10/1
Unreliable over hurdles but made a winning chase debut at Perth, jumping fluently. Excuses the last twice, so worth considering under more suitable conditions after a 66-day break.

Still a maiden but he did at least match his hurdles form when fifth from out of the handicap on 19f Exeter chase debut on penultimate start. Stamina stretched next time and remains on a handy mark.

Edging down the weights over hurdles and, though below form, wasn't knocked about when seventh of 9 in handicap at Huntingdon 66 days ago. Down in trip for chasing debut, and not completely ruled out.

Fair 26f winner over hurdles but returned from a long absence with a poor showing in handicap at Doncaster 91 days ago. Switches to chasing but others are more persuasive.

Fair hurdler who got off the mark at Newton Abbot in September and has run with credit on both subsequent outings. Interesting chasing debutant on the back of a break.

Maiden who has taken well to fences, third of 6 in 21f Fakenham handicap last time. Tongue strap goes on and firmly in the mix off a 2 lb lower mark.

Winning pointer who showed fair form on his standout effort over hurdles. Tame efforts both outings this year, so switched to fences with a bit to prove.

Fair hurdler but no impact in a trio of chases, well-held sixth in C&D handicap 23 days ago. Hard to make a strong case for.

Ex-pointer who showed only modest form in a trio of hurdling outings and was down the field on handicap/chase debut over C&D on reappearance. Others make more appeal.

Just minor promise in novice events during 2017/18 campaign and no real encouragement in 2 handicap hurdles since returning from monster absence. Goes chasing first time now.

Well held in pair of maiden hurdles last winter for Colin A. McBratney and, having unseated in a point, offered little in novice at Exeter on debut for current yard 107 days ago. Chasing might suit.

Has looked limited on early evidence but shaped a bit better than being pulled up suggests in a handicap hurdle at Wetherby last time and may fare better now sent chasing (winning pointer).

Lightly-raced maiden who was in the process of running creditably when falling 3 out at Ffos Las penultimate start. Didn't seem to get home last time, so worth considering back at more suitable trip.

Verdict

INNERPICKLE was going the right way over hurdles towards the back end of last year and was only denied by a rejuvenated sort at Chepstow 98 days ago. Provided he takes to chasing, he could take all the beating, although the likes of Miss Gemstone and Special Buddy make some appeal in opposition.
