The weekend's winners line up back in 2025 and start with their best picks for the event at Sandown this Saturday.
Host Kate Tracy is joined by Declan Rix of attheraces.com and Sam Boswell of BetVictor as they preview a competitive card, including the Chase Veterans Playoffs.
Declan and Kate take on each other in the two-mile free bet with Unibet's Betbuilder Rebound Handicap Hurdle (3.35), while Sam stands alongside one of the older favorites earlier on the card.
Declan Rix from attheraces.com…
Oh My Johnny (Sandown, 3.35)
“I'm really interested in him. I think the 116 mark is very suitable for the team of Philip Hobbs and Johnson White.
“When he ran at Bangor, I made him run to a classification of 120. He finished the race by going to the end when he fell and I thought that was very unlucky.
“Then he won well at Uttoxeter. His jumping is still a bit sloppy, but what I really like about him is he finds a lot of pressure.
“I think he's very well handicapped and the yard is flying.”

Navajo Indy (Sandown, 3.35)
“It's a tough bet but I really like the horse that's third on the list, Navajo Indy.
“Any one of them could win the title because they are very competitive, but they are seeking a four-time player and he finished last season with his first win.
“He had more restraint in the Gerry Fielden race last time but I hope he goes back to sharper tactics because that tends to go to this type of horse.
“He proved himself on soft ground last time out as well, showing his versatility. He's put on eight pounds, which won't be easy, but he's a player and very likable.”

Copperhead (Sandown, 3.00)
“I like his consistency and I hope that continues.
“I checked Joe Tizzard's comments after Chepstow at the start of the season and they were doing well after the Veterans Series final. Since then, it's been going well.
“Freddie Jingle's return will result in him losing 3lbs which will be really helpful.
“I think his stablemate (Eldorado Allen) could have been a bit of a danger, but he's been pushed (in the handicap) so there's not as much between them as there was.”
