Coral Committed To Safer Gambling Handicap Chase

Got off the mark in 2m 4f novice hurdle at Sedgefield in February but pulled up on handicap debut at Newbury following month. Worth another chance now chasing on return (Irish point winner).

Fairly useful hurdles winner who was in good form over fences towards the end of last season, scoring in determined fashion at Newcastle. Failed to come on for recent return when sixth of 7 in handicap chase (11/1) at Kelso (21.6f, soft) 30 days ago, so has bit to prove now.

Won twice over fences at Perth for Gordon Elliott last summer. Travelled like the best horse at the weights but finished tired when third of 6 in handicap chase at Kelso (17.1f, soft) 30 days ago. Not discounted nevertheless.

Three-time hurdle winner last season. Posted a pair of good runner-up efforts in 2m Hexham handicap hurdles at the start of the summer but could only manage a well-held fifth of 6 on his recent chase debut there. Others preferred.

In good form in the summer prior to being pulled up at Cartmel and Perth. Shaped as if not fully wound up when ninth behind Everyday Champagne over C&D last month and this veteran would be folly to ignore from 3 lb below his last winning mark (has 8 course wins to his name).

Dual winner at 20f over hurdles who made an encouraging start over fences when fourth of 13 in handicap chase at Musselburgh (20.3f, good to soft) 33 days ago. Has the scope to do better over fences and he's a player from just out of the weights.
