'There are few better than the trainer when it comes to top two-mile chasers' - James Burn's Ten to Follow

Apparently, Nicky Henderson has a pretty useful Blue Bresil gelding called Constitution Hill, so it might be worth including him, but – unsurprisingly – he is not the only Seven Barrows inmate to make this Lambourn-orientated list.

He is joined by the enigmatic Shishkin, who is more talented than most horses in training, but perhaps just needs keeping sweet.

If his team can do that, he can pocket plenty of points, as can Jonbon.

I am convinced he was not right when beaten by El Fabiolo in the Arkle and mere mention of his name prompts a huge grin across the face of Paddy Murphy, who rides him regularly at home and knows him inside out, while there are few better than the trainer when it comes to top two-mile chasers.

The Henderson-trained Walking On Air is an exciting prospect for chasing, while Impose Toi and Under Control should have more to offer over hurdles.

You Wear It Well was a Cheltenham Festival heroine for Jamie Snowden last term and started this season with a bang at Wetherby recently.

She should be placed to smart effect by Snowden, whose Colonel Harry impressed on his chasing debut at Chepstow this week. He will take some stopping in testing ground and it would not be a shock if he was better than a handicapper.

The Warren Greatrex-trained Bill Baxter, April's Topham winner but a 13-and-a-half-length third in the Colin Parker on his return, can take a big step forward from that next time and expect to see a different horse in Newcastle's Rehearsal Chase or maybe even the Coral Gold Cup, while the capable Queens Gamble is not trained in Lambourn these days but is not far away at Harry Derham's new yard near Boxford and remains a mare full of promise for novice hurdling.
