In good form of late winning three of his last five starts including by 14L in a 3m handicap hurdle at Southwell (good) last time out. Raised 9lb for that victory and looks likely to run well once more.

Stepped up on his seasonal debut effort when finishing 10L second in a 2m7f handicap chase at Worcester (good) last time out. Worth a check in the market racing off a 6lb lower mark on his return to hurdling.

Good 1L third over an extended 2m7f at Chepstow (good-to-soft) in November. Pulled up over fences subsequently and is worth a check in the market on return from a break.

Forecasts

Verdict

SCOOP THE POT showed signs of a return to form when placed over fences last time out and this step up in trip is a positive on his return to hurdles. The selection has won over just short of this trip in the past and he can register a fourth hurdles victory on this occasion. Second place can go to top weight Theatrebar who was a winner last time out while third place can go to last years winner Timeforben who finished a good third last time out.
