Age: 7|  Weight: 11-8| J: James Best| T: N P Mulholland| OR:  131
10/1
Prone to jumping errors but capable if putting in a clear round. Yard's runners have been going well recently and still early days for the horse at this stable. May be more to come.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-7| J: M G Nolan| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR:  130
8/1
More unexposed than plenty of these but has made jumping errors in the past and that must be a concern on chase debut.

Favorito Buck'sp1,t42
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-4| J: Nick Scholfield| T: P F Nicholls| OR:  132
14/1
Won a valuable Listed contest in France but presumably had his problems and well-being to prove after an uninspiring comeback run.

Age: 8|  Weight: 11-2| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: N J Hawke| OR:  125
16/1
Been dropped to a more realistic handicap mark but he's a sketchy jumper and probably wants softer ground. Others preferred.

Horse silk
Wild West Windt270
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-0| J: Adrian Heskin| T: T R George| OR:  123
4/1
Looks like a natural chaser and provided he can overcome a break he should go close. Handicap mark looks fair.
6
Horse silk
Clondaw Banker22
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-0| J: J McGrath| T: N J Henderson| OR:  123
9/2
Has been a disappointing favourite on several occasions but finally got off the mark over a similar trip at Sandown. However, he's failed to back that up and often has a starting price that overestimates his chance.
7
Horse silk
Bagging Turf12
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-9| J: A Glassonbury| T: G & J Moore| OR:  118
4/1
Exciting prospect and won well on return to action at the end of December. Yard do well with their young chasers and she should go close if this doesn't come too soon.
8

Third Act39
Age: 8|  Weight: 10-3| J: H Cobden(3)| T: C L Tizzard| OR:  110
4/1
No certainty to stay this trip and best efforts have come over 2m on softer ground.

Forecasts

Wild West Wind (4/1), Third Act (4/1), Bagging Turf (4/1), Clondaw Banker (9/2), Draytonian (8/1), Pilgrims Bay (10/1), Favorito Buck's (14/1), Greybougg (16/1)

Verdict

WILD WEST WIND looks like the type to take to the larger obstacles and he's an uncomplicated type, so could be tough to beat. Sole mare in the line-up, Bagging Turf should go close provided this run doesn't come too soon. If Pilgrims Bay can put in a clear round of jumping he looks capable of grabbing a place off top weight. 1. Wild West Wind 2. Bagging Turf 3. Pilgrims Bay
