Fairly useful chaser who opened account over fences in novice handicap at Hexham (2m) in October. Creditable efforts when runner-up next 2 outings but below form at Musselburgh (20.3f) when last seen.

Forecasts

Caddyhill (5/6), Feel The Pinch (11/10), Away At Dawn (6/4), Bulldoze (7/1)

Preference is for CADDYHILL to build on his 3 starts over fences and gain another victory over C&D. The 7-y-o made a successful stable/chase debut here in good style in September and got back on track when only finding one too good last time. He can get the better of chase debutant Feel The Pinch, while Away At Dawn was no match for the selection when the pair met earlier in the season.
