Dan Skelton appears set to unleash some smart novices at Carlisle on Monday and it may be worth keeping a close eye on Mydaddypaddy in the first division of the Bowel Cancer Screening Programme Saves Lives Maiden Hurdle.
A son of Walk In The Park, the four-year-old created a deep impression when readily bolting up in his Huntingdon bumper in March and has been talked about by connections since.
Already joint-favourite for the Supreme Novices' Hurdle in places, hopes are high he can fulfil his potential over hurdles and this looks a great opportunity to take the next step in his career for a team who are at the peak of their powers.
The Skeltons are also the men to follow in the second division 30 minutes later, when winning graduate from the pointing field Real Quartz makes his rules introduction.
Representing owners who are not afraid to open the cheque book for a smart one, he changed hands for £190,000 following his impressive success between the flags and is sure to have had an excellent education in beginning life with Sam Curling before switching to the Lodge Hill team.
Lune Brillante could cap a brilliant afternoon for the leading operation in the Nigel Hawke Raceday Experiences Mares' Open Maiden National Hunt Flat Race, a race they won last year with Getawhisky.
Venetia Williams' first few runners of the year have performed with credit and Ostrava Du Berlais can keep up the good work in the Great Gable Mares' Handicap Chase.
While her statistics of two wins in 16 chase starts are not exceptional, the seven-year-old has run some fair races in defeat too and is one for the shortlist.
Also at Carlisle, The Widdow Maker can strike in the Unibet Middle Distance Chase Series Veterans' Handicap Chase.
He ran well off his current mark of 121 in open company and should find this a slightly easier task against fellow seniors.
On a quiet day, the other jumps action comes from Kempton where Paul Nicholls' Talk To The Man could be the answer to the JCB Fastrac Novices' Hurdle.
A £100,000 winning pointer, he garnered valuable education in bumpers last season, not disgraced at Newbury in March when he still showed signs of greenness up against some useful opposition.
The winner first, second and third from that heat have all run with credit in their opening outings of the season and it is no surprise to see the Ditcheat handler heading up in distance with Talk To The Man for his first taste of obstacles under rules.
With Harry Skelton in action at Carlisle, it leaves Tristan Durrell perfectly placed to take the reins aboard the in-form Ice In The Veins in the JCB Hydrogen Novices' Hurdle.
The five-year-old could take some stopping having racked up plenty of experience to date.
He has already run three times over the hurdles and was a 10-length winner at Warwick when last seen.
He drops back in trip here but looks to have the gears to cope with that and conditions could prove perfect. - Press Association
