Mahler gelding who made a solid start over hurdles and completed an easy task to open his account in a novice at this course 7 months ago. Type to take well to chasing and makes most appeal.

Made a winning hurdling bow in Hereford novice in March last year and improved on next two starts. Bit disappointing on final outing but switched to chasing for return with his stable going well.

5/2
Dual-novice hurdle winner for Olly Murphy and ended last season in reasonable form. Has the physique for chasing and looks a big player on debut for top yard after a wind op.

Useful hurdler. Not quite so good over fences but should strip fitter for his return at Ffos Las in October. Not dismissed.

Fairly useful winner over hurdles who has run with credit over fences on three of his last four starts. Looks vulnerable to less-exposed sorts in this, however.

Winner at Ludlow in March before good third of 4 in handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (18.6f, heavy) 7 months ago. Should take to chasing, so not dismissed.

Runner-up in a bumper and made second hurdles start a winning one at Bangor (19.6f. heavy) last November. Didn't fire subsequently but a break/switch to chasing (ex-pointer) could help.

Forecasts

Tightenourbelts (11/8), Washington (5/2), Jubilee Express (4/1), Llandinabo Lad (10/1), Thankyourluckystar (14/1), Val Dancer (16/1), Inishbiggle (25/1)

Verdict

An interesting novices' handicap chase that could be dominated by chasing debutants, with TIGHTENOURBELTS looking the pick of them given his pointing background. Washington is one to note on debut for Paul Nicholls and Jubilee Express is considered with his stable in such good order.

  1. Tightenourbelts11/8
