L'EAU DU SUD (1) showed he could dig deep making it two from two over fences in the G1 Henry VIII Novices Chase at Sandown during December. Can keep that unbeaten chase record intact. Smart hurdler RUBAUD (3) fell on chasing debut in the G2 Wayward Lad Novices Chase but is by far the biggest danger on ratings. TEDLEY (4) and RISKINTHEGROUND (2) look set to fight it out for third spot.
