Endless Escapet24
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-0| J: Ben Jones| T: Ben Clarke| OR:  124| D
Ex-pointer who enjoyed a productive campaign over hurdles last season and shaped as if she'd come on for her chasing/seasonal debut behind Arclight at Exeter 24 days ago. No forlorn hope.

Game On For Gloryp22
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-0| J: Bryony Frost| T: L Wadham| OR:  119| C
Solid form in bumpers scored over hurdles at Lingfield in December 2021. Understandably needed the run at Wetherby (first appearance for 2 years), then showed plenty of ability remains when second to Marsh Wren over C&D on chasing debut last time.

Marsh Wren22
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-0| J: C Gethings| T: S Edmunds| OR:  127| CD
Winner of 2 of her 3 starts over hurdles last term and hit the ground running over fences when landing a 9-runner handicap (two of these rivals) over C&D on reappearance. Looks the main threat to Arclight.

Moviddyt22
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-0| J: R T Dunne| T: Noel Williams| OR:  118| D
rish point winner who won twice over hurdles last season and has made an encouraging start in this sphere. Might be outclassed up in grade, however.

Somespring Specialt56
Age: 5|  Weight: 11-0| J: Ben Godfrey| T: A J Honeyball| OR:  112
Won twice over hurdles in the spring but made an unpromising start to her chasing career when pulled up at Wincanton on return, possibly amiss (reportedly lost shoe. Others preferred.

Arclight24
Age: 4|  Weight: 10-11| J: N de Boinville| T: N J Henderson| OR:  133
Fairly useful on the Flat and ran to a similar level when winning her first 2 starts over hurdles. Much better over fences, however, again jumping fluently when making it two from two in this sphere in a listed contest at Exeter last time. Obvious claims.

Forecasts

Arclight (8/13), Marsh Wren (11/2), Endless Escape (7/1), Game On For Glory (8/1), Moviddy (12/1), Somespring Special (25/1)

Verdict

ARCLIGHT isn't the biggest but she's shown a real suitability for chasing to this point and she's fancied to maintain her unbeaten record over fences. Marsh Wren could pose the main threat having made a successful reappearance over C&D and Endless Escape can't be fully dismissed.
