Good ground or better look to be the key to this one producing his best and he's won three chases under those circumstances and finished a sound second off this mark last time out at Cheltenham. Conditions look ideal here and he's very much a player.

Has looked rather unreliable on the past but looks to have turned over a new leaf of late over fences and hurdles. Completed a hurdles/chase hat-trick here last time out off a higher hurdles mark. Should still be a competitive off a mark of 111 now back over fences at a course he acts well around.

4/1
Has always gone well fresh and scored in a well-paced hat-trick from March-October last year with the first two wins coming over C&D. Back from a break last time out at Haydock she was well held and the yard are struggling for winners of late.

9/2
Possibility that this trip may stretch him although he did run respectably last time out at Exeter returning from six-months off. Others looks stronger stayers here and he could be found wanting in the closing stages.

Forecasts

Riddlestown (15/8), Better Days (15/8), Upbeat Cobbler (4/1), Tom Neary (9/2), Financial Climate (9/2)

Verdict

With Financial Climate looking to be struggling, stamina doubts about Tom Neary and Upbeat Cobbler looking a little out of form (so is the stable) this looks to boil down to a match between BETTER DAYS and Riddlestown. The former is just preferred of the two although there might not be much in it In the race itself.
  1. Better Days
  2. Riddlestown
  3. Tom Neary
