Capitalised on reduced mark when landing a C&D handicap chase in December 2019. Well beaten next 2 starts under Rules and best watched starting out for new yard/on back of 12 months off.

100/1
Modest handicap chase winner (at 23.4f) who ended last season below par, turning in a lacklustre display at Sedgefield (26.2f) 12 months ago. Well held in points in December and others preferred.

Has a patchy profile under Rules and hard to glean much encouragement from his midfield effort at Ludlow (23.8f) last month, struggling some way out. Cheekpieces fitted again.

Regressive under Rules for Tom Symonds and has failed to complete in 3 goes between the flags. Yard hold much stronger claims with Wishing And Hoping.

Demonstrated fairly useful form when landing a couple of hunters in 2018. Multiple winner between the Flags and not disgraced when fifth in a Hexham handicap (31.9f) in November. Each-way claims.

Won 3 small-field handicaps over fences during 2018. Not disgraced when third in a Perth hunter (23.8f) for present stable but that came back in spring 2019 and subsequent absence not ideal.

One-time smart chaser for Willie Mullins who has proven prolific in points, landing a small-field affair last spring. Now firmly into veteran stage but another holding each-way claims.

9/1
Useful hurdler at his best but became temperamental and well beaten all 3 starts upon joining Charlie Longsdon last winter. Hard to know what to expect for new yard making debut in this discipline.

Brother to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Kerrow (23f-25f winner). Multiple winner himself in points, runner-up last time (Apr 2019) but he's yet another with a lengthy absence to overcome.

Verdict

WISHING AND HOPING was 2-3 in this sphere last season and, arriving on the back of a solid second when last seen between the flags, he's fancied to continue the good work back in this discipline in a race where most have something to prove. Duhallow Tornado and Haymount are a couple of others to consider.
