3/1
Yet to win in this country, but has finished in the money on several occasions. Drop in trip counted against him at Fakenham (16.3f) last time and claims off 4 lb lower here with cheekpieces refitted.

More miss than hit over fences for Noel Meade and well held sole completed start since joining this yard. Best to look elsewhere.

Winless following 5 starts over hurdles and probably isn't the most straightforward of types. Still, there's clearly ability there and he's worth a second look now upped in trip for this chase debut.

Not the force of old and has offered little in 3 starts for present yard, including when reverting to this sphere at Kelso last time. Hopes now pinned on first-time blinkers sparking a revival.

Seemingly perked up by first-time cheekpieces recently at Catterick (19.2f) where he was still in the firing line when exiting at the final fence. Now 2 lb lower, but goes without headgear this time.

Proved 1½ lengths too good for Zuckerberg when opening chase account here (21f) in October, but by no means certain to confirm those placings on these revised terms. Below par back here last week.

Solid second upon rejoining this yard at Hexham in October, and again at Market Rasen in December. Latest effort was poor, but this C&D winner has been given a chance by the handicapper.

Remains a maiden following 22 attempts under Rules, but he has found just one too good the last twice, including over this C&D recently when 5 lb 'wrong' at the weights. High on the shortlist.

Forecasts

Onenightintown (2/1), Zuckerberg (3/1), Cool Country (10/3), Yambocharlie (6/1), Muroor (10/1), Zen Master (16/1), Henry Brown (28/1), Tintern Theatre (50/1)

Verdict

A first taste of success on these shores could be in the offing for ZUCKERBERG, who wasn't seen to best effect down in trip at Fakenham and a subsequent 4 lb drop in the weights is a rather magnanimous gesture on the handicapper's part. Onenightintown will be a big threat if able to reproduce the form of his solid C&D effort last week, while chase debutant Yambocharlie also enters calculations.
