3/1
Dual hurdles winner who didn't get very far on chase debut at Newcastle. Jumping still far from perfect when runner-up at Leicester (2m) last month but in form terms in was a fair effort.

Fair hurdler who was going nicely when falling at Newcastle on second chase start in December. Decent efforts in jumpers bumpers there since and remains open to improvement in this sphere.

Handicap hurdle winner at Taunton from 3 lb higher in January 2020. Low-key chase start and didn't fare much better back over timber on Boxing Day.

7/2
All the better for return when overcoming a poor round of jumping to win at Catterick in December. Left with a lot to do when third at Doncaster so likely still in form but needs to cut errors out.

Left low-key reappearance well behind when just edged out by an in-form rival at Bangor (16.7f) in December. Not in same form twice since and now switches to chasing.

Forecasts

Exelerator Express (13/8), Little Rory Mac (3/1), Discko Des Plages (7/2), Maid O'Malley (9/1), Knight Destroyer (11/1), Bang On (12/1)

Verdict

EXELERATOR EXPRESS has shaped with promise on all 3 chase starts so far, third in a stronger race than this at Newbury in December, and he ought to give a very good account of himself from the same mark. Discko des Plages could do with brushing up on his jumping but has to command respect.
