  • Win: £1.50

Form: 1981-2 D

Last run: 30 days

W: 11st 5lb

7 yo Gelding

OR: 134

Form & Verdict
The highest rated of these over hurdles (by some margin) and progressed well last season; unsuited by the drop to 2m on chase debut at Uttoxeter (good) but only just failed to reel in a respected rival; should be hard to beat on these terms with a clear round.

Made good progress over hurdles last season (three wins) and opened chasing account last month, making all in three-runner novice at Warwick (2m4f, good); remains on a good mark and today's slower ground ought to suit him better; major player.

Form & Verdict
Flat background (useful) so not bred for fences but he progressed nicely over hurdles last season, finishing third in the competitive Morebattle Handicap at Kelso (2m, good to soft); will need to be on his game for him to beat Rambo T on these terms.

Form & Verdict
Both wins have been here, a bumper (good to soft) and 2m3f novice hurdle on soft; fully entitled to make a better chaser but has the lowest BHA mark in this field and he's twice been withdrawn this year on account of good ground being deemed too fast.

Both wins (bumper and novice hurdle) have been at Warwick, where he was a creditable last of three in a beginners' chase six weeks ago; unexposed, in his second handicap and stepping up from 2m4f; can't be dismissed.
