Improved since tongue tied, winning handicap chases at Warwick/Fontwell last winter. Clearly wasn't 100% when beaten a long way at Kelso when last seen in March and will have a serious chance if back to his best.

10/3
Dual scorer over fences earlier this year, including over C&D, and back to his best when runner-up at Carlisle (2m, soft) in October. Let down by jumping on latest outing at Kelso but will be a danger to all if more sure-footed this time.

3/1
Fairly useful winning hurdler in France but yet to fire in 3 starts so far for his current trainer. However, he's not one to write off as he goes chasing with his yard continuing in good form and armed with a handy 4-y-o allowance.

5/2
Consistent type who was runner-up twice over C&D last season his latest success was gained here, off a 1 lb higher mark in February 2022. Again hit the crossbar on his reappearance at Sedgefield (17f, heavy) and he should have a part to play.

7/1
Fair maiden on the Flat but no real impact in 4 starts over hurdles, pulled up when well backed on debut for new yard at Market Rasen last month. Stamina remains suspect and probably best watched switched to fences here from 5 lb out of the weights.

Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who has shown an aptitude for chasing, albeit without really threatening. Looks up against from 9 lb out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Six One Nine (5/2), Jolly Nellerie (3/1), Gandhi Maker (10/3), Tropical Talent (7/1), Unit Sixtyfour (17/2), Zihuatanejo (10/1)

Verdict

This looks pretty trappy and the percentage call is to side with UNIT SIXTYFOUR, who didn't do much wrong switched to fences last season prior to misfiring on his latest start during the spring. Given his otherwise solid record in this sphere, that can probably be put down to a 'bad day in the office'. Jolly Nellerie is of interest now tackling fences and he is feared most ahead of C&D winners Gandhi Maker and Six One Nine.
