There was a lot to like about the way Keltic Heritage won at Hereford recently. Making all and jumping boldly, Luke Dace's eight-year-old looked to be one to follow in these smaller novice chases and he gets the TEAMtalk vote here. The unknown quantity is Hansbury, from the Paul Nicholls yard. The gelding is sure to have been well schooled and should give a good account, though the market should be watched for a guide to his chances. Of the other trio Coursing Run has ability but would probably prefer softer ground, while both Crack Regiment and Simply The One look moderate individuals.
