Nicky Henderson must feel that the Royal & SunAlliance Chase winner Trabolgan has pretensions to Gold Cup glory. Kicking King is not unbeatable, as shown by War Of Attrition's recent defeat of him at Punchestown. Ollie Magern has thrown his hat into the ring with his win at Wetherby and the valuable Betfair Chase at Haydock on 19 November will be a thrilling starting point for the top staying chasers to do battle. There is a £1 million bonus for any horse completing the Betfair, King George, Gold Cup treble, so the stakes are high.

Two-mile hurdles again look likely to be dominated by the Irish with Hardy Eustace favourite to bring off a treble in the Champion Hurdle and Harchibald likely to lap up opportunities on easier courses than Cheltenham. Our Advice is to watch out for Essex as the Michael O'Brien trained horse won a valuable handicap on the flat at Naas off a career-high mark of 89 recently. Not much of a show in the Champion Hurdle last year but that race is a graveyard for five-year-olds and he is better judged on his cosy win in the Totesport Trophy at Newbury before that. At his best in big fields with a strong pace and looks tempting at around 20-1 for the 2006 Champion..

A big favouite for the Ladbrokes World Hurdle will be Inglis Drever as Howard Johnston trained horse has got off to flyiong start as he returned with a smooth win at Wetherby and will prove hard to beat. Eleven wins and eight placings from 21 starts since he turned three.

Henrietta Knight has a possible replacement to the fantantic Best Mate in Racing Demon who was caught near the finish when second in the Royal & SunAlliance Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival last season, this Old Vic gelding began his chasing career with a win in a hot novices' chase at Exeter last week. Has the Arkle as his Festival aim this term.
The Matin Pipe, David Johnson combination have a real star on their hands in Celtic Son and the only problem with taking a price about this for the Cheltenham festival is that we just do not know which race he will turn up in the festival
