Useful winning chaser who was in good nick when last seen out 7 months ago. Has his first run on the level since 2018 but still merits serious consideration.

Fairly useful form on Flat in France in 2019. Pulled up over hurdles at Plumpton (17.8f, good) 28 days ago, but not discounted if resurgent in first-time cheekpieces.

Forecasts

Captain Square (1/1), Contingency Fee (2/1), Ming Dynasty (9/2), The First King (20/1), Quiana (22/1), Jumping Cats (100/1)

Verdict

MING DYNASTY is without a run on the level since 2018 but showed useful winning form over fences for his current yard when last seen on the track so gets the nod in an uncompetitive seller. Yarmouth scorer Contingency Fee and lightly-raced Captain Square appeal as the duo to chase home Brian Ellison's veteran in that order.
