Oli Bell previews the ITV Racing action and fancies novice Slate House to really put it up to his rivals in the Cotswold Chase at Cheltenham.

Simply The Betts

Generally progressive over fences this season, he couldn't get into a rhythm at Kempton last time but stayed on well late in the piece and will enjoy a return to a left-hand circuit at Cheltenham.

Arguably hasn't had the rub of the green so far this season but ran another game race when third last time and he's definitely going to be suited by a drop back in distance at a track we know he likes.

Slate House

Fascinating contender here being a novice taking on more established chasers and he was a resounding winner of the Grade One Kauto Star Novices' Chase at Kempton on Boxing Day.

King Roland

Has been held in high regard by Harry Fry from the outset and while he's officially got a little bit to find on the figures, he has huge potential to improve beyond these rivals.
