Crystal Island is unbeaten in two starts under Rules for Nicky Henderson, having also won his point-to-point. He makes his chasing and handicap debut off a mark of 133 and looks a particularly interesting prospect.
14:00 | WEATHERITE HANDICAP CHASE (2M)
Larzac won a maiden hurdle on his first start for Faye Bramley and now makes his chasing and handicap debut. Could he be ahead of the assessor?
14:35 | TOM OLLIVER HANDICAP CHASE (3M3½F)
Resplendent Grey produced an excellent time figure when fifth to Havaila at Sandown, beaten just eight lengths in a race run 6.10 seconds faster than standard.
With good ground forecast at Cheltenham, his claims look particularly compelling on the clock.
15:10 | GREATWOOD HANDICAP HURDLE (2M½F)
GREATWOOD HURDLE | IS IDAHO SUN WELL HANDICAPPED?
Grade 1-winning novice hurdler Idaho Sun could be attractively treated off a mark of 142.
Dan Skelton saddles three intriguing contenders in Let It Rain, Harry Lowes and The Mighty Celt, while Pioneer Pete was Laura Joy's selection in our RaceiQ special.
Last year's runner-up Helnwein also returns with strong claims in a fascinating renewal.

Can Elliott extend his remarkable record in the race?
15:00 | TROYTOWN HANDICAP CHASE (GRADE 3, 3M)
THE WALLPARK & FIREFOX | TWO FASCINATING BETTING ANGLES
The Wallpark showed Grade 1 ability over hurdles and looks attractively handicapped off a mark of 142.
With first-time cheekpieces and Jack Kennedy choosing to ride him, his claims are particularly interesting.
But could Firefox be significantly overpriced at 20/1?
His record when fresh suggests he could be a dangerous outsider in one of Ireland's most competitive early-season handicap chases.

AINTREE | GRADE 2 STARS & HANDICAP BETS
13:15 | HANDICAP CHASE (2M)
Kadastral is a short-priced favourite to make a winning chasing debut from a mark of 125. Is he worth supporting at the odds, or could an experienced rival expose his inexperience?
13:45 | MOLYNEUX HURDLE (GRADE 2, 2M1F)
A fascinating early-season clash with potential Champion Hurdle implications.
Champion Hurdle fourth Alexi faces Supreme Novices' Hurdle third Mydaddypaddy and juvenile Grade 1 winner Mange Tout.
Which horse can establish himself as a serious championship contender?
14:25 | BOODLES RISING STARS NOVICES' CHASE (GRADE 2, 2M4F)
No Drama This End could be one of the most exciting novice chasers in training.

Coul Angel steps up in class after impressing in handicaps, while former winner Montassib returns for another attempt at the prize.

14:45 | IRISH EBF GILLIES FILLIES' STAKES (LISTED, 1M2F)
I'm The One was considered an Oaks contender earlier in the season before finishing behind subsequent St Leger third Amelia Earhart at Chester.

Is she ready to fulfil her early promise?
15:25 | NOVEMBER HANDICAP (1M4F)
NOBODY KNOWS | THE PANEL'S BEST BET?
The lightly raced Nobody Knows has caught the attention of three members of the panel, who consider him one of the strongest betting opportunities of the weekend.

THE WEEKEND'S BEST BETS
◆ 10/1 selection in the Wentworth Stakes◆ 15/2 and 10/1 bets at Aintree◆ Nobody Knows strongly fancied by three panellists◆ Grade 2 analysis and horses to follow over jumps
