13:15 Cheltenham - Back She Is For Me Boys E/W @ 5/16.00

The opening race on Saturday's ITV coverage of Cheltenham is a competitive mares' handicap chase and cases can be made for plenty of the 16-strong field.

The one that appeals most is Jamie Snowden's She Is For Me Boys, who is still unexposed and created a big impression on her chase debut at Kempton last month.

A former point winner, she made a seamless transition to the bigger obstacles having won her previous two starts over hurdles, jumping soundly and drawing clear of Ilovethenightlife on the run-in, with a subsequent winner giving substance to the form back in third.

The selection has been raised 7lb for that but still looks well treated given the manner in which she scooted clear and there should be plenty more to come.

13:50 Cheltenham - Back Colonel Harry E/W @ 8/19.00

The big race on Saturday is the Support The Hunt Family Fund December Gold Cup and the obvious starting point is with favourite Jagwar, who was most progressive last season, winning four of his five starts.

However, he is returning from 275 days off here and connections will surely be keen not to bottom him out with a long season ahead and there looks to be some mileage in taking him on from an each-way perspective.

Colonel Harry was smart novice a few seasons ago, but things didn't pan out ideally in a truncated campaign last term, though he was right back to his best when striking in the Grand Sefton at Aintree on his return.

Making his ground wider than ideal having rather lost his place at one point, Colonel Harry typically showed a willing attitude to get the job done and this stiff track should play to his strengths as he attempts to follow up from a 4lb higher mark.

14:25 Cheltenham - Back David's Well @ 5/23.50

Although he was a bigger price earlier in the week, David's Well still looks worth backing in the following handicap chase.

A lightly-raced six-year-old, the selection has been most progressive since going over the bigger obstacles, winning comfortably on his chase debut at Leicester a year ago before following up in equally taking fashion at Chepstow later the same month.

We then didn't see David's Well for 330 days, but he carried on his unbeaten record over fences on his return at Haydock last month, putting in an excellent round of jumping to come home ahead of the consistent Escapeandevade.

A 6lb rise may not be enough to halt the selections's progress, in fact it may underestimate him a to a fair degree and there's every chance he can maintain his unbeaten start to life over fences, while he won't be inconvenienced if the current good to soft ground becomes more testing (has won a couple of times on soft).

I did toy with putting up Jubilee Alpha in the final race of the day, a mares' handicap hurdle, but her price has got tight enough now considering she has to give weight away all round.

Unlucky not to win having made a shuddering error on her seasonal return, Paul Nicholls' charge should reverse form with her conqueror that day Sweet Caryline, but she looks priced about right all things considered.
