Made a good start over fences for David Dennis last season, winning a couple of handicaps and better form upon return for new yard, runner-up twice. Looks well handicapped.

7/4
Won in good style back from 2 years off over hurdles at Southwell (20.2f) in May 2019. Didn't progress as may have been expected to end the year but he's had a wind op ahead of this second chase run.

11/1
Belatedly doubled chase tally at Warwick (3m) in April 2019 and another good effort there when runner-up in November. Can make mistakes and record fresh suggests he may need this.

10/3
Much improved to score twice over fences in 2018 and bounced back to best when adding to tally at Taunton in March. Off since but a player up 6 lb if he returns at that level.

Forecasts

Flying Verse (13/8), Monkey Puzzle (7/4), Never Learn (10/3), Follow The Swallow (11/1), Silver Man (20/1)

Verdict

FLYING VERSE has made a very positive start to life with Tom Symonds, finding only a thriving rival too good at Newton Abbot last month, and he looks ahead of the game from the same mark. Never Learn tasted success when last seen in March and is a threat, while Monkey Puzzle should have more to offer over fences.
