Artistic Cloud
Made pleasing debut in the Cleanevent National Hunt Flat Race at cheltenham trainer as sent him straight into a top flight chase so must hold the horse in high regards could be anything.

Backdraft
Has run some sound races under both hurdles and chases this season without winning but looks a better chaser than hurdler on form but still needs to improve on her third to Hurricane Soul in the Paddy Power Dial a bet Chase grade 1 at Leopardstown.

Casper Netscher
Although run some sound races over hurdles looks a bit once paced and now tries his luck at the bigger obstacles if taking to this game could find a race somewhere altough i expect not today.

Chosen One
Hails from top yard and as the best form on show finishing second last time out behind Hurricane Soul and in front of Backdraft needs to win this to show shes deserves her place at the front of the market with Hurricane Soul for the Queen Mothers Champion Chase at the Festival.

Dad Would Know
Best form was on good to soft on debut when third struggled every run since on heavy ground ground is soft today i expect this one needs good ground before showing her true ability.

Dreams Come True
And surely this would be a dream if this horse wins this although as ability has shown when second at wetherby that was in a handicap chase and this is much tougher.

Eagle Rock
As shown best form on good to soft as when winning on debut at Nass and finishing second to Soggy Lad in the grade 2 Amlin 1965 Chase at ascot poor runs have come on heavy ground so this soft ground might just be against this one today.

Fairy Footsteps
Run far its best race last time out in the William Hill Wayward Lad Nov Chase behind Victoire Jack who is trained by the same trainer as the Chosen one hemz123 so trainer knows if this one would be a danger to his horse today. I think Fairy Footsteps needs to improve further to trouble some of the principals today.

Ferrlatta
Forget last run when pulling up behind Fairy Footsteps has horse Sustained a injury better judged on earlier form when finishing second to Master Minded in the Henry VIII Novice Chase at Sandown on heavy ground a promising type who is sure to win races.

Happy Birthday
A horse who needs soft ground to show its best so it was a disappointment that he fell at Sandown in the Tingle Creek behind Chosen one as showed good form without winning and may have a each way chance Today if jumping holds up.

Pegasus Joy
Looked beaten when falling at the second last when travelling third after disputing lead behind Master Minded and todays rival Ferrlatta who was second in the Henry VIII Novice Chase at Sandown then only running sixth at Kempton the following week so looks held on form.

Sanctions
Finally got off the mark last time out at Kempton in the William Hill Desert Orchid chase where Pegasus Joy was sixth after showing great potential but is held on Tingle Creek form at Sandown with Chosen one who finished in front of her in second when behind Hurricane Soul.

Time Piece Ii
Is way out of her depth here well beaten on all runs so far in both hurdles and chases and only has a rating of 85.

Tip Toss
Hinted he had ability on first run in a maiden chase at Exeter but as run poorly since on soft ground may well pick up a handicap on better ground later in the season but this looks way to tough today.

Unannounced
Looks a future handicap winner on the best form shes shown when third in the Gmail Ltd Mares Handicap Chase at fontwell but well out of her depth here.

Verdict
Chosen one should be to good for these today a top class chaser in the making and if to live up to the Queen Mother Entry must take all the beating Sanctions finally got off the mark for this season last time out and looks the biggest danger on form one horse to look out for is Artistic Cloud who makes its chase debut today after showing plenty of ability in the only run so far this year in a National Hunt Flat race Eagle Rock and Ferrlatta have shown plenty of ability and could pose a threat to all Happy Birthday will surely find a race soon but shouldn't be today.

Ballabriggs -
Well beaten on debut in a maiden Chase at Market Rasen behind Pythagore and will do well to turn form around and better off running in handicaps.

Casual Transgression
Winner of the King George over christmas looks a really good prospect and will be tough to beat highest rated horse in the field of 147.

Coach Station
Made a pleasing debut when 2nd on debut at Naas and been keeping good company since only poor ran came at Newbury in the Hennessy giving lumps of weight away needs to brush up on the jumping stakes and held on form by Dazzling Dream.

Conquest
Makes Chase debut today and needs to improve if hurdles rating of 92 is to go by tough ask.

Dazzling Dream
The softer the ground the better for Dazzling Dream has won two grade 1's since good runs on better ground earlier in the season won both the JNWINE Champion Chase at Down Royal and the BETFAIR Lancashire Chase at Haydock on heavy ground before losing to Casual Transgression in the KING GEORGE.

Horned Demon
Horse as been running well without troubling the judge finished 5th in the KING GEORGE behinda few of these and behind Dazzling Dream at Down Royal so needs to improve again to turn the form around.

Northern Alliance
Another horse who is held on form by Dazzling Dream and Coach Station on Down Royal form but has kept good company may need better ground to show her true form.

Pythagore
Good win on debut beaten by stoater in the Kauto Star Chase at kempton before finishing third in a novice chase may need to improve to win this.

Stillhaventfound
Winner of a minor Handicap Chase at Down royal has struggled since in both chase and hurdles races and is well outclassed by others.

