Fairly useful hurdler at best for David Loughnane in 2019 when also shaped well on his only start over fences at Ludlow. Pulled up in point in October when last seen out so has it to prove.

Useful Irish hurdler in 2019 but pulled up in point when last seen in December. Not easy to assess on yard bow.

Seventeen runs since his last win in 2018. 100/1, pulled up in hunter chase at Musselburgh (26.6f) 9 days ago so hard to make a case for.

One-time useful hurdler but off over 2 years since last in handicap chase at Market Rasen (19.2f) for Jonjo O'Neill. Fitness a big concern on his comeback.

Fair ex-Irish hurdler/chaser. In good form in points so no forlorn hope back in this sphere for new yard.

4/6
Formerly smart chaser who unseated early returning from nearly 4 years off at Kelso then ran well when second of 9 in 23f hunter chase (6/1) here 10 days ago. Very much the one to beat.

Fairly useful chaser at best but tried in a visor when pulled up in handicap chase at Plumpton (17f) 13 months ago on final run for Chris Gordon. Since pulled up in point so has something to prove.

Forecasts

Tango De Juilley (4/6), Peacocks Secret (10/3), Clondaw Westie (13/2), Killiney Court (14/1), An Scairp (25/1), Argot (25/1), Iftiraaq (25/1), Matorico (40/1), Oliver's Hill (40/1), Guttural (66/1), Lord Ballim (80/1), Tara Bridge (125/1), Snowy Oscar (150/1)

Verdict

TANGO DE JUILLEY showed himself to still be a fairly useful chaser when runner-up here recently so should take plenty of beating in a race where most have question marks against them. Peacocks Secret has been running well in points so looks the one to chase home Venetia Williams' veteran with course winner Clondaw Westie appealing as the pick of the remainder.

  1. TANGO DE JUILLEY (FR)
  2. PEACOCKS SECRET (IRE)
  3. CLONDAW WESTIE (IRE)
