ANTEROS can supply Gloucestershire trainer Sophie Leech with a nice winner at Sandown.

The eight-year-old is a pretty useful operator when he has conditions to suit and looks overpriced for the Betfred Mobile Heroes Handicap Hurdle.

Anteros tried his hand over fences in December, finishing a rather unimpressive fourth at Uttoxeter, but looked revitalised upon his return to hurdling at Cheltenham on New Year's Day.

Leech's inmate made a seamless return to three miles in a competitive handicap hurdle when he finished third in heavy ground.

He was only beaten three and three-quarter lengths by Singlefarmpayment, yet might even have got a shade closer had he not been pinched for room at the last flight.

No matter, that should set up Anteros nicely for this Grade Three, especially as there is likely to be a fair bit of give in the Esher terrain.

He is hardly a handicap snip but, with stamina seemingly not an issue, today's nap choice might just catch a few by surprise in what looks an open race.

All eyes will be on TEA FOR TWO and Lizzie Kelly in the Betfred TV Scilly Isles Novices' Chase.

Kelly made history in becoming the first woman to ride a Grade One winner in Britain when the pair scored in style at Kempton on Boxing Day.

The Nick Williams-trained seven-year-old was also a good hurdler and with Cheltenham not on his radar, races like this have been specifically targeted.

PEACE AND CO badly blotted his copybook in the International at Cheltenham when tearing away with Daryl Jacob – but the wheels should be back on the wagon after the Betfred Racing "Follow Us On Twitter" Contenders Hurdle.

Thought of as Britain's best chance of taking the Champion Hurdle crown away from Willie Mullins and Faugheen, Nicky Henderson has left no stone unturned in his bid to get him back on track.

There should be good racing on the Flat at Lingfield, where LIGHTSCAMERACTION is a likely player in the Unibet Cleves Stakes.

Gay Kelleway's sprinter looked really good over five furlongs at this track in December, when he skipped nearly two lengths clear of Brother Tiger under a positive Adam Kirby.

The four-year-old chestnut could not back that up at Chelmsford last month, finishing third to Lancelot Du Lac, but Kelleway interestingly said afterwards that Lightscameraction was not quite as fit as she had wanted him to be.

With that in mind, this progressive-looking animal can set the record straight if getting a clean break from stall nine.

Lightscameraction has only ever won over five furlongs but Kelleway has always been of the opinion this longer distance will put him in an even more positive light.

Few horses on the all-weather circuit go quite as well as GRENDISAR at Lingfield, with Marco Botti's honourable gelding taken to land another sizeable kitty in the coral.co.uk Winter Derby Trial Stakes.

The six-year-old won this race by a short head 12 months ago and is in good enough form to anticipate the form being upheld with the runner-up last year, Lamar.

DEPUTY DAN should have a whale of a time in the Ffos Las mud when he takes in the Dribuild Ltd Welsh Champion Hurdle.

Oliver Sherwood's eight-year-old always saves his best form on deep ground, as he showed in the Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury when he fleetingly gave Thistlecrack something to think about.

Deputy Dan has plenty of weight but he has the quality to overcome that particular burden.

BLAKLION can capitalise on the absence of Seeyouatmidnight by winning the totepool Towton Novices' Chase at Wetherby.

The selection was firmly put in his place by Seeyouatmidnight at Cheltenham on New Year's Day but, with that one having returned a dirty scope, the stage looks set for Nigel Twiston-Davies' likeable seven-year-old.

There are just the four Grade Ones to think about at Leopardstown, with FOXROCK primed to cause a minor upset in the Irish Gold Cup.

This revolves around Road To Riches – but Ted Walsh's eight-year-old offers a bit more value after having finished a close second in the race 12 months ago.

He was also a little unlucky to go down by just a length to Don Poli in the Lexus Chase over Christmas.

ZABANA, an easy winner at Leopardstown last time, has been well backed for the JLT at Cheltenham this week and can thwart a strong Willie Mullins team in the Flogas Novice Chase.

Trainer Andrew Lynch could hardly have been happier after his winning debut over fences, as he is expected to come on a bundle from it. Recent money suggests he has done just that.

Mullins is highly unlikely to leave the party empty-handed as BELLSHILL simply must go close in the Deloitte Novice Hurdle, while it would be a bit of a shock not to see Triumph Hurdle favourite IVANOVICH GORBATOV win the GAIN Spring Juvenile Hurdle for Aidan and Joseph O'Brien.

The latter was the talk of the Dublin track when making a winning start over obstacles at the Christmas meeting, being all the rage for Cheltenham in the immediate aftermath.
