IM TOO GENEROUS returned to action with a comprehensive success over timber here, which will have set him up nicely for a profitable chasing campaign. He is comparatively well treated in this sphere and can account for Buckled, who showed his appreciation for the return to fences by winning as he liked over C&D. Chanceanotherfive should relish reverting from hurdles, and Stop The World is interesting following a wind operation.
Prediction : 1st Im Too Generous 2nd Buckled 3rd Stop The World

Goa Lil impressed when making every post a winning one at Kempton, but he was previously a couple of positions adrift of THYME WHITE at the same circuit. Paul Nicholls' juvenile was no match for Triumph Hurdle fancy Goshen on his British bow, but his Kempton effort was much more encouraging and he can continue to progress. Group Stage didn't disgrace himself at Cheltenham and, at longer odds, Anna Bunina could be worth a look because she is rated in the 80s on the level.
Prediction : 1st Thyme White 2nd Goa Lil 3rd Group Stage

FRED took a brief while to find his feet after arriving at Nicky Henderson's with a good reputation but he put it all together at Kempton on Boxing Day and if he improves again as expected, this could even tee him up for a tilt at Cheltenham's Supreme Novices' Hurdle. Wild Max is yet to put a foot wrong for Paul Nicholls and is the primary threat, although it is a hot little race and Irish raider Construct has to be given plenty of consideration too.
Prediction : 1st Fred 2nd Wild Max 3rd Construct

SAINT XAVIER was a classy chaser in France so it is no surprise that David Maxwell added him to his burgeoning squad of Gallic recruits. Paul Nicholls has kept the eight-year-old to the smaller obstacles so far but he looked the part at Kempton and although connections harbour Grand National aspirations, there are more races in him in this sphere first. Some Chaos is better known for his fencing exploits so I K Brunel and Baron De Midleton should give the selection most to worry about.
Prediction : 1st Saint Xavier 2nd I K Brunel 3rd Baron De Midleton
