Paddy Power Broken Resolutions Already Dipper Novices' Chase (Grade 2)

Off time: 13:25 | Winning time: 5m 30.97s

Champ³³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: B J Geraghty| T: N J Henderson| OR: 153| D

4/9

Highly exciting prospect who is unbeaten in two starts over fences, landing a Grade 2 at Newbury last time out. That success was far from straightforward but there's every chance he will carry on progressing over the larger obstacles.

Form: 1121-11

Deyrann de Carjac³³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: A King| OR: 146| D

7/1

Won his first two starts over fences but seemingly put in his place by re-opposing Champ at Newbury last time out. 5lb better off at the weights but must improve to have hopes of reversing form.

Form: 225-113

Garo De Juilley^t¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: P J Brennan| T: Mrs S Leech| OR: 134

33/1

Has run some fair races over fences without getting his head in front but looks completely out of his depth in this line up.

Form: 0-292P4

Matfog^h1,t1⁴⁰

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: James Reveley| T: A Chaille-Chaille

20/1

Listed winner over fences in France. Given too much to do at Compiegne last time out and has to improve to be considered for win purposes but it would be no major surprise if he was involved for minor honours here.

Form: 112514

Midnight Shadow³⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-0| J: Danny Cook| T: J Parkinson & S Smith| OR: 150| C

4/1

Dual Grade 2 winner over hurdles including the Relkeel on this card last year. Showed improvement over fences at Haydock last time out when stepped up in trip and versatile with regards to ground conditions.

Form: 110-3F2

Paint The Dream^t²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: C Brace| T: F O'Brien| OR: 130

20/1

Unseated on debut over fences but posted a more encouraging effort at Sandown last time out, despite still making jumping errors. However, he has a lot more on his plate against these rivals.

Form: 521-8U2

Forecasts

Champ (4/9), Midnight Shadow (4/1), Deyrann de Carjac (7/1), Paint The Dream (20/1), Matfog (20/1), Garo De Juilley (33/1)

CHAMP could be hard to beat following his Graded success at Newbury last time out given that plenty didn't go his way that day. Midnight Shadow could be the main threat to the selection given that he's already proved himself to be at this level over hurdles at least. Deyrann de Carjac and French raider Matfog complete the shortlist
