Racing TV Handicap Chase

Multiple Flat/hurdles winner who made a winning chase debut at Kempton during the spring. Patchy form since but resumed winning ways with a career best at Sedgefield last week, plenty in hand. Needs considering under a penalty.

Improved form switched to fences, off the mark on debut in this sphere at Newcastle and doubled his tally at Ayr (16.5f, good). Too free at Cartmel next time and looked held in fourth when falling at the last at Stratford when last seen in July.

Course winner in May and comes here on the back of a career-best success in 5-runner handicap chase at Stratford (19.4f, soft) 40 days ago. 7 lb rise looks justified and big shout.

Got off the mark at third time of asking when easily landing 4-runner novice hurdle at Doncaster in December. However, down the field both starts in handicaps since so something to prove now chasing (placed on last of 3 starts in Irish points).

Got off the mark over fences at Stratford in April and a winner at Cartmel and Southwell since. Poor efforts next 2 starts but bounced back when second at Plumpton. Return to further will suit.

Won novices' handicap chase on final outing for Paul Nicholls at Warwick (16.2f) in May and ran to a similar level on first 2 starts for current yard. However, below-par effort at Stratford (19.4f) in July and remains unproven beyond 2m. Respected run back over hurdles latest.

Made a winning return at Perth (2m4f) in May but out of sorts last 3 starts.
