"Astigos almost snatched the Timeform Novices' Handicap Chase out of the fire at Cheltenham in January, and is worth siding with to get the job done in this less competitive affair."

Timeform pick two bets from Huntingdon and one from Sedgefield on Saturday.

Fergal Mael Duin - 15:30 Huntingdon

This could be the day that Fergal Mael Duin finally breaks his duck. He was given an overly-aggressive ride when third here last month and gets the nod ahead of Take The Mick and the frustrating pair Safran de Cotte and Fredo.

Short Takes - 16:00 Huntingdon

Short Takes won a C&D claimer in November and should benefit from a recent pipe-opener at Catterick. He gets the nod ahead of Tealissio and Malanos.

Astigos - 16:10 Sedgefield

Astigos almost snatched the Timeform Novices' Handicap Chase out of the fire at Cheltenham in January, and is worth siding with to get the job done in this less competitive affair. Sun Cloud may prove the biggest threat.
