4/1
Dual winner last season who arrives on back of good second of 4 in novice hurdle at Cheltenham (20.2f, good) 35 days ago. Makes chase debut now and he shouldn't be underestimated.

Useful and consistent winning hurdler who posted good fourth in 2m Newbury handicap 54 days ago. Sent over fences now and not taken lightly.

Put up useful effort when landing 2m4f Sedgefield handicap in March but below-par fifth of 7 at Ayr (21.4f, good) 31 days ago. Shouldn't be underestimated now going chasing.

3/1
Opened his account over fences in 2m Kempton handicap and followed it with good second in novice chase over C&D 36 days ago. That form has been franked, so he's a player back in handicap company.

11/1
Dual 2m hurdle winner last winter but below par of late in that sphere. Makes chase debut now with cheekpieces on and has a bit to prove.

Fairly useful hurdler/chaser who posted good second of 6 in 2m handicap chase at Warwick 16 days ago. Not the easiest to catch right, however.

Forecasts

Onthefrontfoot (3/1), Statuario (3/1), Witness Protection (4/1), Ashington (9/2), Midnights' Gift (13/2), The Bees Knees (11/1)

Verdict

A few of these offer potential on their chasing bows, but ONTHEFRONTFOOT brings solid chasing form to the table and is fancied to put his experience to excellent effect here. Winning-pointer Witness Protection is feared most now he goes over fences with fellow chasing debutant Midnights' Gift also much respected in an intriguing novice event.

  1. ONTHEFRONTFOOT (IRE)
  2. WITNESS PROTECTION (IRE)
  3. MIDNIGHTS' GIFT
