10/1
Tongue strap on when never-dangerous eighth of 12 in handicap at Kelso (17.1f) on his debut over fences 64 days ago. More is needed now after a wind op.

Bagged 2m Worcester handicap chase in September and not disgraced back over hurdles when third at Bangor (16.7f) 16 days ago. Weighted to go well returned to this sphere.

7/2
Fair winner at 20f over hurdles. Best of his three runs in this sphere when third of 12 in handicap chase at Catterick (19.2f) 12 days ago. Not discounted off 3 lb lower mark here.

7/2
Remains a maiden after 22 runs, but he posted respectable fifth of 13 in handicap chase at Hexham (15.6f) 39 days ago. Bit more is needed if he's to gain a first win here though.

7/1
Six-time course winner, but he's not the force of old nowadays and came in a below-par fourth of 9 in handicap chase at Hexham (15.6f) 18 days ago. Unreliable type, too.

Scored twice over fences during early 2019. Not totally disgraced after long absence this term, third of 9 in handicap at Hexham (15.6f) 18 days ago. Shortlisted off a reduced mark.

20/1
Not seen over hurdles since last of 4 in novice at Market Rasen (20.6f) over 2 years ago. Runner-up in point in April, so he's no forlorn hope now going chasing.

Forecasts

Gouet Des Bruyeres (3/1), Barnay (7/2), Fightfortheroses (7/2), Budarri (5/1), Roxyfet (7/1), Coeur Aimant (7/1), Blueberry Wine (10/1), Miss Charlton (20/1)

Verdict

GOUET DES BRUYERES is a reliable sort who can take full advantage of a lenient mark back in this sphere and garner a third chase win. Barnay showed his best form over fences when third at Catterick last time and is next on the list with Budarri another weighted to have a say.
