2/7
Consistent sort who made the most of a good opportunity to get off the mark in 9-runner maiden at Catterick (15.7f, good) 14 days ago, easily. Looks capable of defying a penalty in another weak event.

Comfortably off mark in Irish points at sixth attempt but went off too hard in a Haydock bumper on Rules debut in December. Fitted with a first-time tongue strap for hurdle debut (also had breathing op).

Successful twice in French bumpers (tongue tied second time) and wasn't disgraced in a slowly-run event at Wetherby (19.7f) on stable/UK debut last month. May build on that.

In reasonable heart on the level of late and showed more than on hurdling debut when fourth of 7 in a Doncaster novice 20 days ago.

Poor on Flat nowadays (respectable effort last time) and showed nothing sent hurdling after 7 months off at Wetherby in December. Easily opposed.

Maiden Irish pointer who offered little in a Wetherby bumper on Rules debut back in December. Best watched on the back of that now hurdling with a tongue strap added.

Forecasts

Chase A Fortune (2/7), Halpha Soleil (4/1), Percy Willis (17/2), Forcing Bull (14/1), Grifter (40/1), Third Avenue (66/1), Heeztheboy (125/1), Blooming Fortune (125/1)

Verdict

CHASE A FORTUNE easily opened his account at Catterick a fortnight ago and a penalty may not prevent the follow up in another weak race. Halpha Soleil wasn't beaten far on last month's UK/stable debut at Wetherby and is feared most ahead of Forcing Bull, who went off too hard in a Haydock bumper on his Rules debut in December.
