4/1
Showed ability over hurdles last year and left chase debut form well behind when scoring with plenty in hand on return at Perth (2m). Only gone up 4 lb for that and there should be better to come.

6/1
Fair bumper winner for Paul George and, though 0-7 over hurdles for Grace Harris last year, he caught the eye when third on return/chase debut for new connections at Stratford (17f). Major player.

10/1
Best effort yet when fifth of 14 in 2m handicap hurdle on second start for this yard a fortnight ago. However, more needed now switched to the larger obstacles.

5/2
Form over hurdles was modest but this winning pointer has hit the crossbar on 2 of his 3 starts since switched to fences, including over C&D earlier this month. Cheekpieces applied.

15/2
Hurdles winner last May and didn't shape at all badly on return/chase debut at Bangor. However, failed to build on that next time and, though 3 lb lower now, she's probably worth taking on.

11/4
Little impact in half-a-dozen starts over hurdles but made a positive start over fences when second at Newton Abbot (21f) this month. Drop back in trip looks a good move and he's not short of appeal.

40/1
Failed to complete all 5 starts between the flags and 3 non-completions from 6 runs in this sphere (well held on each occasion that he has got round). Readily passed over on debut for new yard.

Forecasts

Court Jurado (5/2), Giga White (11/4), Lake Baikal (4/1), Simon The Great (6/1), Kiruna Peak (15/2), Sir Tivo (10/1), Swarez (40/1)

Verdict

This looks a stronger race than the one LAKE BAIKAL landed at Perth last month, but a 4 lb rise almost certainly underestimates him. Indeed, this lightly-raced 6-y-o possesses plenty of scope for further improvement and he is taken to follow up. Simon The Great made an eye-catching start to his chase career when third at Stratford and he is next on the list ahead of Giga White and Court Jurado.

  1. LAKE BAIKAL (FR)
  2. SIMON THE GREAT
  3. GIGA WHITE (IRE)
