66/1, first run since leaving W. P. Mullins when sixth of 14 in novice chase at Wexford (16f, heavy) on debut over fences 12 days ago. Hard to fancy at this level.

Forecasts

Gentleman De Mee (4/7), Coeur Sublime (5/2), Jeremys Flame (13/2), Gallant John Joe (20/1), Francin (125/1)

Verdict

GENTELMAN DE MEE signed off last season with an impressive win in the Maghull Novices' Chase at Aintree and he's open to more improvement this season, so he's fully expected to make a winning return for all that Coeur Sublime is quite closely matched at the weights (receives 9 lb). Jeremy's Flame is the pick of the remaining trio.
