4/9

Winner of three of his seven starts under Rules including a novices' handicap chase over an extended 2m7f at Newbury (soft) in December. Successful by a neck that day and looks likely to prove hard to beat in this contest.

Form: U318-31

13/8

Winner off a mark of 128 over hurdles at Ludlow (3m, good-to-soft) in April. Failed to build on a promising 14L fourth in a Grade 2 over an extended 2m7f at Newbury (soft) on chase debut when well held at Chepstow last time out however.

Form: 501F-45

Forecasts

Chosen Path (4/9), Skipthecuddles (13/8)

CHOSEN PATH looks capable of conceding weight to his sole rival in this two runner novices' chase. The selection has shown good form over fences so far and can see off Skipthecuddles who proved a disappointment on his most recent chase outing.
