In good form back in the autumn when winning two of his three outings. Unseated ride two from homer when narrowly headed at Wetherby in December and races off a 1lb lower mark than when finishing at 35L fourth at Haydock last time out.

Rattled off a hat-trick in 2017 including when winning by 5L at Haydock over an extended 2m4f last time out. Has also won at Warwick and Towcester this season and races off a mark 6lb higher than for her most recent victory in this.

Beaten ¾L when runner-up in a three runner novice chase at Doncaster on soft ground a month ago. Makes handicap debut over fences here and has placed off a 1lb lower mark over hurdles in the past.

Not beaten far in each of his last three outings. Most recent of those came when third of seven over an extended 2m at Newbury last month. Was sent off favourite on that occasion and likely to run well once more off a 1lb lower mark.

Winner of a novice handicap hurdle off a 5lb lower mark 13 months ago. Disappointing in the main since then however and beaten 53L in first time cheekpieces (left off here) over hurdles last time out. Makes chasing debut in this.

5/1
Returned from over 18 months off the track in 2017 and improving with each run. Finished runner-up when beaten 1¾L on soft ground at Leicester alst time out but stays much further than today's 2m4f (won over an extended 3m2f in the past) and interesting to see how he fares following a 7lb raise here.

Forecasts

Greybougg (2/1), Buttercup (2/1), Allthegear No Idea (5/1), Allbarnone (8/1), Palm Grey (9/1), Bingo D'Olivate (14/1)

Verdict

BUTTERCUP has been in good form recently and can register her fourth victory in succession by claiming this novices handicap chase. The selection won over an extended 2m4f last time out and should handle this better ground. Of her rivals it may well fall to Greybougg to follow her home having finished third at Newbury last month while Palm Grey can put a disappointing effort behind him last time out by taking third.
  1. Buttercup
  2. Greybougg
  3. Palm Grey
