Racing Partnership Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Has returned from a break an improved performer for a new yard, seemingly aided by a tongue tie, winning handicaps at Fontwell (easily) and over 21f here in recent months. Further 6 lb rise may not stop him if his stamina holds back up in trip.

Largely progressive over hurdles last term (scored twice) and took well to chasing at first attempt when bolting up in 4-runner novice handicap at Bangor (3m) in May. Respectable second of 3 at Aintree (25f) since.

Won 4 handicap hurdles in 2020 and returned to form when runner-up at Ffos Las in January. Hasn't reproduced that since but latest Market Rasen fourth was more encouraging. This is just his second chase start.

Unreliable sort. First run since leaving Miss Chloe Boxall when 80/1, pulled up in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (3m, soft) 78 days ago, tailing off some way out. Miles out of the handicap.
