A fluent jumper, he travels like this drop in trip should suit and he looks the one to beat in this Fitzdares Lightning Novices' Chase.<br><strong>Gidleigh Park</strong> showed useful form over hurdles but has long been viewed as a future chaser for Harry Fry. He suffered an irregular heartbeat when pulled up on fencing bow at Kempton and this will tell us more.<br><strong>You Wear It Well</strong> is yet to match her hurdles form over fences, while Personal Ambition would have claims on his Ascot second.<br>Paul Nicholls' five-year-old <strong>Blueking D'Oroux</strong> has been running well without winning in Graded company and this drop in class and distance can see him go close under Harry Cobden.<br><strong>Salver </strong>fell at the last when in contention in the Relkeel Hurdle at Cheltenham on New Year's Day and providing no ill effects are felt, he must be feared in this trappy renewal of the Weatherbys Cheltenham Festival Betting Guide Hurdle.<br>Never miss a story with all the latest racing news, interviews and features on your phone.
