3/1

Made all in 2m handicap hurdle here last winter and loads of promise to glean from a trio of chase efforts this time around, collared only late when second to Ardera Cross over C&D 42 days ago. Since had a wind op. Big shout.

20/1

Ardera Cross^p⁴²

Age: 13| Weight: 10-9| J: Danny McMenamin| T: W Young Jnr| OR: 98| CD

10/1

Gained her sixth C&D win in 6-runner handicap chase (heavy) 42 days ago by 2 lengths from Fia Fuinidh. Also captured this prize 12 months ago so this veteran is very much one to consider again.

Form: PP9521

Forecasts

Netywell (85/40), Fia Fuinidh (3/1), Travail D'Orfevre (7/2), Moonlighter (15/2), Ardera Cross (10/1), Duty Calls (10/1), Rocco Storm (20/1)

FIA FUINIDH has taken well to fences and is fancied to build on his second to Ardera Cross over C&D last time and gain a first success in this sphere. William Young's veteran is feared most in his bid to follow up last year's win in this event, with fellow C&D scorers Netywell and Rocco Storm also firmly in the picture.
