Justified support returned to chasing to record a first success in almost 4 years at Warwick. Followed that with a creditable effort over 16.5f here recently and he needs considering.

Largely progressive over hurdles last term (won at Newcastle in December) and pulled nicely clear of the rest when runner-up on chase debut at Worcester (2½m, good). Major player.

Useful winning chaser for Gordon Elliott in Ireland, but he's failed to shine in three starts since joining this yard and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Fairly useful form over hurdles/fences in France, winning listed chase at Nantes in October. However, no show in two stars for new yard and hopes pinned on the first-time cheekpieces sparking a revival.

Useful chaser at his best for Henry de Bromhead, but has finished down the field in 4 starts hurdling/chasing for this yard and no real reason to anticipate a resurgence coming here.

85/40
All four chase wins have been gained here, the latest in December. Lost little cast in defeat at Warwick (3m, good) recently and it's not hard to envisage this 8-y-o giving another good account of himself.

Forecasts

Planned Paradise (15/8), Lord Sparky (85/40), One For Billy (3/1), Dindin (10/1), Jan Maat (14/1), Dinons (28/1)

Verdict

PLANNED PARADISE looks the way to go following a highly encouraging effort on his chase debut at Worcester where he found just one too good. A 6 lb rise for that effort was hardly an act of generosity on the handicapper's part, but it's likely that this 6-y-o has more to offer. Lord Sparky goes well here and is feared most, while One For Billy is the pick of the remaining quartet.
