Verdict
SHAKEYATAILFEATHER wasn't foot-perfect when landing a gamble at Cheltenham on Thursday but had plenty in hand at the finish, collecting more prize money in the yard's bid for a first Trainers' Championship. She's well-in under a penalty and can follow up. Siam Park is a big player in his hat-trick bid, while Fontwell winner Joe Cotton could be in the mix if the blinkers work again.

VerdictWas always going to make a better chaser and followed up his Taunton success with a likeable display at Stratford over this trip 3 weeks ago, soon in front and coming clear. Up 6 lb and good claims in hat-trick bid.

VerdictIrish point winner proved a different proposition sent chasing when scoring in thin C&D novice handicap last month. Ran well under a penalty at Fakenham just 4 days later and remains with potential in this sphere.- 7. Joe CottonJ: Lorcan WilliamsT: Jeremy ScottF: 3-4222231

VerdictProved better than ever to scoop a good prize in Fontwell handicap chase over this trip 3 weeks ago, first-time blinkers doing the trick even if his quirks were clearly in evidence once he hit the front. Should hold his own again after a 7 lb rise if the headgear continues to work.

VerdictBumper winner who scored twice over hurdles at Taunton last season. Stopped the slide switched to fences after 11 weeks off at Wincanton 6 weeks ago but only partially in truth, his resolution again leaving something to be desired. Needs to build on that.

VerdictHad a good summer, notching up a third success with a wide-margin victory over C&D in September. Lost his way a bit after and returns from 4 months off/breathing op in a competitive heat with stablemate Siam Park looking stronger.
