Made all to score over further at Catterick last week for today's rider. Penalty to carry for that win but had plenty in hand and looks set to run another big race.
Venetia Williams' charge gets away with a small hike in the weights for a good effort over similar trip at Kempton last month. Entitled to be on the premises if repeating that run.
Off the mark for this yard at Chepstow in November and just denied the follow-up at Leicester on the first day of the month. More weight to carry now but clearly on good enough terms with himself to be a threat.
Outran his odds at Sandown earlier this month and that form has been boosted since. Two-time winner on the flat in Ireland, could pocket a race like this.
Often-raced type with a poor striker rate over jumps. Nothing in his recent form to suggest he is about to find the target again.
Forecasts
Vocaliser (9/4), Un Prophete (11/4), Danceintothelight (9/2), Goal (7/1), Apache Outlaw (7/1), Bobble Boru (12/1), Catchin Time (25/1)
The form of Vocaliser's recent Sandown run has been well advertised with the front two both winning next time out. He merits a good deal of respect but preference is for Venetia Williams' UN PROPHETE, up the minimum for a good runner-up finish at Kempton last month. Danceintothelight will be a danger to all if allowed to dictate from the front while Shark Hanlon's raider Apache Outlaw should improve on last month's Cork effort.
1. Un Prophete
2. Vocaliser
3. Danceintothelight
