M Hiorns Building Contractor Ltd Handicap Chase

In fine form when last seen with latest form figures reading 21211. Followed up a chase win with an easy hurdle win at Fakenham in November but she does have an absence to overcome and she's 17lb higher than his latest chase win at Huntingdon.

Yet to win in 12 starts for this yard and he's been a beaten favourite on his last four starts, failing to even place. On a very lenient mark and proven on all sorts of ground but his recent form is very disappointing and his jumping has been poor. Cheekpieces reapplied.

Has managed to put a few runs together this year having only been seen twice in 2016 and he was only narrowly denied at Southwell last time. His strike-rate of two wins from 19 starts is poor (won chase start in the stewards room) but he looks well handicapped now and should be capable of getting back on the scoreboard off this sort of mark.

One win from 12 starts and pulled up on chase debut at Lingfield last time. Best form has come on softer ground and he has a significant break to overcome.

Not won since a Novice Chase success but rated nearly two stone below that now. Not shown any signs that he's about to return to form in three starts this year and first-time tongue-tie and first-time cheekpieces now reached for.

Eight-race maiden under rules who looks limited as far as ability is concerned. Fifth of seven over C&D last time and beaten 32L so hard to fancy in this sphere (has won in point-to-points).

Useful on his day but regressing now and looking a little long in the tooth. Best efforts always came with cut in the ground and he's opposable in his current mood.
