GOD'S OWN can confirm his place at the Cheltenham Festival by making a triumphant return from his winter break at Kempton today.

Tom George's eight-year-old was last seen finishing third to Vibrato Valtat when attempting to repeat his previous season's success in the Haldon Gold Cup at Exeter in early November.

Entered in both the Betway Queen Mother Champion Chase and the Ryanair Chase next month, God's Own has his prep run in the Racing UK 3 Devices 1 Price Graduation Chase.

He certainly has plenty of smart form to recommend him, probably no better than when he was second to Un De Sceaux in the Arkle Trophy last March.

Although George will have left a bit to work on ahead of another big date at Cheltenham, God's Own is sure to be fit enough to put up a good show with Paddy Brennan on board.

After a string of poor performances, TINKER TIME returned to form with a vengeance at Ludlow in early December with a cosy seven-length call over Goodtoknow.

The eight-year-old, trained by Bob Buckler, is no stranger to victory on this course, having landed a three-mile novice event in November 2014. He can do the business again in the Rasher Frith Memorial Handicap Chase. Liam Heard is booked for the ride.

TROJAN STAR has yet to win a contest of any kind but the six-year-old has been knocking on the door this season with decent placed efforts at Huntingdon and Leicester.

Trainer Kim Bailey could have found the race for Trojan Star to shine in the Racing UK Free Trial Novices' Limited Handicap Chase, with David Bass the jockey.

KING OF THE WOLDS has run creditably at Wetherby in the past and can defy top weight under Brian Hughes in the racinguk.com Handicap Chase.

Malcolm Jefferson's nine-year-old will not have run for 83 days, when he was fourth to Emperor's Choice at Haydock, but he goes well fresh and can take this qualifier for the Challenger Staying Chase Series Final.

AULDTHUNDER has hit a rich vein of form recently, with two wins at Catterick, and can complete the hat-trick for trainer Micky Hammond in the Yorkshire Post Ladies Night – 24th May Handicap Hurdle. Joe Colliver has the mount.

ASTIGOS may have been outclassed at Cheltenham last time in the race won by King's Odyssey but Venetia Williams' charge had run well in all his three previous races this term.

He can bounce back against less exacting company in the Racing UK Day Pass Just £10 Handicap Chase.

At Wolverhampton's evening meeting, MALVESI can do the business in the Download The Ladbrokes App Handicap.

Trained in Middleham by Mark Johnston, having previously been in the care of Ann Duffield, the seven-year-old stepped up considerably on previous efforts over eight-and-a-half furlongs at this track in January.

The gelded son of Iceman was only beaten a length by Les Gar Gan and is expected to reap handsome dividends for this drop in distance. He remains on a very lowly mark under Joe Fanning in what is a moderate race at best.

SUPERSTA can knock off a swift double in the Ladbrokes Handicap.

Mick Appleby, who is making hay on the all-weather this winter, has done a really good job with this five-year-old, who is not the most straightforward of fellows.

He did, though, look really good at Chelmsford on Sunday when he scooted a length and a half clear of One Pekan.

With the descent to seven furlongs unlikely to be an issue whatsoever, Supersta can eke out another success under a 6lb penalty with George Baker on board.

There is more interest than usual at Dundalk as the Irish course stages a fast-track qualifier for the all-weather championships at Lingfield on Good Friday.

It sees the return of the CAPTAIN JOY, who was a close third to Grey Mirage in the mile final last spring. Off the track since late June, the Tracey Collins-trained seven-year-old can book his return ticket for the big day.
