Coral Best Odds Guaranteed Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Still capable of high-class form despite his advancing years, as shown by his fine second back in a handicap at Ascot (16.8f, good to soft) on return. Sound claims off same mark.

Useful chaser who made an encouraging return after a patchy 2022/23 campaign when third in Haldon Gold Cup at Exeter. However, ran poorly at Aintree since so difficult to know what to expect.

Matched useful hurdles form at the first attempt when making a winning return in novice chase at Carlisle in October. Not in same form in listed chase at Cheltenham following month but looks on a good mark switched to a handicap.

Well held on 2m Ascot reappearance but looked back to his best when winning a match race at Fontwell 2 weeks ago. Will find this tougher.
