5/2
Gained reward for consistency when winning 6-runner handicap chase at Doncaster (24f, good) 27 days ago. 7 lb higher now but must enter calculations.

5/1
Fairly useful winning hurdler who came good at the fifth time of asking over fences when shading a tight finish at Doncaster in January. Third to Twoshotsoftquila there last time and merits respect again.

11/2
Completed a hat-trick over fences at Carlisle in October and has generally held form off higher marks since. Didn't get home in the Eider at Newcastle last time, so likely to bounce back.

20/1
Veteran hurdles/dual chase winner who has been below his best in recent starts, seventh in big field Cross Country chase at Punchestown (25f) 17 days ago. On a handy mark, though, and stable's runners command respect on these shores.

7/2
Thorough stayer who got off the mark at Kelso in November but he's been below par since. Dipped below winning mark now and yard going well, so no surprise if he bounced back.

Belatedly opened chase account at the twelfth time of asking at Wetherby in December but has run crditably only once in three subsequent outings. Hard to rely on.

Forecasts

Twoshotsoftequila (5/2), Camp Belan (7/2), Aire Valley Lad (9/2), Taste The Fear (5/1), Houston Texas (11/2), Gipsy Lee Rose (12/1), Donna's Delight (14/1), Nick Lost (20/1)

Verdict

NICK LOST didn't shape too badly in a cross-country event at Punchestown last time and, with a tongue strap now applied, he could be worth chancing if the market speaks in his favour. Twoshotsoftequila is considered a danger on the back of his Doncaster win and Taste The Fear, who was third in the same race, should be on the premises.
