10/1
Sprung a surprise when scoring at Musselburgh on New Year's Day, but not in the same form in 3 handicaps since. Ought to find this easier back in a novice.

8/11
Wide-margin winner on 2½m Aintree chase debut early last season. Unable to build on that over fences and though hurdles win at Kempton doesn't represent return to best, he's still a big player here.

Back with Adam West and caused an upset when landing 7-runner novice at Plumpton (20.5f) 19 days ago. Penalty to carry but isn't out of this.

Confirmed previous promise when readily opening his account at Hexham last month. Looked booked for a place when falling 2 out at Sedgefield.

Easily best effort when second of 8 in a maiden hurdle at Newton Abbot (18.5f) recently but he was seen to maximum effect.

half-brother to smart hurdler Thomas Hobson, dam, half-sister to useful hurdler/smart chaser (stayed 21f) Torphichen. Modest form at best on Flat, raced up to 2m for Michael Wigham. Hood fitted.

Forecasts

Champagne Mystery (8/11), Taste The Fear (7/2), One Handsome Dude (4/1), Blakeney Point (10/1), Mr Sociable (14/1), Giovanni Royale (14/1), Jaunty Express (66/1), Jabbea (66/1), Lady Malarkey (125/1), Palermo (125/1)

Verdict

All 4 previous winners have positives and negatives, but ONE HANDSOME DUDE looked very comfortable away from soft ground when successful at Plumpton and the follow up may well be on the cards. Champagne Mystery is the form pick, though he was arguably lucky to win last time, so Taste The Fear, representing the race sponsor, is feared most.

  1. ONE HANDSOME DUDE (IRE)
  2. TASTE THE FEAR (IRE)
  3. CHAMPAGNE MYSTERY (IRE)
