20/1
Looked a classy chaser in 2019/20 but lost his way for Nigel Twiston-Davies last season, so returns from 9 months off with plenty to prove.

10/1
Winning start for this yard on return at Aintree last term and followed that with a couple of creditable efforts in defeat. Let down by jumping the last twice, though, so others make more appeal.

Made big strides forward over fences last season, completing hat-trick in Greatwood Gold Cup at Newbury in March. Satisfactory couple of spins over hurdles so far this term, so one to consider.

4/1
Progressive novice hurdler and quickly even better over fences, landing Cheltenham handicap over this trip in October before easily landing the odds in a match at Plumpton. Excellent claims.

13/2
Useful hurdler/chaser who hasn't won for a while but was in the process of running well when falling at Stratford 37 days ago. Not a forlorn hope.

6/1
Highly likeable chaser who returned with a career-best effort to make all at Ascot on reappearance, albeit capitalising on the shortcomings of others to some degree. Should give her all again.

20/1
Easy winner of Sandown handicap chase in February and shaped as if still in form (found little) on sole start since. Unexposed in this sphere and yard are likely to have him fit for this return.

Grade 2 hurdles winner who made it third time lucky over fences at Haydock (19.9f) in February. Better than result both outings this season, so claims if they go a solid gallop.

In good form last season, including a win in this corresponding race (from 6 lb lower) last year. Solid return when third at Ayr 18 days ago, so all set for a bold showing despite his advancing years.

Useful mare who looked as good as ever when runner-up in listed company at Market Rasen on reappearance. Mark remains a fair one and this bigger field/stronger pace should suit her.

12:55 Aintree - 4 December 2021 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

ANNUAL INVICTUS was progressive as a hurdler and has hit the ground running switched to the larger obstacles this term, so he's fancied to complete a hat-trick with some solid jumping sure to hold him in good stead. Palmers Hill, who was going away at the finish at Wetherby last time, should pose a threat, while Galahad Quest is up to defying his current mark when everything drops right.
