It could be worth taking a chance on DODDIETHEGREAT (2). Nicky Henderson has enjoyed a fine festive period and it would not be a surprise if his nine-year-old bounced back to form. It is easy to put a line through his recent Kempton outing (horse veered into him) and there is no doubt he has the form in the book to score off this mark. HOURVARI (5) could prove the main danger racing off a 1lb lower rating than when second in this class at Wetherby (2m4f) during November. FINE CASTING (8) cannot be ignored after finishing a decent runner-up over hurdles at Lingfield last month. CAST'S TASHA (10) might find the frame.
