Bet At racingtv.com Handicap Chase

Fair winner over hurdles who showed aptitude for chasing (at third attempt after a year off) when third of 6 in handicap at Market Rasen (17.2f, good to soft, 14/1) 18 days ago. Claims if building on that.

Won 4 times in a very productive first season over fences but nowhere near that level in 5 starts this term. Tumbling down the weights but percentage call is to look elsewhere. Cheekpieces back on.

Ended time with Richard Hobson with success at Taunton (16.1f) last month but well beaten on debut for new yard at Wincanton 22 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Consistent in 2021 but ran poorly in 4 starts last year and not seen since August. Something to prove on return. Had wind operation.

Seven-race maiden over hurdles and didn't jump well on chase debut here in February.

Notched second handicap win of the campaign in novice event at Kelso (17.1f, good) in September. Not in same form at Bangor later the same month but given a break since and must enter calculations.

Won a 4-runner race at Southwell (15.8f) in June and back to that sort of form when runner-up at Hereford in October. Below that level since, though, and makes limited appeal.

Minor promise in bumpers and over hurdles and remains to be seen if switch to chasing (and first-time cheekpieces) brings about improvement. Worth a second look in the market.

Jumping issues stalled what looked to be a promising chase career and he ran poorly when last seen at Stratford in October. Had wind operation.
