Bumper/multiple hurdles winner who made light of a 20-month absence to score on chase debut at Newcastle (2m) in December 2018. Yet another lengthy absence to overcome but not dismissed out of hand.
|
Veteran who hasn't been disgraced all 3 starts over hurdles/fences so far this campaign, albeit his effort off the bridle rather underwhelming at Kelso latest. Still, not discounted back over fences.
|
Back to winning ways from reduced mark at Carlisle (20f) on penultimate start but not in same form at Newcastle (23.4f) since, weakening 3 out. Still, not ruled out down in trip.
|
10-y-o with a mixed record and whilst his mark continues to ease, he hasn't looked like taking advantage in recent starts.
|
Capitalised on a much-reduced mark when resuming winning ways at Cartmel (17.3f) in August. Hasn't scaled same heights either outing subsequently and others appeal more for win purposes.

Forecasts
Reivers Lad (13/8), Vengeur De Guye (9/4), Ard Chros (5/1), Ardera Cross (13/2), Sword Of Fate (7/1)
REIVERS LAD hasn't been seen since scoring on chase debut at Newcastle 2 years ago but he's already proven himself capable of defying a lengthy absence previously and could be the way to go in a handicap in which several arrive with a bit to prove. Vengeur de Guye may provide the chief threat.
