MOFASA (1.40, nap) is fancied to make his second start over fences a winning one with a victory in the Premier League Offers At Rhino.Bet Novices’ Limited Handicap Chase at Huntingdon on Sunday.

Paul Nicholls’ seven year old was beaten by Broadway Boy at Worcester in September on his first attempt over the larger obstacles but a British Horseracing Authority rating of 130 gives Harry Cobden’s mount a sound chance of going one better as he steps into handicap company for the first time.

Later on at the Cambridgeshire track, HILLFINCH (3,25, nb) is tipped to overcome the burden of top weight to land the Rhino.Bet Handicap Hurdle.

The Stuart Edmunds-trained six year old was last seen in good form, winning the mares' handicap hurdle at Huntingdon in March.

Uncharacteristic finishing effort when seventh at Southwell on his final start but he now returns after six months off and can bounce back.
