Form & Verdict
Opened his hurdles account here (2m1f, heavy) three weeks ago when 7lb lower and rider took off 10lb; this looks a harder task but he can't be dismissed in current form; non-stayer over 3m1f on sole chase run; declared 4:32 Lingfield Tuesday.

J: Tom Bellamy

T: Dominic Elsworth

Bumper/hurdle winner who goes well on slow ground; he returned to fences at Hereford two weeks ago and looked booked for second when falling late on; has a chance off 1lb lower.

J: Tom Bellamy

T: Dominic Elsworth

Mud lover who suffered big defeats both starts over fences for Jonjo O'Neill; couldn't land a gamble on his fourth outing for this yard when second of eight over hurdles at Ffos Las (2m, heavy) last month; suitability for chasing and this trip unproven but weighted to be competitive.

Form & Verdict
Hacked up in similar event at Lingfield (2m, heavy; fifth chase start) two weeks ago, producing his best performance and opening his account; the manner of that win suggests he'll cope with going back up 10lb; commands respect.

Three places and 59l ahead of Betty's Tiara over C&D last week (good), though still well held himself and simply isn't coming very close at present to recording a first win beyond 2m1f; 5lb badly in compared to future mark.

Form & Verdict
Stablemate of Flamelco; had wind surgery prior to Plumpton defeat (beaten 10l) last month when taking record to 0-8; consistent spell culminated in a close second here (2m3f, heavy; chase debut) in November and that form puts him in the picture.

Form & Verdict
Won over hurdles in France; 0-7 in Britain and mixed record (F3P2) since switched to fences but ran respectably here (2m3f, heavy) most recently while shaping as if this return to shorter will prove ideal; possibilities off same mark.

Flamelco

Has three wins over fences, including one over C&D; 2lb lower than for his last win at Plumpton last April but has been below his best on his last three starts, the latest when tailed off over hurdles.

Flamelco

J: Tom Cannon

T: Sarah Humphrey

Gained a third chase win last season at Plumpton (2m1f) in April but went too freely when last of three in 2m Huntingdon handicap chase the following month; it would come as no surprise to see him bounce back after a break here though.

9/4

Verdict

On the back of a very easy success at Lingfield, DOYOUKNOWWHATIMEAN (nap) gets the vote. Flamelco, who should benefit from the drop back in trip, is second choice.[Steve Boow]
