Chasing type who was much improved on fencing bow when easy winner of 2m handicap at Ffos Las in November. Hit with 7 lb rise but has more to offer and it may not stop him.

Matched fairly useful hurdle form when second on Doncaster chase debut in November but does need to shrug off a poor run at Newbury since.

Finally got off the mark when seeing off 6 rivals over C&D last month but that race did set up perfectly for him and there's a suspicion he could prove vulnerable off 6 lb higher now.

Landed a pair of handicap hurdle wins for Ron Hodges last season. The subject of an interesting trainer switch now tackling fences back from 10 months off. Needs keeping close eye on in betting.

Forecasts

Numitor (5/2), Dublin Four (5/1), Daytime Ahead (5/1), Jackson Hill (11/2), Desque De L'Isle (7/1), Postman (8/1), Demon D'Aunou (11/1), Doukarov (12/1), Fair Kate (22/1)

Verdict

NUMITOR appeals as the sort to go on from his Ffos Las chase debut success and can make light of a 7 lb rise, perhaps at the main expense of the Venetia Williams-trained Desque de L'Isle. This is quite a belated switch to fences for Daytime Ahead but she would also enter the reckoning if the betting speaks in favour on her first outing for Harry Fry.
