BE My Mot clearly enjoys the run-up to Christmas as she runs all her best races at this time of year.

Her career high point came at this time 12 months ago when landing a Grade Two novice chase at Lingfield at odds of 50-1.

Trainer Gardie Grissell explained afterwards: "She loves the mud and is a stone better in it."

And with conditions sure to be in her favour at Folkestone tomorrow, she can capture the Daily Mail Mares' Only Handicap Hurdle.

After a spell out of form, she bounced right back when dotting up at Folkestone last month and although raised 8lb for that success, she still looks fairly-treated on the pick of her efforts.

Scots Grey justified strong support when scoring at Market Rasen last month and looks the type to do well in novice company this season.

The Nicky Henderson-trained son of Derby runner-up Terimon can land the EBF Daily Mail National Hunt Novices' Hurdle (Qualifier).

The stable rarely over-faces its youngsters and he can continue his education with another success, having already proved himself as being able to cope with give in the ground.

Sparkling Sword should appreciate the test of an extended 19 furlongs in heavy conditions for the Daily Mail Standard Open National Hunt Flat Race.

The five-year-old is a half-sister to Sparkling Cone, who stayed all day and loved it when the mud was flying.

And Sparkling Sword looked a similar sort when benefiting from a strong ride to win a decent-looking contest at Warwick on her racecourse debut, overcoming her obvious lack of experience to win going away.

Sure to come on for that run, she can win again.

Over at Uttoxeter, Maximize is fancied to land the Lefley's Hog Roast Novices' Chase.

The ex-eventer and winning point-to-pointer showed a decent level of form on his debut at this level when chasing home good yardstick Churchstanton at Warwick having jumped fluently throughout.

The six-year-old has very few miles on the clock and should certainly improve as the season goes on and can get off the mark under rules in this decent contest over two miles and five furlongs.

Supreme Fortune can maintain the good recent run of Mary Reveley's Saltburn stable with victory in the day's Showcase event, the Tote Jackpot Hurdle.

The gelding was an early casualty last time out at Wetherby but has dropped to a decent handicap mark and can oblige.
