Ended last season on a winning note, seeing off 5 rivals in 2m Southwell handicap chase. Not so good on first 2 starts this season but returned to form having had another wind op when runner-up at Newbury 3 weeks ago. Every chance he will feature.

Useful hurdler at peak and opened account over fences from reduced mark at Chepstow on heavy in January. Proving inconsistent since, though he probably found the race coming too soon last time just 10 days on from his Uttoxeter exertions last time. May bounce back.

Fairly useful chaser at best for Oliver Sherwood but has offered little for his current yard, producing a laboured effort when pulled up over timber 5 months ago. Not one to be interested in.

Headstrong sort who has little in hand off his current mark but at least deserves credit for his consistency, third of 7 in handicap chase at Taunton (18.2f, good to soft, 15/2) when last seen in December. Stable amongst the winners so folly to discount.

Returned to form back over the larger obstacles after a couple of dismal efforts over timber, beating all bar one exploiting a much-reduced mark starting out for new connections at Stratford 11 days ago. Obvious claims provided this doesn't come too soon.

Forecasts

Morgenstern (2/1), Commis D'Office (2/1), Romanor (4/1), Le Ligerien (9/2), Vinnie The Hoddie (16/1)

Verdict

A tricky race to unravel despite the small field but COMMIS D'OFFICE returned to form having had another breathing operation when second at Newbury 3 weeks ago and a repeat of that effort may well be enough to see him get back to winning ways. The return to fences seemed to spark Morgenstern into a revival at Stratford recently so he heads the dangers, ahead of the inconsistent Le Ligerien.
