Has shown a liking for this course, winning at 2m4f in November and going down fighting over C&D this month; up another 3lb but strong contender with proven ability to act on quick ground.

J: Liam Harrison

T: Fergal O’Brien

Lightly raced 8yo who has had only three starts over fences and he won here (2m6f, good to firm) in November before being brought down at Ludlow (3-1 favourite) the following month; now steps back up in trip but he was strong at the finish on his penultimate run and should have more to offer in this sphere; key player.

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced maiden; good second in both handicap attempts, latest at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) on chase/seasonal debut; appears to have a race of this nature in him; respected despite another 3lb rise.

T: Ben Pauling

Gained back-to-back handicap wins last winter (2m/2m2f, soft/good to soft) and a number of the fences were omitted when he was third at Fontwell, which wouldn't have played to his strengths; absent since clearly not giving his running at Kelso in March; returns from a break with his yard having winners; respected.

Won two in a row this winter (2m/2m2f, soft/good to soft) and a number of the fences were omitted when he was third at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) latest, which wouldn't have played to his strengths; solid claims.

Form & Verdict
Successful in similar event on good ground at Hereford (back from a break) last month; all wins over 2m but has form at 2m4f; still favourably treated despite going back up 5lb; major player in a weak field.

7-30 over fences; no win last year but ran creditably twice in the autumn before seemingly reluctant to put his best foot forward in the Abaya Du Mathan race at Southwell on latest start; chance if putting that swiftly behind him.
