Useful hurdler who scored twice as a novice in this sphere over further during 2019/20 campaign. Missed the whole of last season, though, and might need this.

Bounced back to form for new connections (bought from Henry de Bromhead for just £9,000) when winning 2m novice handicap chase at Carlisle 3 weeks ago, easily. Good shout again up 6 lb.

Ended last season in fine fettle, winning at Ludlow (20f, heavy) before a couple of good placed efforts, which is good form. Nudged up 2 lb but can go well back in trip if ready to motor.

2/1
Point winner who was on the up over hurdles last season, landing 2m Doncaster novice before excellent placed efforts in 3 handicaps. Sights quickly turned to chasing on return with tongue tie fitted.

Consistent sort who won again in 2m Down Royal handicap chase last week. First run on these shores and dangerous to discount.

Forecasts

Gunsight Ridge (2/1), Espion Du Chenet (10/3), Darling Du Large (6/1), Arvico Bleu (9/1), Sao (10/1), Knight In Dubai (10/1), Antunes (10/1), Golden Whisky (16/1)

Verdict

ARVICO BLEU won in good style at Carlisle starting out for Ewan Whillans and could follow up after a 6 lb rise. Gunsight Ridge is interesting on his chase debut/return having progressed over hurdles last season. Golden Whisky was another in fine form when last seen and can go well if ready to roll.

  1. ARVICO BLEU (IRE)
  2. GUNSIGHT RIDGE
  3. GOLDEN WHISKY (IRE)
