Placed in point-to-point's and signs of ability when third at Huntingdon in March 2015. Returned from nearly 16 months off the track in a handicap chase at Huntingdon last month where a badly early error cost him (eventually pulled up) and plenty to prove in a first time hood here.
Often comes off the bridle early on and that was the case again when falling at Towcester last time out. Rated 2lb lower than for his latest success but likely to find one or two too good again here.
Easy winner over C&D on her penultimate outing but well beaten when turning out over 2m5f at Hereford a week later. Return to this trip looks likely to suit and has a promising looking conditional taking 7lb off.
Visor (replaced by cheekpieces for penultimate outing) returned when successful at Towcester last time out on heavy ground. Has been put up 6lb by the handicapper for his latest success and interesting to see how he fares off his revised mark.
Likes to race prominently and did so when victorious in a four runner contest at Fontwell last month. That probably not the strongest of races and veteran may struggle to defy a 5lb rise here.
Failed to complete on three starts for this yard including when falling (looked in trouble) behind Magical Man on his latest outing at Towcester. Only had three runs over fences however and market support would be interesting.
Finished well behind Matrow's Lady over C&D last time out at the end of January and not much promise in three other starts since moving to this yard for the 2016/17 season and probably best watched at present.
Forecasts
Matrow's Lady (9/4), Goring One (10/3), Magical Man (7/2), Veauce De Sivola (9/2), Cheat The Cheater (10/1), Letter Exit (10/1), Away Down West (50/1)
MATROW'S LADY can register a third success over fences by taking this competitive looking handicap chase. The selection was the easy winner of her penultimate outing over C&D here in January and with a decent conditional taking 7lb off can get the better of Magical Man who was successful at Towcester last time out while Cheat The Cheater who is often doing his best work late on having dropped himself out can stay on for third.
