Off the mark in a handicap chase at Bangor (20.3f, heavy) last winter. All the better for return when second at Hereford and big shout off the same mark in this weaker race.

Matched the pick of his hurdles form to open his account on first completed start over fences at Wincanton in March. Not seen since, however, and this trip probably short enough for him.

Quickly back on track when second of 8 in handicap chase at Fakenham (16.3f, good) 6 days ago on third start for this yard and respected off the same mark.

Modest hurdler who has shown some aptitude for chasing but probably best to look elsewhere for win purposes.

Decent placed efforts at Sedgefield but not so good next 2 starts, tried in headgear when a remote third at Doncaster last time. Given a break since so could bounce back.

Winner at Fontwell in October and ran at least as well when second at Plumpton on next outing. Perhaps feeling effects of quick turnaround at Fakenham last time, so not ruled out if able to get back on track after a break.

No form over hurdles (left Michael Winters/off 15 months before latest start). Tongue strap on for 1st time. Makes handicap/chase debut (pulled up sole start in points).

Finally got his head in front when successful in handicap chase at Huntingdon in March and followed up back there 8 days later. Back to form when third from 4 lb out of the handicap at Huntingdon last time and back on his proper mark now.

Winner of sole start between the flags and shaped better than the distance beaten suggests at Wincanton (25f, soft) on just his second go over fences last month. However, ran no sort of race at Leicester last week.

No show in 4 starts over hurdles and fared no better sent chasing at Catterick. Headgear applied.

Limited hurdler/chaser who is hard to fancy. Change of headgear.

Poor maiden hurdler/chaser and recent efforts suggest he's unlikely to land a first career success here from out of the weights.

Forecasts

Bitasweetsymphony (4/1), Templier (4/1), Who Is That (5/1), Quiet Flow (13/2), Just Toby (8/1), Amber Run (10/1), Lonimoss Bareliere (12/1), Leskinfere (18/1), El Diablo (20/1), Dogem By Design (20/1), Chain Smoker (22/1), Red Romeo (28/1)

Verdict

BITASWEETSYMPHONY proved all the better for his comeback when runner-up in a better race than this at Hereford last month and is taken to go one place better off the same mark. Quiet Flow may emerge as the biggest threat back down in trip after a break, with Templier best of the others.
