Cowley can win four in a row at Sandown

The duo have struck up an excellent rapport this term, winning each of their last three starts.

Grade One honours are up for grabs in the Betfred TV Scilly Isles Novices’ Chase and Fountains Windfall can surprise a couple of rivals.

It will be a huge shock if Buveur D’Air gets turned over in the Betfred “Supports Jack Berry House” Contenders Hurdle.

Terrefort can book his Festival ticket with victory in the totesport.com Towton Novices’ Chase at Towcester.

At Musselburgh, Paul Nicholls can take advantage with Copain De Classe in the bet365 Scottish Champion Chase while Brahms De Clermont can bring up a hat-trick in the bet365 Scottish County Hurdle.

Victory Bond can steal a share of the limelight by winning Lingfield’s Betway Winter Derby Trial.

Leopardstown stages the inaugural two-day Dublin Racing Festival and the BHP Insurance Irish Champion Hurdle is the key event on day one.

Willie Mullins’ Faugheen would be the one to beat if he turns up in anywhere near his best form.

Mullins should also be on the mark with Footpad in the Irish Arkle, while Yorkhill is of plenty of interest.
