5/6
Fair chaser at his best for Robin Dickin who justified strong support to make a winning yard debut over C&D in August, the way he went through the race quite taking. One to follow.

Modest maiden over hurdles, albeit finishing runner-up on 4 of his last 5 starts in that sphere. Strictly below best when midfield on return/chase debut at Uttoxeter 4 weeks ago but it's early days.

Shed maiden tag in a mares' handicap chase at Worcester (23f) last autumn and backed that up when second at Uttoxeter (22.5f) in November. Lost her way in 3 starts thereafter and others preferred now.

Both career victories gained at Sedgefield but he ran up to his best when runner-up at Market Rasen (21.4f) in January. Pulled up at aforementioned venue when last seen but back on last winning mark.

13/2
Modest hurdles winner who has been lightly raced in recent seasons. Highlighted he retains ability when fourth on return from 11 months off at Uttoxeter 4 weeks ago, now he needs to build on that run.

9/2
C&D winner who made light of 7-month absence to double career tally at Southwell (20.4f) in July. Shaped respectably in hitting frame both starts since and fancied to be in the mix.

11/1
Irish point winner and also a bumper winner in 2014. Little to shout about over hurdles last term for present stable but he shaped as if he'd come on for last month's return in that sphere.

Poor maiden hurdler who has offered little over fences/hurdles upon returning to action this summer and easy enough to look elsewhere on balance.

Forecasts

Vocaliser (5/6), Grand Coureur (9/2), Chatelier (13/2), City Never Sleeps (8/1), Between The Waters (8/1), Armattiekan (8/1), Gold Man (11/1), Two Hoots (25/1), Salazar (28/1), Stupid Cupid (50/1)

Verdict

VOCALISER was well backed and justified the strong support when making a winning chase debut over C&D for his new yard last month, just holding on at the line but going through the race really well. He can improve and follow up, possibly at the chief expense of Grand Coureur and Armattiekan.
