25/1

Struggled over hurdles including off a mark of 86 at Exeter (2m1f, good-to-firm) last month. Making his chase debut and plenty to find with his rivals on hurdles form.

Form: 8F40-90

11/10

Completed a double in winning over an extended 2m5f at Wincanton (firm) in October. Well beaten fourth in a Grade 2 novice chase there recently but this looks a much weaker contest.

Form: 488114

4/5

Dual hurdles winner in early 2017 but struggled in the main this year and finished well beaten on chase debut at Hereford (2m5f, good-to-firm) earlier this month. Likely to fare better int his contest.

Form: 2953-57

Forecasts

Night Of Sin (4/5), Full (11/10), Diablerets (25/1)

FULL has plenty of chase experience to his name and he is taken to put that to good use to take this three runner novices' chase. The selection can get the better of Night Of Sin who contested a handicap on chase debut last time while Diablerets can finish third on his debut over the larger obstacles.
