Dual winner over hurdles including by 5L at Kempton (2m5f, soft) in March. Well beaten in Grade 1 company on final start of last season and is one for the shortlist on chase and handicap debut.
Completed a double when winning a novice hurdle at Fontwell (2m3f, soft) by 2L in April. Ran well when fourth in a 2m3f novices' handicap on chase debut at Ascot (good) earlier this month and can go well once more.
Placed in a heavy ground novice hurdle over an extended 2m4f here in April. Well beaten at Cheltenham later that month and is an interesting contender on chase debut.
Heavy ground handicap hurdle winner at Taunton (2m3f) in April but disappointed in a match race at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) on chase debut last month and fell early on at Carlisle subsequently.
Forecasts
Larry (7/4), Chosen Path (15/8), Mister Malarky (4/1), Risk And Roll (9/2)
CHOSEN PATH represents a stable with a 17% strike-rate (9/52) of late and he looks capable of making a winning chase debut in this small field contest. Larry ran well for a long way when debuting in this sphere last time out and he can finish runner-up ahead of Mister Malarky who is making his seasonal debut.
