The market should prove informative with a number of handicap debutants in the mix here. Chief amongst those to keep any eye on in expensive purchase Palmers Hill, winner on debut over hurdles at Uttoxeter in October and open to doing better on the back of his run at Ascot since. Colonial Dreams will need perhaps need to sharpen his jumping but represents Nicky Henderson and so will have every chance of doing just that. Kapcorse represents a yard going along very nicely (though Barry Geraghty seemingly prefers Palmers Hill). Any of the trio could mount a bit but they have a fair yardstick to aim at in JUST SO COOL, who came back from a long layoff with a smooth Huntingdon win last month. He's been hit with an 8lb rise for that success but, if he runs to a similar level, he could well defy the assessor. The mare Miss Adventure improved in a first-time hood at Plumpton and is another handicap debutante of note.
