SEE More Business can take tomorrow's most valuable race, the £45,000 Peterhouse Group Charlie Hall Cha-se at Wetherby.

But whether punters will be able to avail themselves of anything like the 11-4 generously offered by the bookies before his success in the event 12 months ago must be open to considerable doubt.

The only black spot on the 10-year-old's record last season was when he could finish only fourth in the Tote Cheltenham Gold Cup, chasing's "blue riband" event which he had won in 1999.

But having reportedly failed to act on the fast ground there, See More Business remains the highest-rated chaser in training in Britain and it would be a shock if he failed to land a repeat success.

The Grey Monk can spring a bit of an emotional surprise in the John Smith's Hurdle.

The veteran grey - now almost white - has never quite reached the heights that it seemed he once would.

But he remains one of the most popular horses in training in the north and although better known for his exploits over fences his fast and fluent jumping technique will stand him in good stead in this contest.

He has gone well fresh in the past and although his hurdling form gives him something to find, The Grey Monk can take a race that often serves up a shock.

Sunday Rain is worth considering in the opening Stanley Racing Wensleydale Juvenile Hurdle.

The colt was a bit of a tearaway for Paul Cole on the Flat but has reportedly adjusted well to hurdles and should go close on his jumps debut for new trainer Jonjo O'Neill.

The Ladbroke Autumn Stakes at Newmarket has seen some big gambles in previous runnings but it's hard to believe there will be another one this year with the vast majority of the field looking well exposed.

A hesitant vote is given to Topton, who will appreciate the likely end-to-end gallop and seems to be holding his form well.

Marcus Tregoning has found yet another ideal opportunity for Albarahin in the Charles Heidsieck Champagne Stakes to prove yet again what an admirable model of consistency he has become. Though Tregoning has saddled only 18 winners this season his yard was crippled by a virus earlier in the year and it wasn't until mid-July that the stable got off the mark.

Since then the yard has been making up for lost time and Albarahin is aclassic example of a horse who has been given a perfectly-planned autumn campaign.

Whereas most of his rivals will have been on the go far longer, the five-year-old is thriving in the final weeks of the season, winning Listed races at Goodwood and Newmarket and finishing second in the Prix Dollar at Longchamp.

This contest looks a little harder than that he won at Newmarket last time out but he loves a battle and can give his amiable trainer another success.
