14/1

Bumper winner on good-to-soft ground in December 2014. Good third on return from well over 18 months off the track at Fontwell (good-to-soft) in February but not built on that in two subsequent starts. Debuting over fences in this event.

Forecasts

Sir Egbert (2/1), Leskinfere (5/1), Air Navigator (7/1), Monbeg Aquadude (7/1), Absolute Power (8/1), Cesar Collonges (8/1), Overworkdunderpaid (14/1), Gone Platinum (14/1), Robinsson (14/1), Fawsley Spirit (14/1)

AIR NAVIGATOR is taken to make a winning chase and handicap debut in this competitive handicap event. .Tom George's charge placed over hurdles last time and can see off Gone Platinum who can put a disappointing latest effort behind him to finish runner-up while third place can go the way of Fawsley Spirit who is making his debut over fences.
