cavani.co.uk Bow Tie Bonanza Handicap Chase

Had wind op before completing his hat-trick on chasing debut at Musselburgh (20.3f) in November. However, possibly amiss when last of 4 (back from 3 months off) at same course since and percentage call is to look elsewhere.

Winner of sole completed start between the flags and showed promise in 3 starts over hurdles, latest when fourth of 13 in novice at Southwell (20.4f, good to soft) 33 days ago. Warrants respect on chasing bow.

Runner-up sole start in Irish points and improved on his hurdles form when making a winning start in this sphere at Warwick (16.2f, soft) last month. Just 3 lb higher now and may have more to offer yet.

Winning start over fences at Perth (2m) last May and improved upped to this trip when doubling his chase tally in 4-runner Newcastle handicap in November. Far from disgraced off this mark at Ayr subsequently and must enter calculations.

Won an Aintree handicap hurdle (20f) last June and largely run with credit in defeat over fences since. However, well below par when last seen at Uttoxeter in September and is still looking for his first win over the larger obstacles.

Made third start over fences a winning one when narrowly taking Market Rasen handicap (19.2f) in December and has proved admirably consistent over hurdles since. Remains fairly treated and may be capable of better in this sphere. Cheekpieces back on.

Back-to-back winner over fences in March of 2022 and returned to form when second of 9 in handicap chase at Carlisle (20f, soft, 11/2) 13 days ago. Likely player off same mark.
