9/4
Has looked too high in the handicap to prove effective over hurdles of late so encouraging to see him switched back to fences, in what seems an easier assignment than when finishing third in September.

3/1
Very disappointing over hurdles at Exeter last time out but that 2m1f trip is probably short enough for him given he won a point-to-point over 3m. Of interest up in trip.

Age: 8|  Weight: 11-3| J: Adam Wedge| T: Alexandra Dunn| OR:  91
7/2
0/11 over fences but has proven frustrating over hurdles of late. Probably worth a try given his best form in chases came over these sorts of trips, but still difficult to build a case for.

9/1
Pulled up on return at Fontwell last time but may have needed the run; signed off last season with a comprehensive victory in a minor event at Huntingdon and holds minor claims on that form in first time blinkers.

14/1
Made a promising start to his chase career but quickly regressed and hasn't finished within 20L of a winner in a chase since April 2015.

Pulled up on her two most recent starts having won at Uttoxeter in May. Far from the most consistent but would be well treated if able to produce her best form.

0/9 under rules with her better efforts having come both over shorter and with some give in the ground. Difficult to recommend here, therefore.

Forecasts

Generous Chief (9/4), Leg Lock Luke (3/1), Royal Chief (7/2), Bredon Hill Lad (7/2), Mrsrobin (7/1), Benability (9/1), Jump And Jump (11/1), It's A Steal (14/1)

Verdict

It may be worth siding with LEG LOCK LUKE stepping back up to this trip over fences. Now his temperament appears to have improved he can make the most of the stamina he has shown he possesses when winning a point-to-point over 3m, and put some sub-par efforts behind him, many of which came over an insufficient trip. Generous Chief switching back to fences and Benability in first time blinkers can provide the main threats.
  1. Leg Lock Luke
  2. Generous Chief
  3. Benability
