Won 5 on the bounce over fences in 2020/21 but hasn't shown much at all since. Plenty to prove after 11 months off (sold from Gary Moore £2,500 in March).

Veteran whose losing run is mounting up and didn't fire at Cartmel when last seen in May. However, did go close here off 3 lb higher in April so capable.

Fairly useful winning handicap chaser in 2022/23 in France. Claimed for €13,001 in April and better effort for this yard when third of 7 in handicap chase (10/1) at Wetherby (24.2f, heavy) 27 days ago. Could have more to come given French form.

Dual winner over fences last autumn. Ended season in a slump but took advantage of lower hurdles mark at Uttoxeter last month. Not so good at Bangor since and subsequently sold from Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero 10,000 gns later in December.

Better than ever when making a winning return here (21f) and took another step forward when following up over C&D. Decent second at Southwell since and solid claims.

Won 2 of first 3 starts over fences for this yard 2 years ago but hasn't shown much in a handful of runs since, albeit shaping as if better for the run at Huntingdon last month. Headgear applied back over fences.

Forecasts

Tom Creen (11/10), Heritier (11/4), Duo D'Enfer (7/2), Rafferty (12/1), Touch Kick (12/1), High Up In The Air (33/1)

Verdict

TOM CREEN has an excellent record around here and arrives at the top of his game, so is the solid option with his rivals arriving with something to prove. Touch Kick is capable off his current mark so may emerge as the biggest threat.

  1. Tom Creen11/10
  2. Touch Kick12/1
  3. Duo D'Enfer7/2
