Random Harvest can romp home for his fourth victory of the season in the Peter Marsh Chase at Haydock today. Mary Reveley's 10-year-old has been in tremendous form this season with one win at Market Rasen in October and two at Wetherby in December. His latest success in the Rowland Meyrick Chase at the former track when he slammed The Last fling by seven lengths. He had earlier trotted up by 20 lengths there from the very useful Eirespray.

Although this represents his toughest test to date, Random Harvest has given every indication this term that he is capable of competing with the very best.

Wahiba Sands can boost his Cheltenham prospects by lifting the Intercity Champion Hurdle Trial. The six-year-old is third favourite for the hurdling crown on the strength of his smooth victory over Decoupage at Newbury in November after he joined Martin Pipe from John Dunlop's stable.

Deano's Beeno can initiate a notable treble for Pipe in the Tote Premier Long Distance Hurdle.

The seven-year-old, a leading fancy for the Stayers' Hurdle at Cheltenham, advertised his claims with a narrow defeat at the hands of Princeful at Ascot last month in his first race for 12 months.

Tipstaff can cap Pipe's day by making a successful British debut in the Harvey Lane Handicap Chase.

The French import, entered for the Tote Gold Cup and the Queen Mother Champion Chase at the Cheltenham Festival, can show his class by giving weight all round to some useful rivals.

Venetia Williams-trained Fourth In Line may be 11 years old but he is in the form of his life, and can take the Birchwood Novices' Chase.

Serenus, a winner at Kempton on St Stephen's Day can land the more valuable Tote Lanzarote Hurdle (Showcase Handicap) at the Sunbury track.

The six-year-old was winning the two-mile handicap hurdle on the card for the second successive season when storming home by 10 lengths from Road Race.

With an obvious liking for the course, Serenus can take the £30,000-added prize for Lambourn trainer Nicky Henderson.

Eagles Rest can emerge as a lively contender for the Arkle Trophy at the Cheltenham Festival in March by winning the Twickenham Novices' Chase to spark a double for Henderson.

The eight-year-old had some useful form as a novice hurdler, and showed no signs of ring-rustiness when he returned from injury at Kempton on St Stephen's Day when beating Sandown's Henry VIII Novices' Chase winner Dines by four lengths.

Given a rest since that run by his trainer, he can maintain his unblemished record over fences.

Get Real can make Henderson's day complete by winning the Victor Chandler Chase, which has been switched to the Sunbury course on the abandonment of Ascot on Thursday.
