Form & Verdict
Chasing didn't go to plan last season (four attempts) and he was easily reeled in after making the running on return to hurdling in March but a return to very patient tactics paid dividends at Bangor (2m, good) last month, where he cut through the field to cause a 33-1 surprise; his tendency to race too freely remains a concern but a recent 7lb rise ought to be manageable.

Chasing didn't go to plan last season (four attempts) and he was easily reeled in after making the running on return to hurdling in March; on a tempting mark now but his tendency to race far too freely remains a worry, and others are much less risky.

Winner of bumper (soft) and maiden hurdle (2m, good to soft); his free-going tendencies have remained evident over fences (0-4) but he might be happier back hurdling and this track should suit his style if they do go forward with him.

Two of his five wins over hurdles have been over C&D; has a decent record fresh and made a solid return when runner-up over C&D (good) last month; 5lb higher than his last winning mark though and a career-best is required.
