Second in novice chase at Chepstow in January. Didn't get chance to show what he could do back in handicap next time (unseated early). Stiff task back in novice latest and this a lot more realistic.

Placed in handicaps chases on 2 of his last 3 starts, with the form of his latest Ayr second boosted by the winner going in again since. Cheekpieces back on. Big player.

Fair maiden hurdler at best, but hasn't really fired in 4 starts for this yard and a watching brief is advised now switching to a chase (ran once over fences in France in 2019).

Failed to make much of an impact in bumpers/hurdles, including well held on his completed start in handicaps. Remains to be seen if a switch to fences make any difference.

French bumper winner. Placed in a couple of handicap hurdles this term. Well held sole previous start over fences but he should be capable of better in this sphere.

Winning hurdler for Paul Nicholls in 2018. Below that level in light career for this yard since and has never really convinced as a chaser.

Poor form at best, finishing sixth of 11 in a similar event at Taunton last time. Will need to up his game.

Little form of worth over hurdles, including well held in 3 handicaps. Point winner so possible he could fare better over fences.

Forecasts

Broomfields Kan (9/4), Gosuatri (5/2), Onenightintown (4/1), Danny Park (13/2), Ballycorr (8/1), Captain Cuckoo (9/1), Choix Des Armes (10/1), Stamina Chope (11/1), Chance Finale (20/1)

Verdict

BROOMFIELDS KAN's latest Ayr second has been boosted by the winner scoring again since and that looks a very solid piece of form in the context of this race. Gosuatri didn't figure on his sole previous chase start but has shown he can be competititve off this sort of mark over hurdles and is feared most ahead of top weight Captain Cuckoo.
