13/8

Successful in his only point and won 2 novice hurdles last season. Bounced straight back from an underwhelming chase debut when showing useful form to win a C&D handicap 14 days ago. More to come.

Form: 1129-41

Atholl Street^t²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 132| BF

9/4

Maiden/novice winner at Taunton last winter and made a sound start over fences when second in 2m Fakenham novice handicap last month. Likely to do better and leading claims.

Form: 6/11P-2

Sebastopol^b,t⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Aidan Coleman| T: T Lacey| OR: 140

13/8

Useful hurdler who reached a similar level at second time of asking over fences when 4¾ lengths second of 4 to Third Time Lucki in Cheltenham Grade 2 days ago, although that may slightly flatter him.

Form: 222222

Forecasts

Rockstar Ronnie (13/8), Sebastopol (13/8), Atholl Street (9/4)

A small field but still an interesting novice chase. ATHOLL STREET was a beaten favourite on his Fakenham chase debut last month but still shaped qauite nicely in second and is selected to make the most of the weight he receives from recent C&D scorer Rockstar Ronnie.
