The four-year-old Grade 2 winner at Cheltenham's November meeting is a general 14-1 for the Triumph, having won two of his three starts over hurdles so far, and Harris hopes he can get back to winning ways before the festival to cement his place as a major contender. Harris has also entered Mullenbeg and Postmark for the Dovecote Novices' Hurdle , which is headed by the Gary Moore-trained Hansard, and a third Grade 2 run comes in the form of Jacamar in the £150,000 feature Coral Trophy .

The topweight is Frodon, back in handicap company for the first time since claiming the Badger Beer Chase at Wincanton in November, and he is joined by stablemates Saint Calvados and Enrilo, while Paul Nicholls also runs Solo in the Coral Pendil Novices' Chase..

Harry Fry and Jonathan Burke's Boothill, who took a similar event in the Wayward Lad Novices' Chase in December, is favourite to get back to winning ways in the Coral Pendil Novices' Chase, while Christian Williams is back for more success with last Saturday's Swinley Handicap Chase success at Ascot, Cap Du Nord, who won the Coral Trophy last year, in the lineup.

Kitty's Light is Williams's entry for the Vertem Eider Handicap Chase and leads the market for Newcastle's marathon contest.
