Attheraces Sky 415 Handicap Chase

Will certainly find this easier than taking on the Grand National last time, where she completed without ever threatening, and although likely conditions should suit, the yard are still very quiet at present and others are preferred.

Useful over hurdles and has translated that ability over fences too, winning three of his eight starts so far. Jumped well when taking a Fontwell handicap latest and only raised 2lb for that. Every chance of following up if in same frame of mind.

Nothing if not consistent and not out of the first two on last six starts, and has won last two over fences with a bit in hand. Can carry head high but it doesn't stop him and if getting the extra quarter mile, should get involved again.

Was stepped up in trip at Taunton last time and it seemed to bring about a bit more improvement in him, winning well from the in-form William Money. Likeable type has been raised 8lb for that but will still make a bold bid from the front.

Won back-to-back handicaps at Wincanton last autumn but recent form has taken a nosedive, failing to complete at both Ludlow and Cheltenham recently. Plenty to prove after those defeats and others readily preferred.

Pops up from time to time and almost caught Abracadabra Sivola at Taunton two starts back, going down half a length. Not so good at Kempton latest, showing a less than enthusiastic attitude at times. Not out of it from this mark, but comes with risks attached.

Has plenty of talent but hard to win with, as a record of 1-12 in chases so far shows. Better effort at Chepstow latest when a staying-on third to Minellacelebration (winner again since) but goes up in trip again, asking a new question of him. Not dismisssed but others hold better claims.

Classy sort once upon a time for Willie Mullins but has fallen a long way since then, although did get on the scoresheet at Plumpton two starts ago. Never showed much enthusiasm at Fakenham last time though and needs to find more here.
