Doodles, Baker And Turner Novices' Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Four-time hurdles winner in France. Form has been patchy since crossing the Channel, but he did manage to make the most of a good opportunity over fences at Stratford (19.5f) last month. Already off bridle when brought down fifth at Southwell since.

Promise in a light career under Rules, readily winning a 19f Warwick maiden hurdle last month. Point win in Ireland provides hope that he can prove at least as good over fences. Looks to have struck upon a weak race here.

Won twice over hurdles in France but he's hasn't threatened in handicaps over hurdles and fences for this yard. Mark has come down a good way as a result but others are still preferred.

Poor maiden. Ran one of his better races when third at Plumpton last time but he's 7 lb out of the handicap here.