Stoater
Third in the King George behind both Casual Transgression and Dazzling Dream who he finished second to in the Betfair Lancashire Chase at Haydock so needs others to make mistakes to turn form around.

Sublime
Has yet to beat a horse home that hasn't fallen in four runs.

To See You Nice
Has ran some good races since dismal debut but as also found making mistakes costly and could be finds jumping in soft ground against him might be better on much firmer ground.

Wells Fargo
Looks well held on what hes achieved this season may find a handicap somewhere in the near future.

Zephyr Zombie
Pulled up on debut but has shown some promise since but behind Coach Station at Sandown in the Future Stars Chase so on that form alone must be overlooked.

VERDICT
One horse holds all the aces and thats CASUAL TRANSGRESSION who looks to have the advantage on the KING GEOGRE VI CHASE at KEMPTON form where DAZZLING DREAM 2ND,STOATER 3RD,HORNED DEMON 5TH and COACH STATION FELL where all behind and looks like a Gold Cup prospect and if the ground comes up heavy at Cheltenham would have a great chance Dazzling Dream must be feared the improved form she as shown since encounting heavy ground as been tremendous Stoater must also be respected and the only other horse in the field that could cause any problems to the tip is Pythagore but she needs to improve and turn form around with Stoater.

Castletown Aspect
Winner of the second leg over this distance at Limerick where he had Peninsular 3rd,Brave Act 4th,Lady Of Leisure 7th behind her as ran well since but behind Silver Pond in The Index Cross Country Chase at Newbury and Soft Pearl in the Toteexacta Cross Country Chase at Wincanton and gives all weight today so its hard to see Castletown Aspect carrying top weight to victory today.

Silver Pond

Debut 4th at limerick in leg 1 of this series behind Castltown lyrics was followed by a smart win at Newbury where he beat Castletown Aspect on level terms so every chance on better terms again today to beat if staying this further two furlongs.

Soft Pearl
Great debut win at Wincanton as been followed by two falls since so not one to trust on the jumping front and gives away a lot weight in this ground.

Kina
Has finish 2nd and 1st already in this series at sligo and Fairyhouse before being beaten since in a listed race and in leg 9 when 6th behind Eugene Crabs as climbed up the weights and the handicapper just might have have her measure for now.

Brave Act
Is finding life tough of this rating of 128 but with the running of Castletown Aspect brings her down on a raceable weight today her debut 4th behind Castletown Aspect being her best run to date and must be feared of running close today.

PeninsularWas let down by her poor jumping in the Welsh National last time behind Lady Of Leisure but the step back up in trip and like Brave Act a more raceable weight if getting the jumping together could ran a big race.

Lady Of Leisure
Winner of the Welsh National steps back up in trip today as already failed to win over this distance and is held by Silver Hi Ho on earlier running at Fairyhouse.

Gunman
If Gunman could get his jumping together fallen last twice then his 3rd of 18 at Fairyhouse Behind Obedience in leg 5 would put him at the top of the market today.

The Gold Way
Has shown some ability and trainer not giving up of getting this one into the final of this series now stepping up in trip could bring a change in fortunes and grab a place for the final.

Silver Hi Ho
This looks like the day Silver Hi Ho could shine and finally break her duck distance should be fine but ground could be a worry still should run a big race of this weight and finish in the top 4.

Ballard Connnection Ii
Is held by Gunman on earlier running and will find it hard to turn that form around today

HabitioniaFinding life tough and needs to improve and this step back in trip may be against him.

Kinglet
Looks a out and out stayer and the form Kinglet has shown should not be good enough for this race today.

DowntherefordancinStruggling so far this year tailed of in the Welsh National Behind Lady Of Leisure and already been well beaten in a few of these series this year.

Verdict
Castletown Aspect presence in this race makes this a tough Handicap to sort out and with Brave Act getting a manageable weight could return to form the same could be said for Peninsular but jumping mistakes tends to cost this stallion any chances hes had the Welsh National Winner Lady Of Leisure caught Heart Of Glass on the run in steps back up in trip today and could well play a big part and if so then Silver Hi Ho should be bang there as he holds Lady of Leisure on earlier form of the Others Gunman must be respected on the third he showed at Fairyhouse and if Soft Pearl could find his jumping feet could be anything and one to watch for the future is Silver Pond but surely both these have to much weight today.

Sliver Charm
Top Weight with lots of ability over fences and hurdles as shown when fifth of thirteen at Cheltenham in the Unicoin Homes Relkeel Hurdle. The saying top weight and ground is a stopper just wandered looking at the field if that is actually true today i believe so.

Land Of The Free
Behind both Wop Bam Boogie fifth and Bloated tenth last time out when eleventh of fourteen in the Safari Creek Handicap Hurdle at fontwell and no better of today.

Bloated
Has been running well all season since scoring at Wincanton but as been rated so so its a tough ask to win this off this weight but might have more ability than most of these to do so.

