J: Sean Bowen

T: Olly Murphy

10yo who was very useful in his prime and won two hunter chases early this year; tailed off over the National fences at Aintree when last seen but he could be a contender back in a handicap on his reappearance.

Very talented in his prime; this 10yo isn't the force of old and today's race is much tougher than the hunter chases he's won easily on his last two starts (2m4f, good to soft/good) but if he can tap further into his back-class he may well be in the mix; James King has won this twice.

Listed winner in his prime and has made a solid start to hunter chasing, namely a close second and easy success at Wincanton; should follow up.

Powers were on the decline when confined to hurdling last season but he was a classy chaser back in the day and nearly won his first hunter chase over 3m1f here a month ago (heavy); may need that longer trip now but strong claims otherwise.

J: Mr James King

T: Olly Murphy

Very smart chaser at his best but his powers were on the decline when confined to hurdling all last season, and his comeback run at Newbury was forgettable; returns to fences for hunter chase debut and hard to be confident.
