Earl Of Tyrone stands out at Kempton in the Unibet 3 Uniboosts A Day Conditions Stakes as he makes his debut for William Haggas.
The chestnut was previously trained in Ireland by Paddy Twomey and has a Listed win and an Ebor third under his belt from that spell.
Though he will be making his debut on the all-weather at Kempton, an entry in a fast-track qualifier for the All Weather Finals Day suggests confidence in this route and under Haggas' care he cannot be overlooked.
On the same card, it is Eve Johnson Houghton's Rooful who looks set to continue a great run of form in the Join Racing TV Now Fillies' Handicap.
The five-year-old has enjoyed a purple patch since autumn, winning three of her four starts over seven furlongs at Kempton and suffering only one loss when the runner up at the same track over a mile.
The winner on the latter occasion has won four times since, boosting Rooful's hopes of another all-weather success when returned to a mile against her own sex.
Bo Zenith can reward Gary Moore's faith in the Racing To School Juvenile Hurdle at Ludlow.
A winner in France last spring, he beat the Willie Mullins-trained Blood Destiny and he is set to be one of the favourites for the Triumph Hurdle next month.
Because of the strength of that form, there was lots of confidence behind Bo Zenith for his British debut at Sandown and he was sent off an odds-on favourite, but he trailed home a well-beaten third of four.
Moore has a few nice juvenile hurdlers this season and thought Bo Zenith was the best of them, so it is worth giving him one more chance.
Fergal O'Brien's Great Heart'Jac can follow up a recent win at Leicester in the S A S Utilities Ltd Novices' Handicap Chase.
Down in grade he was able to be ridden confidently and with only a 3lb rise to overcome, he should be tough to beat.
Tom George's Jobesgreen Lad arrives on a hat-trick in the Attwood Memorial Trophy Handicap Chase after wins at Hereford and Ludlow.
Decent ground seems to suit and while he has been hit hard by the handicapper, he is still running off bottom weight.
Laura Morgan repeatedly shows that with the right ammunition she is a very capable trainer.
She runs Here We Have It off top weight in the Vickersbet.com Handicap Chase at Southwell and there is every chance he can follow up a course and distance win from early December.
He meets the runner-up Treshnish on 4lb worse terms, but Sue Smith's charge had a 3lb conditional on board that day who is replaced by Brian Hughes this time.
Stuart Edmunds had a slow first half of the campaign but his horses are running into form.
His Sedge Wren was an easy winner on her hurdling debut in October and can defy a penalty in the Cazoo Mares' Novices' Hurdle
