Age: 6|  Weight: 11-4| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR:  138
5/1
Useful handicap hurdler who registered a fifth success over hurdles when winning at Sandown in early december. Pulled up at Chepstow since but hails from a top yard and leading contender on chase debut.
2
Horse silk
Aurillacb141
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-4| J: J J Burke| T: Miss R Curtis| OR:  137
11/4
Placed on all four chase starts including finishing runner-up the last twice. Stays well and likely to have no issues with underfoot conditions.
3
Horse silk
Chef D'Oeuvrep17
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-4| J: G Sheehan| T: W Greatrex| OR:  130
15/8
Dual winning hurdler who finished a promising fourth in a listed event over 3m in first time cheekpieces at Warwick last month and he looks likely to run well again here.
4
Horse silk
Dig Deeper22
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-4| J: T Scudamore| T: Mrs Caroline Bailey| OR:  135
9/2
Point-to-point winner who's shaped well when finishing runner-up on all three chase starts to date including behind a useful rival on return from a 13 month absence here last month.
5
Horse silk
25/1
Useful hurdler but disappointing when pulled up on chase debut in a handicap at Uttoxeter last month and needs to put that run behind him upped in trip for this.
6
Horse silk
200/1
Maiden veteran, well beaten on chase debut at Exeter in October and no obvious chance here.
7
Horse silk
Sage Monkeyt21
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-4| J: Jake Greenall| T: Kerry Lee
66/1
Placed in point-to-points in Ireland but well beaten on all three chase outings including twice here and he is likely to be better suited to handicaps.
8
Horse silk
Weststreet32
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-4| J: L P Aspell| T: O Sherwood| OR:  125
14/1
Successful on his final outing over hurdles at Bangor in March but well beaten in a handicap on chasing bow at Newbury last month and a bit to find with a few of these on ratings.

Forecasts

Chef D'Oeuvre (15/8), Aurillac (11/4), Dig Deeper (9/2), Arctic Gold (5/1), Weststreet (14/1), Goodbye Dancer (25/1), Sage Monkey (66/1), Granit Man (200/1)

Verdict

ARCTIC GOLD can put a disappointing effort over hurdles last time out behind him by making a successful chasing debut in this competitive beginners event. The selection represents a leading yard with a good conditional jockey taking the ride and he is taken to see of today's rivals with serial placer Aurillac and Chef D'Oeuvre likely to prove best of the rest. 1. Arctic Gold 2. Aurillac 3. Chef D'oeuvre
