6/5
Useful hurdler but taken a while to get his act together over fences. Winner at Market Rasen over 2m3f on good ground the last twice however and one for the shortlist following a couple of impressive successes.

Useful hurdler and placed over fences at Plumpton in January. Well held in a Grade 2 contest at Haydock (2m4f, soft) next time out and a similar story over hurdles the last twice. Wears cheekpieces for the first time on his return to fences here.

50/1
Best effort in six point-to-point starts came when 19L fourth of five over 2m5f at Kingston Blount (good) in May. Placed in a bumper from two starts and likely to struggle on his second start for this yard.

Verdict

WORK IN PROGRESS has defeated a couple of useful rivals when making all the running the last twice at Market Rasen and he can complete a hat-trick by taking this five runner novice chase. Forever Field, a winner at the third time of asking over fences at Worcester last time can chase the selection home here ahead of Solatentif who has cheekpieces fitted for the first time and who put in a good effort on chasing debut in January.
  1. Work In Progress
