Back from an absence and showing benefit of wind operation with decisive win in Ludlow Beginners' Chase (2m4f, soft, good to soft) in December. More on his plate now but could well build on that score.
Found the favourite too strong in three-runner Beginners' Chase over 2m6f here last month, will have to improve significantly given this duo are rated higher than the pair he faced that afternoon.
Lightly-raced sort, graded winner over timber last season; placed in all three starts over fences thus far and has faced some decent rivals. Stamina untested over this far but should stay.
Forecasts
Southfield Stone (10/11), Espoir De Teillee (2/1), Mahlervous (4/1)
Mahlervous ran well here last time but faces a more stern test of his credentials and may need to improve as such. Southfield Stone has been placed in all three starts over fences thus far and should go well again for a trainer with a superb record at this venue but the opener might fall to ESPOIR DE TEILEE. He was a good winner at Ludlow last time after a wind operation and has plenty scope for better.
- Espoir De Teillee
- Southfield Stone
- Mahlervous
