Windross can spring a surprise in the Tote Silver Cup at Ascot's feature meeting tomorrow.
Despite the decent money on offer, this does not look the greatest of contests and the testing conditions could mean that the field cuts right up.
The young chaser was travelling as well as any of his rivals for most of the way in the Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup on his latest start but may have found the competition a little too tough and gradually faded out of contention as the leaders turned out of the back straight.
Trainer Alan King reports his charge to be none the worse for his exertions and in this slightly-easier grade, he is worth giving another chance to confirm the promise of his seasonal debut when third in the Badger Beer Chase at Wincanton.
Teaatral can extend his winning sequence to four in the Cantor Index Long Walk Hurdle.
Trainer Charlie Egerton hasn't run many so far this season but those he has sent out have performed well enough.
Teaatral is a highly-progressive horse who showed himself to be among the best long-distance hurdlers in Britain with a classy effort in the Grosvenor Casinos Long Distance Hurdle at Ascot in April, impressively beating the ill-fated Rubhahunish -- who was at the top of his game then.
The prevailing conditions should prove no problem.
Landing Light looks a fascinating contender in the Brunswick Knights Royal Hurdle.
The five-year-old won his only start in this country in impressive fashion, with useful yardstick Greyfield well held in third and was quietly-fancied to go well at the Cheltenham Festival until a last-minute injury ruled him out.
He has been attracting some quiet support in the ante-post Champion Hurdle betting and should go well for in-form trainer Nicky Henderson, who will also fancy his chances of taking the preceding Archmold Handicap Chase with course specialist Get Real.
Scotmail Lad may have a sequence of four 'seconds' next to his name on the racecard but there are no question-marks over his honesty -- he has just been unlucky to come up against some decent opposition this season.
But a repetition of his latest effort when chasing home classy prospect Lord Of The Sky at Carlisle would be good enough to see him land the stanleybet.co.uk Novices' Handicap Chase at Uttoxeter.
Aspirant Dancer looked a progressive performer when bolting up on his reappearance at Market Rasen last month and he can win again in the Ladbroke Handicap Hurdle.
The son of Marju was a consistent sort on the Flat for Michael Bell but has really taken to the jumping game and only had to be shaken up to see of useful yardstick Garruth by eight lengths.
Lucy Wadham must be really excited at having such a classy prospect on her hands and with Garruth franking the form at Cheltenham last weekend, Aspirant Dancer looks the best bet of the day.
