Landed Ffos Las novice chase in the mud last term. Struggled in competitive chases after and no impact back hurdling this season. Handicapper relenting but he has plenty to prove.

Low-mileage mare who stepped up on her return when third in a mares' handicap at Cheltenham (20f) in December, rallying from the last. Longer trip worth exploring and much respected.

Returned to form when notching third success over hurdles at Catterick (25.3f, good to soft) last month. However, that wasn't much of a race, so he isn't an obvious type to follow up.

5/1
One-time useful chaser who has shaped as if retaining a good chunk of ability all 3 starts over hurdles this season and will benefit from a return to further than 3m. Can't rule out.

Has improved since switching to handicaps, opening his account at Huntingdon prior to good second at Taunton (19f). Bred to be suited by this significantly longer trip, and remains with potential.

Lost his way over fences at the end of last season and no real sign of revival in chase/hurdle since returning to action. Others preferred despite tumbling mark.

One-time useful chaser but not the force of old and has failed to complete either start for current yard. Readily passed over.

Bumper winner who got back on track when runner-up here (20.5f) on second handicap start in December. Wasn't seen to best effect in a Jumpers Bumper last time and now tries a much longer trip.

Verdict

CROSSGALESFAMEGAME was far from disgraced in a hot race at Wincanton on her reappearance and, having shaped as if worth a try at this trip at Cheltenham last time, she looks the way to go. The unexposed Zhiguli should be fine with this extra distance judged on his pedigree and is considered the main threat ahead of Ridgeway Flyer.
