseating last time out. If she puts in a clear round, she should be a major threat.
It’s Easy – 5/2 (Best odds at bet365)
Yet to get her head in front this season but has been knocking on the door with several placed efforts. Should be in the mix once again.
Verdict
Largy Force has been consistent and looks ready to break through with a win if avoiding mishaps. Miss Maverick has the best form in the race and could be a danger if bouncing back. It’s Easy has been performing well and should be in contention, while Oakley Dancer remains an outsider with a chance if finding improvement.

Leicester Racecourse – Ideal Self-Hire Wedding Venue Handicap Chase
Winner £4,225, 2nd £1,944, 3rd £972, 4th £486, 5th £242
5yo+, 9 Runners
Jumps,Turf , 1m 7f 201y , SOFT, Heavy in places (GoingStick: 3.9) (Rail movements: 1.30, 2.05, 3.15 & 4.23 +49yds and 2.40 & 3.50 +33yds)
Sabbathical – 8/1 (Best odds at Betvictor)
Consistent performer who has been knocking on the door with placed efforts this season. A previous course-and-distance winner who should be thereabouts again.
Harel Du Marais – 16/1 (Best odds at Unibet)
Yet to get fully going this season but has shown glimpses of ability. Would need to step up significantly to challenge the main contenders.
Hokelami – 14/1 (Best odds at bet365)
Has been running consistently without quite managing to break through. A minor place finish looks the most realistic outcome.
Abaya Du Mathan – 14/1 (Best odds at Unibet)
Veteran chaser who still retains some ability but may find this too sharp. Best days appear to be behind him.
My Portia – 5/2 (Best odds at bet365)
Comes into this in fine form after a convincing win last time. Should be a major player once again with conditions to suit.
Orbys River – 7/2 (Best odds at Betvictor)
Won well two starts back and ran a strong race in defeat last time. Expected to be right in the mix once more.
Yellow Jacket – 10/1 (Best odds at bet365)
Absent since last season but had some solid form before the break. Market check advised.
Night Jet – 7/1 (Best odds at Unibet)
A series of second-place finishes suggest she’s on the verge of a breakthrough win. One to consider in the frame.
Gwennie May Jem – 9/2 (Best odds at Betvictor)
Lightly raced and showing steady improvement. Could have a say if continuing on an upward trajectory.
Verdict
My Portia arrives in strong form and looks the one to beat. Orbys River has also been consistent and should push the favourite close. Night Jet has been knocking on the door and could be an each-way option, while Gwennie May Jem is a progressive sort who may outrun her odds.

Leicester 16:19
Pointing Pointers Dick Saunders Novices’ Hunters’ Chase

Jumps,Turf , 2m 6f 151y , SOFT, Heavy in places (GoingStick: 3.9) (Rail movements: 1.30, 2.05, 3.15 & 4.23 +49yds and 2.40 & 3.50 +33yds)
Mr Glass – 4/5 (Best odds at bet365)
A proven performer with an unbeaten record in hunter chases, this nine-year-old has shown significant ability over fences. Looks the one to beat here.
Givega – 5/1 (Best odds at Betvictor)
Has some solid form in the book but needs to show more consistency. Capable of a big run if everything clicks on the day.
Jeux d’Eau – 11/2 (Best odds at Unibet)
Produced some impressive performances in the past and should be competitive if reproducing his best form. A definite each-way contender.
Paul Marvel – 6/1 (Best odds at bet365)
Consistent performer at this level and has been in good form recently. Could challenge for a place.
Pyleigh Court – 14/1 (Best odds at Betvictor)
Returning after a long absence, so fitness is a concern. However, has ability and could surprise if fully tuned up.
Red Delta – 16/1 (Best odds at Unibet)
Not without ability, but needs to step up significantly to be a factor in this contest.
Ragnar Lodbrok – 25/1 (Best odds at bet365)
Some good performances in the past, but inconsistent and will need everything to go right to feature prominently.
Walk Away – 25/1 (Best odds at Betvictor)
Struggled for form in recent starts and will need to rediscover previous ability to make an impact.
Fine Dining – 100/1 (Best odds at Unibet)
Looks up against it in this field and will need a significant improvement to be competitive.
Il Padrino – 100/1 (Best odds at bet365)
Hasn’t shown enough in recent runs to suggest he’s capable of challenging here.
Verdict
Mr Glass is the standout pick in this field and will be difficult to oppose given his strong hunter chase record. Jeux d’Eau could be the main danger if finding his best form, while Paul Marvel has the consistency to get involved in the places.
