4/1

Victorious by 13L in a 2m5f handicap chase at Hereford (good) last week. Impressive winner that day and looks likely to play a leading role under a 7lb penalty.

8/1

Beaten 9½L when sixth in a 2m1f handicap chase at Listowel (good) last month. Changed stables since and market support would be notable in this contest.

Age: 7| Weight: 10-8| J: David Noonan| T: N J Hawke| OR: 107

Forecasts

Robinshill (5/2), King Alfonso (3/1), Field Exhibition (4/1), Truckers Highway (9/2), Successor (8/1), Cesar Collonges (8/1), Heart Of Kernow (10/1)

A competitive looking handicap chase that can go the way of top weight FIELD EXHIBITION who impressed when winning at Hereford recently. King Alfonso is bidding to complete a hat-trick and he can finish runner-up having won a claiming event recently while third place can go to Truckers Highway who is another to have won on his most recent start.
