18/1
17 runs since last win over fences in 2017, but produced a couple of good efforts in 3m handicaps last season after 11 months off. Shaped as if needing the run last time so should strip fitter now.

Mixed record in 2020/21 but picked up a couple of handicaps at Newbury and Perth. Below form both starts this season, but soft ground against him over C&D last time and worth another try at 3m.

Ended long losing run in this race a year ago off 1 lb lower. Took a crashing fall in the Grand National final start of 2020/21, however, and well held in 3 starts this season. Cheekpieces now added,

Raced sparingly in recent seasons, but made a promising chasing debut when second of 7 in handicap at Newbury (23.4f) in December. Pulled up on soft ground last time but could get back on track here.

Back to form when just denied at Cheltenham on return and didn't run as badly as form suggests in Ladbrokes Trophy at Newbury next time. However, ran poorly following a wind op last time.

Useful sort who won here (20.5f) a year ago off 1 lb lower. Encouraging return at Newbury and good second of 8 in handicap over C&D last month. Unexposed at 3m and could go one better than last time.

Failed to go on from promising start over fences last winter but some promise when midfield in the Badger Ales, though didn't find a great deal. However, pulled up last time and had wind op since,

Had had wind op and tongue strap on when creditable third in 3m handicap chase over C&D 46 days ago. In the mix eased 1 lb here with Harry Skelton back in the saddle.

Arrives on a lengthy losing run, but latest chase run in June was encouraging. Too free over hurdles here a couple of months ago on sole outing since, but has dropped to a handy mark now back chasing.

Forecasts

Flegmatik (11/4), Smarty Wild (3/1), Colonial Dreams (6/1), Mellow Ben (7/1), Ofalltheginjoints (15/2), The Hollow Ginge (12/1), Morning Vicar (16/1), Ami Desbois (18/1), Double Shuffle (22/1)

Verdict

A competitive handicap in which SMARTY WILD is taken to come out on top and enhance his good record at the course. Another who remains unexposed at 3m is Flegmatik who bounced back to form over C&D last time following a wind op. The return to better ground should suit the Nicky Henderson pair of Morning Vicar and Colonial Dreams, with preference for the latter given the promise of his chase debut.
