Be Wiser Insurance Handicap Chase

Rattled off a hat-trick a couple of seasons ago but not been seen in the same type of form since. Pulled-up after going off favourite last time and doesn't look like the most trust worthy individual. First-time cheekpieces reached for and drop back in trip will suit so not completely dismissed from a workable mark.

Shot up the handicap after running out a clear winner at Market Rasen in November and accordingly struggled with the extra weight here two starts back. Back down to a workable mark now but yard (who won this last year) have been quiet and didn't show enough in his run at Leicester last time (when finishing a tailed off fourth) to warrant serious consideration here.

Been in good form this season and made it four wins from five course starts at Leicester last time. Looks on an upward curve at present and 8lb rise looks workable having beaten the majority of that field with a degree of comfort. Proven in the conditions and plenty to like about his chances.

Prevailed narrowly on comeback run at the start of the season but well beaten in three starts since. Form of his sole win doesn't look the strongest on offer and he may want better ground than what he'll get here.

Largely disappointing since Doncaster win around this time last year and jumping frailties there for all to see on his last few starts. Absence to overcome and unproven over this trip so others preferred on yard debut.

Some good chasing form back in 2014 but jumped poorly in hat-trick bid that year, eventually unseating his rider. Not seen until comeback run over hurdles at Cheltenham at the end of January and again wasn't all too fluent over his obstacles. May well have needed that run and trip was insufficient but needs to prove he's the force of old and fences here are enough of a test so passed over this time.

Back down to last winning mark but he's been disappointing this season, tailed off on his last three starts. Possibly not the same since heavy fall at Ludlow in December. Chance if he bounces back but he looks better on faster ground than what he's likely to get here.

Took advantage of a reduced mark last time when runaway winner at Stratford and he's probably good value for his 7lb penalty. This looks a tougher contest but the yard could hardly be in better form and he's very well-handicapped on his old form. Every chance if returning in the same form.

Just one win to his name coming in a bumper at Fairyhouse back in 2013. Tailed off or failed to finish on five starts for this yard so hard to envisage him coming back to form here, especially when taking his fall into account last time.
