5/2
12 race maiden was beaten just 1¾L when third in a 3m novices' handicap chase at Musselburgh (soft) in February. Had wind surgery since and is one to note despite a 3lb rise in the weights.

7/4
In front when falling at the last in a 3m handicap chase at Kempton (good-to-soft) just under four months ago. Races off a 6lb higher mark here and holds strong claims for a top yard in this contest.

Placed twice from five chase starts to date but looked held when falling over an extended 2m4f at Kempton in March. Interesting to see how he fares stepping up in distance.

Off the mark at the sixth time of asking when winning a 2m4f maiden hurdle at Hexham (soft) by 1¾L last October. Absent since and market support would be notable on chase and handicap debut.

14/1
Placed three times over fences during the 2018/19 season but finished a well beaten 18L tenth over 2m7f at Taunton (good-to-soft) in a novices' handicap chase when last in action back in November. Others make more appeal on seasonal debut.

Forecasts

Soldier Of Love (7/4), Stop The World (5/2), Monty's Award (11/4), Darry Desbois (11/1), Lex Talionis (14/1)

Verdict

SOLDIER OF LOVE was unlucky to come down at the last when in front on his most recent start and he can make amends by taking this small field novices' handicap chase for trainer Paul Nicholls. The selection is taken to get the better of top weight Stop The World who finished a close third over fences last time out while third place can go to Darry Desbois who has forecast underfoot conditions to suit on debut over fences.
