Dual winner in this sphere but has been operating below his best for a while and is best left alone at present.

J: James Turner

T: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies

Chasing didn't go to plan in the autumn (three attempts) and he's looked out of sorts over hurdles lately; will appreciate this ease in grade but still needs huge boost from the first-time cheekpieces.

J: Kevin Brogan

T: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies

Potentially well handicapped but he tried chasing earlier this season and hasn't offered a lot back over hurdles; it looks significant that regular rider Sam Twiston-Davies has turned elsewhere.

Form & Verdict
Back from a break to make a lot of the running at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) and win by 7l; raised 10lb but he did have last week's Newbury winner Mahler Moon back in third.

J: Lorcan Williams

T: Tim Vaughan

Chasing on last five starts has not really worked out; Taunton (2m3f) last February and Warwick (2m) last March saw him register a double over hurdles and he's back to his last winning mark for today's switch in codes but, after three non-completions at about 3m over fences, stamina also has to be proved.

Mixed results (5FP4) since switched to chasing but is now only 1lb above last winning hurdles mark and Edward Vaughan takes off a bonus 7lb; possibilities, provided he stays returned to 3m.

Just ahead of Gris Majeur when falling at third-last fence at Taunton (2m7f, good to firm) in November, his second chase, but struggled on next outing; others in this line-up look much less risky.

Form & Verdict
Bumper winner; quite eyecatching when beaten 4l in her first handicap (2m, good to soft) and raced too freely off the pace when beaten further at Fontwell (2m3f); drops back in distance here and she retains potential.
