Age: 5|  Weight: 11-12| J: T J O'Brien| T: Evan Williams| OR:  97
Still winless but has performed with credit in all but one of his 5 starts over fences, fourth of 15 in the Chepstow handicap (19.4f) won by Masai Warrior (winner again since) last time. Key player.

Veiled Secrett169
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-11| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: M Sheppard| OR:  96| BF
Went close to opening his chase account at Market Rasen (19.2f) when last seen in October (final run for Tom Symonds). However, 4 lb higher back from a break for new yard, so more will be needed.

Age: 9|  Weight: 10-10| J: Harry Skelton| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR:  81WS
Placed on each of his half-a-dozen starts subsequent to making a winning reappearance at Southwell (20.4f) in August. Has undergone wind surgery and leading claims with Harry Skelton in the hot-seat.

Hold Me Tightt12
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-8| J: James Best| T: P Gundry| OR:  79
Long-standing maiden who almost gained that elusive first win in a Wincanton handicap chase in October. Has failed to match that form in 4 subsequent starts, though, and he's now 0-24 over jumps.

Rock On Aussieb,t33

Remains winless following 22 attempts under Rules and likely to come up short once more.

Spock132
Age: 16|  Weight: 10-0| J: Miss L Brooke(7)| T: Lady S Brooke| OR:  64| C
Very limited nowadays and hard to make a case for here given that he's 7 lb 'wrong' at the weights.

Forecasts

Veiled Secret (2/1), Grand Coureur (7/2), Arizona Glory (5/1), Hold Me Tight (11/2), Goldencard (8/1), Ardbruce (8/1), Rock On Aussie (20/1), Spock (50/1)

Verdict

The vote goes to GRAND COUREUR, who gained his latest success at Southwell on the back of a similar period of absence. Conditions won't be a problem and he represents a yard in good form. Arizona Glory should pick up a race over fences before long and is second choice ahead of Veiled Secret.
