Neil And Ged's 60th Handicap Chase

Ran with credit, in first-time blinkers, when third of 7 in handicap chase at Perth (23.8f, good to soft) 49 days ago. Not the easiest to win with, though.

C&D winner who was returning from 7 months off when second of 2 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (24f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Entitled to build on that and is 5 lb lower now.

Back from 11-month absence when solid third of 5 in handicap chase at Warwick (25.4f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Becoming well treated and merits consideration.

Far from disgraced when fourth of 9 in C&D handicap last month and dropped 2 lb since. Tongue strap back on. Not out of things.

C&D winner 12 months ago and likely needed first outing since when fifth of 7 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (23.9f, good to firm, 6/1) 24 days ago. Could be a player back over fences here. Tongue strap on first time.

Scored at second attempt for this yard/over fences at Southwell (20.4f) in December 2021 but winless since and hasn't really threatened over hurdles on recent starts. Bit to prove currently.

Dual hurdles/chase winner for Paul Nolan in Ireland but yet to trouble the judge for current connections and makes limited appeal.

Left his chase debut form behind when third in handicap at Uttoxeter (24f, soft) last month but wasn't in same form on quicker ground at Market Rasen latest and others make more appeal.
