9/1
Failed to finish in three of his last four starts, unseating rider when held last twice. Won Uttoxeter in July off 3lb lower mark and has something to prove at present.

Beat subsequent 2018 Champion Hurdle fifth Elgin in Aintree bumper in November 2016 but very lightly raced since. Pulled up after 3 out at Newbury in December on chasing bow on first start for 663 days. Will strip fitter now and could go very well.

Fine return to fray after 16 month absence when winning Bangor h'cap chase in November off 7lb lower mark. Disappointing last two starts but may not have stayed 3m penultimate run. Chance if back to his best.

6/4
Went close penultimate start before won with authority recently at Catterick. 7lb penalty to carry here but clearly in fine fettle and should give another good account of himself off bottom weight.

Forecasts

Away For Slates (6/4), Cruiseaweigh (13/8), Thyne For Gold (3/1), Mont Royale (9/1)

Verdict

With the Tom George yard in good form in recent weeks (6-25) a chance is taken that CRUISEAWEIGH can leave behind his pulled up effort last time when returning from a lengthy asbence. The step up in trip should help and he can reward his connections' patience. Away For Slates is in fine fettle and should make another bold bid getting weight all round, while Thyne For Gold is not out of it on his form of earlier this term. Mont Royale looks up against it on recent form.
