Matchbook Betting Podcast Novices' Limited Handicap Chase

Interrupted career of late and not the easiest to win with but proven on soft ground at least and yard's runners always respected around here.

Switched to chasing after a hurdling campaign that came up a little short of what was expected and he was poor at Newbury when last seen. Has run okay here before, though jockey has only recorded one winner over obstacles and this gelding has temperament issues.

Easy winner in France in October before joining current yard and trainer does well with his French recruits. Placed effort last time at Haydock shows he's progressing and he'll be suited by softer conditions.

Showed a good attitude when winning at Uttoxeter but never got going at Wincanton last time. He's better than that though others may be better handicapped.

Impressive start to his career and returned to form last time out after several disappointing efforts. Looks on a fair mark but prone to jumping errors so one to treat with caution.

Point-to-point winner who has shaped well on last couple of starts over hurdles. Still unexposed and in receipt of weight all round so could run well, particularly if softer conditions suit.
