Verdict

LULAMBA looked potentially top class when easily winning the Henry VIII Novices' Chase at Sandown on only his second chase start 9 weeks ago and is fancied to complete the hat-trick up against more experienced rivals. Saint Segal and Calico both arrive at the top of their game and can give the selection most to think about.

2	One of the leading juvenile hurdlers last season and has looked an even better chaser this term, winning Grade 1 at Sandown in impressive fashion 9 weeks ago. Taking on more seasoned rivals now but still looks the one to beat with ceiling not yet reached. 1st Pick 2 Lulamba (Fr) Jockey: Nico De Boinville Trainer: Nicky Henderson J: Nico De Boinville T: Nicky Henderson	100	-	-	-	90%

7	Having an excellent season, winning twice and runner-up other 2 starts, including when beaten only by a highly progressive rival in Grade 2 handicap at Kempton over Christmas. Should be bang there on these terms. 2nd Pick 7 Saint Segal (Fr) Jockey: Ciaran Gethings Trainer: Mrs Jane Williams J: Ciaran Gethings T: Mrs Jane Williams	99	-	-	-	17%

4	Brilliantly primed to win 2 £100k handicaps at Cheltenham and Ascot this autumn. Freshened up since and well worth another shot at this level. 3rd Pick 4 Calico (Ger) Jockey: Harry Skelton Trainer: Dan Skelton J: Harry Skelton T: Dan Skelton	96	-	-	-	5%
