The Grade 2 betinternet.com Henry VIII Novices' Chase always adds some extra spice to Sandowns winter meeting and this year looks to be no different.

Tony McCoy take the ride on Free World trained by Paul Nicholls who is fancied for the Arkle next March, this four year old looks a promising sort who had a perfect start to fences last month, he steps up to Grade two here so it will be interesting to see if he can continue his success in what will be a tough task.

Cheating Chance trained by Andy Turnell looks a great sort that has got to be in with a shot here, this seven year old has come back into work on fire with two wins, firstly at Stratford in October then went on to back this up at Ascot last month. He tries at Grade two here so it could be a different story but he has proved he deserves to take his chance.
