Winning hurdler/chaser in Ireland and best effort for this yard when running into a place at Sedgefield (21f, heavy) last month, his jumping still not without blemish. Off the same mark back on better ground here and respected.

Back to winning ways at Huntingdon (19.9f, 3 runners) in March but run of good form came to an end at Southwell last time. More needed.

Little impact the last twice and will be of more interest when returning to Cartmel (has a record 8 wins there).

Won a couple of small-field handicap chases last season but lost his form and might need this after 5 months off.

Has enjoyed plenty of success, though a while since he ran to his best. Very well handicapped if finding his mojo again but is unproven over this far.

Showed fair form on both starts in France but yet to fire for current stable, running a moody race on chase debut when last seen in January. Has had a breathing operation.

Fair hurdles winner who remains with untapped potential over fences. Interesting with promising conditional taking over.

9/2
Back-to-back winner over fences in March 2022 and has returned to form of late, seeing things out surprisingly well considering he again took a notably strong hold when second at Haydock last time. Could figure.

6/4
Has made a cracking start over fences, value for extra as he came clear in Hexham handicap over this trip 10 days ago (in control when rider lost irons flat, found plenty). More to come and sure to go close again.

Forecasts

Ribeye (6/4), Limerick Leader (10/3), Croagh Patrick (9/2), Marshalled (11/2), Luckofthedraw (12/1), Joke Dancer (18/1), Ice Coast (33/1), Tonto's Spirit (40/1), Big Difference (50/1)

Verdict

RIBEYE can continue his fine start over fences with a third win of the year. He was value for extra when scoring at Hexham recently and should have even more to offer. Marshalled wasn't beaten far at Sedgefield and is respected off the same mark on this better ground. Limerick Leader is another to consider.
