Enhanced his good record at Wetherby when successful over 2m in March. Confirmed he retain plenty of ability when third on return at that venue (19.7f) in November but fell heavily here last time. Back over fences.
|
Dual winner over hurdles last season and confirmed the encouragement of chasing debut when scoring comfortably at Leicester recently. More to come in this sphere and makes most appeal.
|
Easy winner on second start in points and impressed when making winning Rules/hurdles debut at Ffos Las (20f, soft) in January. Back on track switched to chasing at Leicester recently and should build on that.
|
Dual hurdles winner who scored twice over fences at Kelso last season. Unlucky not to add another win at that course last month (suffered interference at a crucial stage of the race) and unseated at Ayr since. Remains of interest.
|
Fairly useful winner over hurdles but very much a chasing type and built on an encouraging start in this sphere when getting off the mark at Wetherby in November. Backed it up with a solid third at Doncaster and may yet have more to offer.
|
Tenth of 11 in handicap hurdle (13/2) at Navan (22f, heavy) 41 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. First run for yard after leaving Gordon Elliott. Something to find on form.
|
Showed the benefit of his reappearance spin at Wetherby when landing a 4-runner handicap at the same course (15.2f, heavy) in November. Creditable third at Newbury since and shouldn't be dismissed.

Forecasts
Cerendipity (9/4), Happy And Fine (7/2), Regal Blue (9/2), Ned Tanner (9/2), Gallic Geordie (7/1), Albert's Back (12/1), Arctic Ambition (50/1)
HAPPY AND FINE has been suited by a switch to chasing this season and, given he had something to spare when scoring at Leicester recently, he's worth a chance to double his tally in this sphere. Regal Blue is one to consider after a solid chasing debut and Ned Tanner looked unlucky not to win on his last completed start, so he's another one to consider.
- Regal Blue9/2
- Ned Tanner9/2
