Scored over hurdles at Huntingdon 12 months ago and opened chase account at Wincanton on next outing. However he's got plenty to prove all of a sudden after a couple of non-completions (latest after 7 months off) and he's had a breathing operation since.

Off the mark in a handicap chase at Bangor (20.3f, heavy) last winter. More miss than hit subsequently but should at least come on for his recent Uttoxeter reappearance.

Fair chaser/hurdler when on-song but he's shown precious little in 3 starts this season.

Mixed record over hurdles but left chase bow well behind to score at Huntingdon 3 weeks ago, finding plenty, and there's better still to come from him.

Forecasts

Magnificent Ben (11/4), Kingcormac (3/1), Supasunrise (9/2), Heron Creek (11/2), Bitasweetsymphony (11/1), Legendary Rhythm (11/1), Alberic (11/1), Passing Secrets (16/1), Arcade Attraction (28/1), Royal Act (80/1)

Verdict

SUPASUNRISE had clearly learnt plenty from his chasing debut when off the mark under this rider at Huntingdon 3 weeks ago and is taken to follow up with further improvement likely. Kingcormac is on the upgrade and should give another good account, while Magnificent Ben was only just edged out at Lingfield on his return.
