Form over hurdles in two starts last month puts him right in the mix if taking to fences.
Hasn't shown a great deal in two starts over fences but old form over hurdles suggests he could yet have more to offer.
Regressing over hurdles since Fontwell success in November 2015, hard to fancy on chase debut.
Winner at Lingfield two starts ago and fair effort latest here over Christmas, entitled to have his say in the finish.
Remote fourth at Ludlow before Christmas on second chase start, needs to find something extra to trouble the judge.
Below expectations on chase bow at Sandown in November when last of three finishers over 2m4f, not one to write off just yet.
Thriving round here, recording a pair of straightforward wins last month over 2m4f last month. Up in ratings and trip now but may still be a step ahead of the handicapper.
Forecasts
Ten Sixty (3/1), Wilberdragon (9/2), Hedley Lamarr (9/2), Oliver's Hill (5/1), Go West Young Man (13/2), Authorized Too (8/1), Bells 'n' Banjos (10/1)
There was a lot to like about the way OLIVER'S HILL secured his course double last month and while he has been raised for those efforts, he could well have more up his sleeve still. Authorized Too ran a fair race here over Christmas and warrants respect while Ten Sixty can be a player if taking to chasing after some solid efforts over flights, including course success last month. Wilberdragon was a shade disappointing at Sandown but is given another chance to make progress at this discipline.
1. Oliver's Hill
2. Authorized Too
3. Ten Sixty
