DOUBLE: Bench Warrent and Sir Tantallus Hawk.

Bench Warrent always looked the type to come into his own over fences and can get his chase career off to a winning start at Market Rasen.

Charlie Mann's charge was far from disgraced over hurdles but just looked to lack the necessary edge required for that speedy sphere.

The six-year-old was a debut point-to-point winner in Ireland but failed to build on that effort when placed in three of his first four starts on these shores.

However, he finally got his head in front at the Lincolnshire venue last February, although he made hard work of beating the useful Wychwoods Legend by half a length.

Stepped up to three miles for his last two starts, Bench Warrent did not win but certainly proved he has the stamina for a trip and that should stand him in good stead for the Victor Lucas Memorial Novices' Chase.

Much has been written about King O'The Gypsies since his 120,000 guineas sale last October.

Although he failed to make it to the track for owner Graham Wylie and trainer Howard Johnston last term, he is certainly one to not oppose as he finally reappears in the Enjoy Raceday Hospitality At Market Rasen Races Novices' Hurdle.

Sir Tantallus Hawk won three on the bounce last season before coming unstuck when upped in company at the Grand National meeting.

Alan Swinbank's five-year-old impressed in wins at Catterick, Kelso and Newcastle before being sent for a Grade Two event at Aintree.

Sir Tantallus Hawk raced prominently in the early stages of the Mersey Novices' Hurdle but was found wanting when the pace upped a notch and eventually pulled up.

A win in the Felinfoel Brewery Handicap Hurdle at Ffos Las can help him get back on track.

Sambulando is another on a retrieval mission in the Barry Walters Catering Novices' Chase at the same track.

Twice a winner over hurdles, he was sent off odds on to make a winning chase debut here last month.

He was still going well three from home that day before he clattered the fence and gave his rider no chance of maintaining their partnership.

Hopefully Sambulando will have gleaned plenty from that experience and Tom George is sure to have put in adequate work on his jumping.

The Paul Nicholls bandwagon is already rolling along nicely and Quideo De Touzaine can keep up the momentum in Hereford's freebets.co.uk Maiden Hurdle.

A seven-length winner of a Stratford bumper on his only start last season, this French-bred looks another promising prospect.
