13/8
Dual hurdles winner for David Dennis who posted good first effort for new yard after 8 months when second of 9 in handicap here (24f, good) 9 days ago. This is easier so holds good claims.

Proving rather disappointing over hurdles and fared little better on chase debut at Cartmel last month. Cheekpieces back on with bit to prove.

33/1 after 17 months off but good second of 12 in handicap chase at Newton Abbot (21f, good) 24 days ago. Very low mileage so not ruled out if able to back that effort up.

Unreliable type but posted good third of 9 in handicap chase at Southwell (24.3f, good, 5/1) 29 days ago. Others still appeal more though.

Twenty runs since last win in 2017 and laboured effort when fifth of 9 in handicap chase at Southwell (24.3f, good) 29 days ago. Visor/tongue strap on now but hard to warm to.

Patchy record but not disgraced when third in handicap chase (13/2) at Huntingdon (19.9f) 159 days ago. Not ruled out if back in good nick after his absence.

Sprung a surprise when successful over fences at Worcester (2m) last June but not in anything like the same form all 5 starts since, including in blinkers on his return. Easy to look elsewhere.

Blinkered for 1st time, creditable fifth of 17 in handicap hurdle (8/1) at Huntingdon (25f) 169 days ago. Last only previous run over fences so hard to warm to.

6/4 on first run since leaving Michael Mullineaux but below-form fifth in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (16.8f) in January. Has first run over fences since poor run in 2017 now with it to prove.

Forecasts

Schnabel (13/8), Dollar And A Dream (4/1), Hidden Glen (9/2), The Late Legend (11/2), Running Wolf (9/1), Dido (10/1), Colby (11/1), Sandford Castle (14/1), Paddling (40/1), Hillview Lad (50/1)

Verdict

SCHNABEL made an excellent start to life with his new yard when runner-up here last week and is fancied to go one better in this less demanding contest. Hidden Glen is feared most back over fences for the in-form Dr Richard Newland stable, while the very lightly-raced Dido can have a say too if able to back up his good Newton Abbot effort.
