Positives to draw from all 4 hurdles starts this term and landed a gamble in impressive fashion on chase bow by 7½ lengths from Monsieur Co over C&D 10 days ago. More to come and can defy a penalty.

Inconsistent but dropping in the weights and was 7 lengths behind Clear The Runway over C&D 10 days ago, albeit no impression. 7 lb better off now but still hard to see him reversing the placings.

Modest handicap chaser nowadays though wasn't disgraced from out of the handicap in this headgear here (22f) last month. This less demanding.

Fair winner on Flat but well held both starts over fences here this winter. However, cashed in off reduced mark back over hurdles here 10 days ago so not taken lightly back in sphere off same mark.

Exposed but capitalised on a reduced mark in game fashion at Cartmel in May. Good second at Hexham following month but below par since.

Positive start for this yard when second of 4 in handicap chase here (23.8f) last month. However, ran poorly back here 10 days ago and remains winless over fences.

Confirmed previous promise when narrow winner at Musselburgh in November and followed it up with a respectable fourth at Hexham. Needs to shrug off a disappointing run at Bangor, however.

Forecasts

Clear The Runway (8/11), Idilico (5/1), Monsieur Co (7/1), Mah Mate Bob (9/1), Izzy's Champion (12/1), Boy's On Tour (14/1), Mymilan (14/1), Celtic Dancer (28/1), Roll Of Thunder (66/1)

Verdict

CLEAR THE RUNWAY had plenty in hand when landing a gamble on chase bow over this C&D 10 days ago and should prove hard to beat under a penalty with further progress on the cards. Idilico didn't impress on his 2 chase starts here but he was an impressive winner over hurdlers here off this mark recently so may emerge as the biggest threat.
