Flat winner though is a long-standing maiden over jumps. Latest second of 14 in novice chase at Thurles (18.3f, soft) 19 days ago was his best effort over fences and can make presence felt again back in a handicap.

Back on scoreboard when taking 7-runner handicap chase (16/1) at Chepstow (19.4f, good to soft) in April. Not in same form at Ffos Las following month and off since. Back up in trip.

Dual chase winner in France early last year and seems to have turned a corner since a summer wind-op, building on placed effort over hurdles to win 9-runner handicap chase at Worcester (20f, good to soft) in August. Good second at Bangor since and he's a player again.

Placed in an Irish point and left his previous form under Rules behind when landing a Stratford maiden hurdle on second start for current yard in August. Lesser efforts both starts since, however, including on chase bow.

French import who was backed at big prices when cashing in on a reduced mark at Hereford (19.7f) in April. Close second at Ffos Las later that month and showed aptitude for chasing at Ludlow on return 26 days ago. Should come on for that.

Resumed from 6 months off with a solid third of 7 in handicap chase at Hereford (20.9f, good to firm). Might have found next run coming too soon so worth another chance with Harry Cobden taking over.

Low-mileage sort who was third in a pair of 3m handicap chases in the spring. Decent second here (25f) on return 4 weeks ago and bold show likely back down in trip.

Did the job well when doubling his tally at Leicester (22.7f, good to firm) last winter, but it was all downhill thereafter and was given a considerate return from a 7-month break over an inadequate trip at Hereford 5 weeks ago.

Joined current yard in the summer and left his previous efforts well behind to land 2m5f Fontwell handicap chase. Decent second at Plumpton last month and excuses either side of that. Not taken lightly.

No show over hurdles but fared better when runner-up at Ffos Las on his chase bow last term. However, badly let down by his jumping on his next outing and offered little after 5 months off 5 weeks ago. 5 lb out of handicap.

Lightly-raced ex-Irish hurdles winner who has offered precious little for present connections, including over fences. Headgear applied. 6 lb out of handicap.

Forecasts

Benny Silver (2/1), Ballinoulart (5/1), Imac Wood (11/2), Family Pot (13/2), King Of The Story (11/1), Kalpaga (11/1), The Boat (12/1), Vocito (18/1), Dream Jet (18/1), Noah's Light (33/1), Billingsley (33/1), Beannaigh Do (50/1)

Verdict

FAMILY POT might have found his last run coming too soon so is worth another chance to build on his return back on his last winning mark. This does look competitive, though, with Imac Wood and Ballinoulart heading the dangers.
