Jamie And Laura Are Getting Married Handicap Chase

Back-to-back winner last September and notched fourth success over fences in good style Warwick (2½m, good) in September, quickening clear after hitting the front 2 out. Matched that form when second at Exeter despite racing freely.

Bumper/hurdles winner in France who built on encouraging stable debut when making all in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (19.2f) last October. Shaped as if retaining all of his ability switched to fences on last month's return, ultimately unseating rider at the last. Likely to step up on that.

Scored at Wincanton and Huntingdon earlier this year but never really found much of a rhythm after an early error in his hat-trick bid at Sandown. Soon done with at Newbury in April but a break may have done him some good. Cheekpieces missing.

Useful chaser who took advantage of reduced mark back over fences at Wincanton in January. Not in the same form twice to end the campaign but he's well weighted if ready to go on reappearance.

Thrived for Sean Curran last term, winning 2m handicaps at Newbury and Sandown. Well held on reappearance for new yard last month but he almost certainly needed that so likely to run closer to form this time.

Runner-up in an Irish point and off the mark at the second attempt over timber at Huntingdon. Defied a penalty with the minimum of fuss at Wincanton in February before set a stiff task in the Dovecote. Switches to fences on second handicap start for top yard.

Headstrong sort who has taken his form up a level since having a wind op, landing back-to-back 2m handicaps at Newton Abbot. Shaped quite well when third over C&D last month so warrants consideration.

Successful twice at up to 17.5f over fences last season but profile was rather all or nothing. Back on his correct mark for return to action.

Opened his account for the season in weak 4-runner handicap chase at Worcester (2m) in August. Failed to cash in on a lower hurdles mark a month later but better expected returned to the larger obstacles.

Fair chaser for Paul Nicholls but he's not the most straightforward. Cashed in on a reduced mark at Worcester in August but not an obvious follow-up contender given overall profile.