Wop Bam Boogie
Behind Bloated sixth last time out when eighth of sixteen in the Pistol N Smoke Handicap Hurdle at chepstow but could get closer over this slightly longer trip.

Always Destroy You
Had Both Bloated sixth and Wop Bam Boogie eighth behind in above event when second in the Pistol N Smoke Handicap Hurdle at chepstow but worse off in the weights today and might find it hard holding that pair today.

Watford Wire
Winner of the Lexus Chase last time out now rated (129) at Leopardstown where Sabin Du Loir finished tailed off seventh looks a handicap blot Rated (97) over hurdles on the formbook and trainer trying to make most of his rating over hurdles where only run came at Ffos las in the Dream Nothing Graded Race which Bloated finished sixth ahead of him eleventh.

TatianaMixes Chasing rated (115) with hurdles rated (94) her chase form is quite good and as run well showing alot of potential but her hurdling form might be misleading first pulling up on debut at Kempton after sustaining a Injury followed with a crashing fall at Wincanton Behind Bloated (1st) then fading to finish last of the fourteen finishers behind Amaryllia in the Aintree Hcp Hurdle and if chase form is to go by like Watford Wire might well be very well Handicapped.

Sabin Du Loir
Best ran this season was when fifth of fourteen in the Haydock Aintree Hcp Hurdle finds the soft ground against her again today will surely find a race on better ground later in the season.

Love Me DoBehind Eleventh Sabin Du Loir Fifth at Haydock and no better off today and would also like better ground to show her best form.

Dont Know Where We Are Going
Finished last in above event at Haydock and as struggled all season only rating (84).

VerdictThis on first glance looks a tricky heat but reading through the formbook both Watford Wire and Tatiana seem to be well handicap on chase form and both could fight out the finish Tatiana looks a chaser of potential but her hurdle form looks too bad to be true while Watford Wire may of been let in lightly too on his Lexus chase form Sabin Du Loir although well behind Watford Wire might like the return to hurdling and grab a place of the others top weight Silver Charm has the class but might well find one or two well handicap horses against him today and Always Destroy you Might have trouble holding form with both Bloated and Wop Bam Boogie.

10)-25124 Zamination Scatters 4yof 93

Advancing
Big improvement from earlier form in the Brigadier Gerard Stakes when short of room until inside the final furlong when running on to finish second to Invite last time out.

Blue Giant
Only worthwhile form came in a minor handicap at Nottingham when second to Caufield Congi and well beaten last time out when last behind Invite in the Brigadier Gerard Stakes.

Cerise SilkNeeds soft ground to show her true form as she did when winning the Huxley Stakes at Chester where she had Zamination 2nd,Invite 3rd,Humbled 5th,Regal Form 8th and Tyso 9th all behind when just prevailing to hold off Zamination this firm ground might be against her today.

Flaze
Well beaten 10th behind Invite in the Brigadier Gerard Stakes last time out and is well held by most of these on form.

Humbled
Has ran some good races without making the frame this year as already been beaten by some of todays rivals this year but may get lucky and find a bit of improvement to turn the tables on some of todays old rivals.

InviteHas progressed nicely since finishing 4th on debut at Newcastle won the Coral Roseberry H'cap at Kempton on second run where Humbled finished 6th before finding the ground to soft at Chester when 3rd behind Cerise Silk and second placed Zamination and showed that running was all wrong last time on better ground where he won the Brigadier Gerard Stakes at Sandown beating both Zamination 4th and Cerise Silk 6th with also Advancing finished 2nd and Humbled was 5th,Magic Ritual 8th,Flaze 10th and Blue Giant last behind him and will take all the beating today.

Magic RitualHas ran some good races this season 2nd in the Earl Of Sefton Stakes at Newmarket reads well but that was on heavy ground and thats where both her good runs have come on soft ground. Behind invite on Good to Firm last time out.

Regal Form
Made debut in the Huxley Stakes when 8th behind Cerise Silk on soft ground but made pleasing reappearance on better ground next time out when winning the London Gold Cup Hcp at Newbury and with further improvement on firm ground could again put up a good run and one to watch in the market.

Tyso9th in the Huxley Behind Cerise Silk on soft ground was bettered by winning next time at the Curragh winning the Scotton Brook Hcp but the step back up in Group company and the ground looks like a step too far as only other run on ground better than soft ended in finishing last at Haydock in the Harris Brook Shield.

Zamination
Has so many formlines with other horses in this race today and a case could be made for most of them and Zamination is no back number but found Cerise Silk to good on Soft ground and Invite to good on Good to Firm ground and breeding suggests softer the better so might again find invite to good for her.

Verdict
With so many formlines involving most of todays field its best to stick with the Brigadier Gerard Stakes form which was ran on Good to Firm ground and the Victor Invite must get the nod on that form as others behind seem to like softer ground Zamination will again put in a good ran but like Cerise Silk would prefer the ground on the softer side Advancing who was second behind Invite must come into the reckoning and with a clearer passage might get closer one horse to watch in the market is Jamie Taylors Regal Form who showed great improvement on better ground on second ran of the season.
