Dual hurdles winner here and recorded a decent effort in finishing 14½L eighth in a 3m handicap hurdle at Newbury (good-to-soft) at the end of last month. Interesting runner on chase debut off a mark 6lb higher than for his most recent success.

Handicap chase winner in first time blinkers (retained since) over 3m at Exeter (good) in October and put a pulled up over the same C&D behind him when fourth on soft ground here earlier this month. More needed in this contest however.

Forecasts

Dominateur (11/4), Clondaw Anchor (3/1), Samburu Shujaa (3/1), Another Emotion (6/1), Ocean Cove (15/2), Golden Sunrise (8/1)

DOMINATEUR showed good form in winning last time out and he is taken to follow up that victory with a success in this small field novices' handicap chase. The selection can get the better of top weight Clondaw Anchor who looks capable of claiming second spot ahead of Samburu Shujaa who is making his chase debut having won twice over hurdles here in the past.
