Went close at Hexham on his return from an absence in October but has gone backwards in his 3 outings since. Has something to prove at present.

Looked set to go close when unseating 2 out over C&D in November and not seen to best effect when 6¼ lengths sixth at Plumpton since. Has first-time visor added to his tongue tie. One of the more likely types in this line-up.

Pretty useful chaser at his peak. Nothing like the same form these days but did show he can make an impact from his reduced mark when 9 lengths second at Catterick (2m) over Christmas. Needs to prove he can back that up.

Handicap hurdle winner in Ireland who showed his first encouragement for new yard over this trip here last month, keeping on from too far back. Player if taking to fences at the first time of asking.

All 6 career wins have been gained at Hexham. Merely closed up late when third over 2m there on his last starts in December. Back up in trip.

Dual course winner this winter, latterly over this trip 26 days ago. Appeared to have a bit in hand on that occasion so a 4 lb rise may not stop him.

Remains a maiden after 18 runs, although he fared about as well as could be expected when fourth over 21f here from out of the handicap last month. Able to race off his proper mark this time.

Looked a bit temperamental over hurdles and comfortably held in 2 chase starts at the end of 2023. Still early in his career and Brian Hughes up but others arrive with much more pressing claims.

Forecasts

Bebside Banter (11/8), Big Bee Hive (11/4), Blazing Hartingo (6/1), Methusalar (8/1), Cudgel (14/1), Augharue (16/1), Mizuma (18/1), Dakota Moirette (25/1), Stowaway John (50/1)

Verdict

BEBSIDE BANTER can make light of a 4 lb rise and extend his unbeaten Sedgefield chase record to 3. Methusalar looked set to go close when departing 2 out over C&D in November and is second choice ahead of chase newcomer Big Bee Hive, who caught the eye in a hurdle here last time.

  1. Bebside Banter11/8
  2. Methusalar8/1
  3. Big Bee Hive11/4
