Tie The Knot Wedding Catering Novices' Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Five-time Flat winner who scored twice over hurdles in France back in 2018. Failed to win over timber for current yard but landed brace of small-field handicaps over fences during the autumn. Unseated rider early in hat-trick bid in December.

Really found his feet for his new yard in recent months, producing another likeable front-running display when completing the hat-trick at Sandown in December. Given a short break but 3 lb rise won't prevent another very bold bid.

Built on his encouraging reappearance second in the Silver Trophy at Chepstow when going one better in handicap hurdle here. Disappointed at Newbury next time and while he showed more than previously over fences when fourth at Kempton latest, he's still not entirely convincing.

Impressive winner on first go over fences at Stratford (20.9f) in October. Let down by jumping next 2 starts but back on track when scoring at Exeter on New Year's Day. Latest run suggests assessor may just about have him.

Winning hurdler who posted promising third of 8 in handicap at Kempton (20.5f, good to soft, 25/1) on debut over fences in November. Disappointing at Wincanton but quickly back on his game at Chepstow 10 days ago. One to consider.

A while since he's properly finished a race off with any purpose. Hurdles spin in December will have blown away the cobwebs but he has a lot to prove at present.
