Heading up the market for this handicap chase action is NEIL THE LEGEND at 3/1* (betting odds recorded 16:07 GMT on Wednesday, 13th January 2021 at Betway).

He picked up a win on his latest effort, having plenty to spare when he scored under rules at Uttoxeter last month. Neil The Legend is a former point winner and that Uttoxeter win happened at a 9/1 SP.

That was in December so it’s been a 37-day absence from him, but he looks to be a big player in this field.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

ENRY IGGINS looks a threat in the field as well. He picked up a win at Doncaster last time out and he will have the cheek pieces on for the first time.

So that could pull more out of him as he goes from a 3lb higher market.

There ought to be a really bold effort from him and he is our 8/1 selection* (betting odds recorded 16:07 GMT on Wednesday, 13th January 2021 at Betway).

KILPIN is another that is fancied to go well here. He rattled the crossbar at Warwick on a 3m trip in December on his latest run.

It was only one that Kilpin found too good on the day in that one. He has really kicked on over the fences, leaving some average hurdles form behind.

Race Favourite

The current 7/4 market leader for this trip is CRISTAL SPIRIT* (betting odds recorded 16:07 GMT on Wednesday, 13th January 2021 at Betway). He is bang in form at the moment, seeking a hattrick.

There is a 7lb penalty that he goes under for the day. The latest win that he got was only 11 days ago at Plumpton in a clear career best effort. His other win for the season happened at Fontwell.

So he is thriving at the moment and probably won’t be too far away from that impressive hattrick.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

LILY THE PINK can probably be trusted enough to launch a response to a below-par effort around 3 miles at Market Rasen last time out. It was a fourth place finish that the mare took in that effort.

But she is a super consistent performer for the large part and the tongue-tie on for the first time could help her as well.

The other obvious threat that we can see in his field is JAUNTY SORIA who scored over course and distance in a novice hurdle effort in 2019.

She arrives on the back after a long break, not having run since then. But looking back she travelled very well in that effort and could warrant some respect on return.

This is the North Yorkshire Grand National Chase from Catterick and it’s a massive test of stamina. The market leader is LE BREUIL at 7/4 at the moment* (betting odds recorded 16:07 GMT on Wednesday, 13th January 2021 at Betway).

He was third at Aintree last month when he was well beaten. But he has been in the picture in both of his runs this season.

This will be the first effort for Le Breuil since a wind operation, which could play a part in another decent bid.

The last win that he took was in the 2019 National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham. He is now at the lowest career mark over the fences.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

DUC DE GRISSAY probably has a chance in this one as well if he brings his best jumping form to the table.

On his last run, he was on a 4m trip at Kelso and he fell at the last in that one, after being well positioned to take second place.

A clear round this time around and he should be in the picture on a shorter trip.

Duc De Grissay is our 7/2 selection* (betting odds recorded 16:07 GMT on Wednesday, 13th January 2021 at Betway).

CHEF D’OEUVRE is the main player in this field after coming close at Wetherby last month. He had the tongue tie on for the first time in that one and he retains plenty of promise.

That was a great effort from him in that one and another strong effort should see him get in the frame. He was well clear of everyone else behind him at Wetherby on that most recent run.

FLIGHT DECK is the current market leader at 9/4 for this contest* (betting odds recorded 16:07 GMT on Wednesday, 13th January 2021 at Betway).

He was a faller on his last run which was over the fences at Huntington last October. That was his chase debut and he didn’t look a great fit for the bigger stuff.

So the switch back to the hurdles is likely to be a better fit for him as he makes his reappearance.

Last season he only had the one run, winning his handicap bow at Newton Abbot. He may be worth revisiting.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

KALA NOIRE is an interesting player in the field and she showed some promise in a couple of bumpers.

On the step forward to the jumps, she took a couple of novice hurdles at Fontwell and got herself in the frame in both of those.

Kala Noire’s yard is in form and the tongue tie goes on for the first time.

So Kala Noire goes as our 10/1 selection* (betting odds recorded 16:07 GMT on Wednesday, 13th January 2021 at Betway).

EMPHATIC QUALM is another of the big players in this field. He made some big improvement when he took a second place finish in a Newton Abbot handicap in October.

There should be more to come from the light-raced gelding. The question mark will be over whether or not this is going to be a little sharp for him coming back down in trip.

Race Favourite

The current 7/4 favourite for this contest is FAME AND HOPE* (betting odds recorded 16:07 GMT on Wednesday, 13th January 2021 at Betway).

There was a second place finish for her last time out which was an effort over course and distance. She makes a switch of headgear now as she is tried with the blinkers for the first time.

That last run was 11 days ago and Fame And Hope goes off at the same mark in this one, so she has a good chance to get close.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

GOLD RUNNER makes the switch back to the hurdles after not having made an impact on chasing. So she is still on a reasonable enough mark here to have a bold run.

She is still a maiden over the hurdles but she is pretty fair in his sphere.

ROLLERCOSTER scored on her debut for her new stable at Bangor in November. That was an impressive run but she didn’t follow it up.

Her jumping form totally deserted her on her next run where she was a faller at Wetherby. If she’s on her game then she should be in the frame.

LOVE THE LEADER is 7/4 market leader for this trip* (betting odds recorded 16:07 GMT on Wednesday, 13th January 2021 at Betway).

He will be looking to complete a double as the 13-year-old scored at Fakenham just 10 days ago. He really started pushing on between the final two jumps.

There is no penalty that Love The Leader takes on for this one, so off the unchanged mark, he warrants some respect while he appears to be in good heart. Love The Leader carries a 3lb claimer.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

BURGESS DREAM hit form last time out as he went out at Plumpton. He completely bolted up in that one in a crushing 15 length victory.

That was from a 22/1 SP and he really benefited from going off of a career-low mark. There is an 8lb rise for him to deal with now and with the cheek pieces on he looks to have a chance.

NESSFIELD BLUE is going to be the other selection for the shortlist in this contest. He took a third place finish at Chepstow on his last run.

He picked up a third place finish over course and distance on what was his chasing debut in December last year. Nessfield Blue hasn’t really kicked on, but place claims are there.

BARATINEUR is the 7/2 favourite for this* (betting odds recorded 16:07 GMT on Wednesday, 13th January 2021 at Betway). Last season he scored over course and distance.

His form this season hasn’t quite been up to that kind of showing, but there was a decent bid last time out when he took third place in a hurdle here in December.

Baratineur finished powerfully in that latest run and with the cheekpieces staying on, he should be able to launch a strong challenge.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

VANDERBILT showed up well on his latest run which was at Taunton 35 days ago. He was in the frame well in that one before taking a fall.

But that’s not enough to write off his chances as he comes back into action. Vanderbilt is still a maiden but there are clear place claims there.

ALL GOOD THINGS is another that can expect to go well in this fixture. He was second on his last effort, which was a run at Ffos Las in November.

He did take a win at Southwell last season with jockey Stan Shappard who is back in the saddle for this run.

All Good Things has enough to enter calculations and offers a nice quote of 9/2* (betting odds recorded 16:07 GMT on Wednesday, 13th January 2021 at Betway).
