Fairly useful chaser. First run since leaving H&G.Lageneste & Macaire, running below form when unseated rider in hunter chase at Warwick (24f, heavy, 18/1) on UK NH debut 25 days ago.

Just a useful chaser nowadays but boosted an excellent strike rate in this sphere when scoring at Stratford 8 months ago. Looks the one to beat on return.

Not the force of old and, while he was third in a point last month, he's likely to be outclassed here.

Fair chaser. Visored for 1st time, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (23.9f, good to soft, 20/1) 91 days ago. Has made the frame both starts in points, runner-up last time. Not completely dismissed.

Fair form under Rules and has won all 7 outings in points subsequently. This is a tougher assignment than he's been facing but he's an obvious player/

Forecasts

Secret Investor (5/6), Tigerbythetail (2/1), Spyglass Hill (4/1), Bennys King (5/1), Grand Roi (6/1), Sopran Thor (20/1), Cybernetic (22/1), Cooldine Bog (80/1)

Verdict

SECRET INVESTOR still has plenty of class and he's tough to beat in this sphere, so he gets the nod ahead of Tigerbythetail, who has a tremendous record in points. Spyglass Hill is a definite player if he can avoid mistakes.
