11/4
Strong traveller who had 2 years off but proved he retains all of his ability for Dan Skelton in another light campaign last season. Makes comeback for new yard and well weighted if back on song.

2/1
Not the force of old and winless since early 2017, though his mark reflects that and he wasn't disgraced on his return when third of 6 in 21f handicap chase at Hereford 19 days ago. Each-way claims.

Lightly raced in last couple of seasons but signed off for last term with good fifth of 18 in 2m handicap chase (50/1) at Cheltenham in March. Not ruled out if fully tuned up for his comeback.

Sprung something of a surprise when successful on return at Stratford (22.5f) in September but has twice disappointed at Fakenham since. Risky proposition at present.

Useful winning chaser at his best but ended last term under something of a cloud. Returns after 10 months off now with bit to prove.

Not the easiest to catch right but he returned with good third of 14 in 20f handicap hurdle at Aintree last month. Back chasing now and in the mix if on song again.

Winless in a light campaign last term but signed off with good second in 2m Hereford handicap chase. Since had a wind op and goes very well fresh so he's a player off a handy mark.

Forecasts

Garde La Victoire (2/1), Two Taffs (11/4), Sametegal (4/1), Sir Ivan (5/1), Baby King (7/1), Drumconnor Lad (8/1), Princeton Royale (10/1), Theinval (14/1), Theo (20/1)

Verdict

A few in with a shout but Tom George's BABY KING has an excellent record when fresh so is given the nod on his comeback after a wind op. Two Taffs also returns on a handy mark so is feared most on his first outing for Nigel Twiston-Davies, while Garde La Victoire and Drumconnor Lad are much respected too.

  1. BABY KING (IRE)
  2. TWO TAFFS (IRE)
  3. GARDE LA VICTOIRE (FR)
