Back to best when second of 6 in handicap chase at Sedgefield on return in November. However, has failed to match that level of form in 3 subsequent starts, let down by jumping at Newcastle latest.

Resumed winning ways at Catterick a year ago but has struggled since, albeit looking rusty after 3 months off when last of 4 in handicap chase at Catterick (25.2f, good) 35 days ago. Below last winning mark now at least.

Fairly useful winner at 20f over hurdles but down the field all 4 starts over fences this season after a long time off.

Fair winning chaser who is refinding her form, not seen to best effect when fourth at Ayr last month, finishing with running left. Shortlist material.

Got right back on track when second of 10 in handicap chase at Hereford (20.9f) and backed that up when third at Southwell. Not taken lightly.

3/1
Point winner who justified good support to score on Newcastle chase debut in November prior to a good second at Market Rasen. Not at best at Doncaster on latest outing 29 days ago but he remains the type to do better still in this sphere and he's worth considering.

Won 4-runner handicap chase at Kelso (23.4f, heavy), getting up late after getting outpaced. Hadn't been in much form prior to that victory, however, and quickly back in the doldrums at Carlisle.

Opened account at Sedgefield in April but record this season has been mixed, below-form fifth of 9 in handicap chase at Sedgefield (26.9f, soft) 40 days ago.

Unpromising in Irish points and well held completed starts over hurdles. 6 lb out of the weights on handicap/chase bow. Headgear on.

Forecasts

Future Benefits (3/1), No Regrets (10/3), Without Conviction (5/1), Bitasweetsymphony (6/1), Court Justice (10/1), Well Cliche (12/1), Chanting Hill (12/1), Dragonfruit (14/1), To The Limit (16/1)

Verdict

WITHOUT CONVICTION is coming back into form now, catching the eye when fourth over this C&D last month, and looks ready to strike reunited with her excellent-value conditional. Future Benefits disappointed at Doncaster but he's probably best forgiven that run given the sound start he has made over fences. Bitasweetsymphony is best of the rest.
