9/5
Capitalised on a much reduced mark when seeing off 17 rivals at Exeter (23f) in a first-time visor last month. Forged clear after the last and he's a major player off 7 lb higher if the headgear works as well a second time.

Flat winner who showed fair form at best over hurdles in France. Has rarely got competitive over hurdles for current yard, though, and also well-held fifth back on Flat last month. Stable does well here but others are more obvious.

Well backed but held when unseating his rider last in handicap chase at Market Rasen (21.5f, good to soft, 4/1) 34 days ago. Switches from chase to hurdles.

Improved efforts over this C&D in recent months, winning before finishing second off this mark. Likely to be in the shake-up again.

Doesn't look obviously well treated for this handicap debut but his lightly-raced profile provides hope for better. Also has cheekpieces on first time.

Runner-up on bumper debut last May (for Ben Pauling) but hasn't shown much over hurdles for this yard, including his handicap debut 24 days ago. Remains to be seen if a significantly longer trip sparks improvement.

Best effort to date when third in 3m Wetherby handicap 33 days ago. That gives him something to build on.

Latest win in 21f chase here in October but wasn't at best when fifth of 8 in a course handicap hurdle (21f again) 14 days ago. Up in trip. Others are preferred.

Forecasts

Cresswell Queen (13/8), Lake Shore Drive (9/5), Presenting Yeats (4/1), Bird On The Wire (6/1), Miraculous Getaway (7/1), Howzat Hiris (9/1), Karapiro Doug (14/1), Balkotic (16/1), Zen Master (25/1), Landacre Bridge (28/1)

Verdict

LAKE SHORE DRIVE forged clear in a big field at Exeter last time so a 7 lb rise may not stop him if the visor continues to have a positive effect. Cresswell Queen has done well here lately so she's feared most ahead of Presenting Yeats.

  1. Lake Shore Drive9/5
