Cristal Bonus, who made an impressive debut over fences at Chepstow last month, is among 13 entries for the Pendil Novices' Chase at Kempton on Saturday.
The six-year-old is a leading fancy for the Jewson Novices' Chase at Cheltenham, and also holds entries in the Arkle Trophy and the RSA Chase at the Festival.
Trainer Paul Nicholls also has him in the Kilbrittain Castle Novices' Chase at Sandown on Friday.
Saturday's contest could be very competitive after it was reopened.
Nicky Henderson has put in Cucumber Run and Minella Class, while Nigel Twiston-Davies has an interesting entry in Frascati Park.
Micheal Flips and Zaynar were both in action at Newbury on Friday but could make a quick reappearance.
Other possibles include Lancetto, Falcon Island and Duke Of Lucca.
