Landed 3-runner handicap chase at Huntingdon (2m) in May 2019 but mixed record since and has finished well held both starts this term. First run for new yard here.

Much improved when second of 9 on handicap/chasing bow over C&D (good) last month. Likely more to come in this sphere and is a leading contender.

Creditable efforts both starts over fences, latest when second in 8-runner handicap chase at Fontwell (19.5f, good to firm) 7 days ago. Remains open to improvement.

Below par latest but had backed up his C&D victory with fine second at Market Rasen (17.2f) previously and must enter calculations. Blinkers on first time.

Maiden who might have rectified that had he jumped the last better on his return over C&D last month. Confirmed return to form both starts since and could well play a part. 2 lb out of the weights.

Forecasts

Cool Country (11/8), Iconic Hero (3/1), Tim Rocco (9/2), Dream Bolt (6/1), Secret Melody (8/1), Chain Of Beacons (8/1), Admiral's Sunset (10/1), Middlebrow (12/1), Centreofexcellence (14/1), Cesar Du Gouet (16/1), Shady Oaks (25/1)

Verdict

Preference is for COOL COUNTRY, who left his previous form well behind when runner up on chase debut here last month and is entitled to build on that. Iconic Hero and Tim Rocco are feared most.

  1. COOL COUNTRY (IRE)
  2. ICONIC HERO (IRE)
  3. TIM ROCCO (GER)
