G C Rickards Chase (Novices' Limited Handicap)

Still early days over fences and fell at Hereford two starts back. Better last time when third of seven at Sandown. Looks on a feasible mark but quicker ground has to be a slight concern.

Has made a promising start to his chase career and proven on faster ground as seen with his win at Kempton over 2m5f last year. Can make the occasional jumping error but he gives the impression he's still on a workable handicap mark.

Has been struggling since returning from a lengthy break and hasn't been competitive in a race since 2014. Hard to fancy until he shows some signs that his old spark his still there.

Often highly tried in races like this but no realistic chance of winning and will be relying on the mistakes of others to get anywhere near having not got competitive in any of his races so far in his career.
