9/4
Progressive novice hurdler who doubled chase tally when beating sole rival over C&D in November, making all. In trouble some way out when pulled up at Aintree but bounce back very likely.

4/5
Useful hurdler who scored on chase debut at Ascot in October prior to running out a fortunate winner of Newbury Gr 2 next time. No match to For Pleasure here (17f) since but return to further a plus.

4/1
Smart hurdler at his best who proved he retains most of his ability when reeled in only late on in an Exeter novce chase (19.2f) last month. Tongue tie again fitted and a repeat gives him a shout.

Forecasts

Nassalam (4/5), Annual Invictus (9/4), Elixir De Nutz (4/1)

Verdict

NASSALAM's latest effort has to go down as underwhelming but he holds sound claims on these terms and, with the return to further a plus, he could be worth chancing to get back on track. Annual Invictus is narrowly preferred to Elixir de Nutz for the forecast.

  1. NASSALAM (FR)
  2. ANNUAL INVICTUS (IRE)
  3. ELIXIR DE NUTZ (FR)
