Enhanced his decent strike rate over fences at Punchestown 3 weeks ago but not sure to be in same form given overall record.

Useful chaser who won at Worcester last summer. However, well held next 2 starts and returning from 9 months off here. Hooded.

11/2
Useful chaser who won 5 times during 2021/22 and outclassed the opposition in a brace of novice hurdles last summer. Built on comeback run when decent fourth back over fences at Worcester and on a workable mark if coming on again.

8/1
Irish raider who added to his tally over fences at Punchestown (2m) 13 months ago. Plenty of creditable efforts in defeat subsequently, including when second of 6 in handicap chase at Warwick (16.2f, good to firm) 39 days ago. However, has little wriggle room from this mark.

7/2
Smart at best on the Flat and completed a 4-timer over hurdles (3 wins in handicaps) for previous yard last season. Even better switched to fences for new stable, making it 2 from 2 in match at Southwell. Needs considering.

Record has become distinctly patchy though he backed up his decent third at Warwick when just denied at Fakenham 4 weeks ago, a late error proving costly. Capable of running a big race again.

Didn't have to improve to win an uncompetitive handicap at Southwell last time so looks vulnerable up 5 lb.

Progressive 4-time winner over hurdles who added to his positive chasing profile when producing a career-best win at Newton Abbot 18 days ago. Sure to go well again up 4 lb.

Forecasts

Noahthirtytwored (5/2), Al Zaraqaan (7/2), Hatcher (11/2), Give Me A Moment (11/2), Sir Tivo (8/1), Espion Du Chenet (8/1), The Greek (10/1), Bathiva (16/1)

Verdict

NOAHTHIRTYTWORED impressed with his resilience when scoring at Newton Abbot last month and looks capable of defying a 4 lb rise. Hatcher isn't the most reliable, but he should have won at Fakenham 4 weeks ago and is only 1 lb higher here. Give Me A Moment is another who's potentially on a good mark.
