Off time: 14:35 | Winning time: 5m 16.23s

Native Robin²⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Rex Dingle⁽³⁾| T: J Scott| OR: 115| CD

8/1

Consistent type who proved as good as ever to see off Flagrant Delitiep over C&D last time. Looks vulnerable after a rise, though.

Form: 5331-61

Air Navigator^p,t⁴⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-12| J: C Gethings| T: T R George| OR: 115

12/1

Boasts a mixed record over larger obstacles but mark is becoming appealing and fifth at Wetherby on return ranks as a respectable effort. Might build on that.

Form: 073P2-5

Big Difference²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Luca Morgan⁽⁷⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 115| BF

12/1

Ex-pointer who scored over hurdles and is getting his act together as a chaser, placed on both starts this season but return to this trip won't necessarily suit.

Form: 1/34P-22

Demon D'Aunou⁴⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 115

28/1

Made successful debut over fences at Cartmel in July, but has found life tougher since and remains 4 lb above that winning mark.

Form: 1U6543

Vocaliser^t⁵⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Mr James King⁽⁵⁾| T: O Murphy| OR: 114| D

10/1

One-time fairly useful chaser who has been rejuvenated since joining this stable, completing a hat-trick in game fashion at Ffos Las 58 days ago. Warrants respect again.

Form: 235-111

Flagrant Delitiep²⁶

Age: 5| Weight: 11-9| J: H Cobden| T: R Walford| OR: 112

3/1

Maiden who has shown encouraging signs since switched to chasing and found only Native Robin too good over C&D last time. Capable of reversing that form with improvement on the cards.

Form: 9322-42

Lots Of Luck^p²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-9| J: David Bass| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 112| BF

11/2

Much-improved model for the switch to chasing this year, adding a third success to his tally at Ffos Las (2m) in October. Good placed efforts since, so expect another solid showing.

Form: 121-123

Balgemmois³¹⁵

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 110| BF

9/4

Winning hurdler/chaser for Ali Stronge and, from what looks a fair mark, warrants consideration starting out for a shrewd yard after 10 months off.

Form: 85/F51P-

Magic River^t,v¹²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-11| J: Kevin Jones⁽³⁾| T: M F Harris| OR: 100

12/1

Fair chaser who looked as good as ever when runner-up under a waiting ride over C&D last time. More experienced jockey takes over, so he's a definite player.

Form: 414-252

This Breac^h,t²⁷³

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: David Noonan| T: J D Frost| OR: 87

66/1

Winning pointer who seemed suited by the drop in trip when making all at Leicester in February. Seemed undone by a rise subsequently and willl probably need this first outing for 9 months.

Form: 957144-

Balgemmois (9/4), Flagrant Delitiep (3/1), Lots Of Luck (11/2), Native Robin (8/1), Vocaliser (10/1), Air Navigator (12/1), Magic River (12/1), Big Difference (12/1), Demon D'Aunou (28/1), This Breac (66/1)

A competitive handicap chase that could go the way of Flagrant Delitiep, who is less exposed than most and capable of taking another step forward after an excellent second to Native Robin (re-opposes) last time. Magic River is also a player and Vocaliser deserves respect in his bid for the four-timer.
