The lightly-raced Masked Man tops the betting for Saturday's Wasdell Group Silver Trophy Handicap Hurdle at Chepstow.
Trained by in-form partnership Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies for owners Simon Munir & Isaac Souede, the five-year-old has Grade 2-placed form from Haydock last season and was last seen finishing ninth in the top-class Mersey Novices' Hurdle at Aintree in April.
Masked Man, who is the antepost 4/1 favourite with Paddy Power and Sky Bet, won on hurdling debut at the opening Chepstow meeting 12 months ago and looks set for a return to the track for this weekend's feature, where he could face the progressive Daylatedollarshort for trainer Olly Murphy.
Runner-up at the Punchestown Festival in the spring, Daylatedollarshort is one of three 7/1 co-second favourites alongside Pioneer Pete and Wellington Arch, with Glynn Brae, Melon and Dan Skelton's The Mighty Celt next in the market at 8/1.
