3/1

Successful at Southwell and Ludlow last year, and returned from a break with a near miss at Uttoxeter. Struggled next time at Market Rasen and others appeal more making his chase debut given profile.

15/8

Dual point winner who got off the mark over hurdles at Hereford (25.5f) last November. Is the type to make up into a better chaser so merits consideration on this return to action.

11/10

Lightly raced and seemed to relish 3m for the first time when opening his account in maiden company at Doncaster 12 months ago. Looks a proper stayer so this switch to chasing could bring out more.

Forecasts

Gosheven (11/10), Oscars Moonshine (7/4), Beatthebullet (15/8), Tight Call (3/1)

Tough to call with most of these promising to be better chasers than hurdlers. The vote goes to OSCARS MOONSHINE, who picked up where he left off when finishing runner-up at Newton Abbot last month and Paul Nicholls' charge can open his account at the first time of asking in this sphere. Gosheven is narrowly preferred over dual point-winner Beatthebullet for the forecast spot.
