28/1
Ungenuine type who is now seventeen runs without a win. Failed to see things out any better despite having had a breathing operation when behind Champ Is Real over C&D 10 days ago. Cheekpices back on.

Dual chase winner (including over C&D) but little show this season, including over timber. Back over fences here and needs to leave recent efforts behind.

Going the right way on the back of a wind op this term, taking another step forward to complete the hat-trick at this C&D in December. Run of good form halted at Newcastle since so bounce back needed.

6/1
Temperamental sort who regained winning ways in 3m handicap hurdle here in December. Not so good next time when 9¾-lengths third behind Champ Is Real and hard to see him getting much closer here.

30/100
Failed to beat a rival in 3 starts over hurdles but landed a significant gamble despite being 11 lb out of the handicap to win easily on chase/handicap debut over C&D 10 days ago. The one to beat.

Forecasts

Champ Is Real (30/100), Emirat De Catana (6/1), Rapid Raider (17/2), Definite Wisdom (22/1), Spider's Bite (28/1)

Verdict

This revolves around CHAMP IS REAL, who had any amount in hand when making a winning chase/handicap debut sporting a first-time tongue tie over C&D 10 days ago. He appeals as the type who can run up a sequence so, racing from his correct mark here, he will prove tough to beat. Rapid Raider had been progressive prior to his Newcastle effort so he's feared most, ahead of Emirat de Catana.
