16/1
Debut winner over 2m1f in a Carlisle (soft) bumper in October 2014. Had just six starts since and disappointed twice so far in 2017. Others make more appeal in this.

15/2
Three times a winner including on debut for this yard off a 10lb higher mark in a novice handicap hurdle at Carlisle (good-to-soft) over an extended 2m3f in March 2016. Out of form recently over hurdles and worth a check in the market on chasing debut.

7/2
Point-to-point runner-up in April 2016 but shown little under rules so far including when 26L third of six over an extended 2m3f at Sedgefield (good) on chasing debut last month. Worth a check in the market on handicap debut.

15/2
Winner of one of his 19 hurdles starts and improved on recent form when finishing third of six beaten 1½L off this mark on chasing debut over an extended 2m at Worcester (soft) last month. Interesting if repeating that effort.

7/4
Registered his first win over fences at the third attempt when winning a nine runner race at Southwell (good) over this distance last time out. Races off a 4lb higher mark and has won off a higher mark over hurdles in the past.

7/2
Maiden after 16 starts but ran well from over a stone out of the handicap when finishing 9L second at Stratford (good-to-soft) in first time blinkers (retained) last time out and interesting to see if they work for a second time here.

Forecasts

Murray Mount (7/4), Whos De Baby (7/2), Zolfo (7/2), Don Franco (4/1), More Than Luck (9/2), Bold Duke (15/2), Bruce Almighty (15/2), Becauseshesaidso (16/1)

Verdict

MURRAY MOUNT was successful over fences last time out and can follow up by taking this novices handicap chase for trainer Henry Oliver. The selection has won off a higher mark in the past and can get the better of Bruce Almighty who has won off a higher mark over hurdles while Bold Duke can claim third having filled the same position last time out.
  1. Murray Mount
  2. Bruce Almighty
  3. Bold Duke
