1/1
Landed a pair of novice hurdles for this yard last season. Could only manage fourth when sent off favourite for his chase/handicap debut at Catterick last month but well worth another chance. Tongue tied first time.

Started last season with 2 handicap hurdle wins here. Has begun the current campaign with 2 creditable placed efforts over fences (C&D latterly) and no reason why he won't give another good account.

12/1
Unable to match bumper form in 4 hurdles outings last term and made an inauspicious start to his chase career at Ayr in October. First-time cheekpieces on, torngue tie off. Still relatively early days but he's hard to make a good case for from 6 lb out of the weights.

Forecasts

Masked Crusader (1/1), Diamond State (2/1), Curious Times (9/2), Thunder In Milan (12/1)

Verdict

Another chance is given to MASKED CRUSADER as his point background suggests he should do well over fences and perhaps he just needed the run on his first attempt at Catterick. Diamond State is the obvious danger.
