Progressed into a smart handicap hurdler last winter and made an encouraging winning start to his chase career at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) in May. Definitely more to come from him over fences.

7/2
Winner of first 2 starts over fences and has shown better form in defeat since. Has cheekpieces on for the first time and a tongue tie refitted here. Has an experience edge and should go well again.

9/2
Fairly useful useful dual novice hurdle winner last season. Could have even more to offer over fences but he does have to race from 5 lb out of the handicap on this first attempt.

Capable hurdler but could only manage a pair of well-held thirds in novice chases in a light 2020/21 campaign. 11 lb out of handicap. Fair bit to prove for now.

Forecasts

Any News (13/8), Friend Or Foe (5/2), Beyond The Clouds (7/2), Lord Baddesley (9/2), Colonel Custard (20/1)

Verdict

A good-quality novice handicap. FRIEND OR FOE appeals as one who is likely to better his hurdle form over fences so he's fancied to make light of top weight on his return from a break and make it 2-2 in this sphere. Beyond The Clouds, much the most experienced chaser in the line-up, is the one likely to give him most to think about.
