5/1
Very lightly raced since ending a losing run at Newbury (16.4f, heavy) 2 years ago and went backwards from an encouraging reappearance effort when well-beaten fourth in 5-runner handicap at aforementioned venue 7 weeks ago. Handicapper has given him a chance at least.

10/1
Had a good spell during second half of last year, resuming winning ways at Ludlow (2m, heavy) before a good second back at that venue later in December. Disappointed at Taunton 6 weeks ago but no surprise to see him bounce back.

7/2
Dual 2m hurdles winner last season who shaped better than on his reappearance when fifth at Ludlow (21f) in November. Underwhelming display at Kempton followed however and switch to chasing needs to have positive effect now. Cheekpieces applied.

4/6
Maiden hurdle winner (at 2m) who, refitted with blinkers, justified good support to open his account over fences at Ffos Las (2m, heavy) 16 days ago. Consistency hasn't been his strong suit but definite claims with a repeat here.

Forecasts

Hatos (4/6), Toothless (7/2), The Russian Doyen (5/1), Dr T J Eckleburg (10/1)

Verdict

HATOS crucially jumped better in refitted blinkers (retained here) as he opened his chase account with a bit to spare at Ffos Las 16 days ago and a repeat should see him firmly in the mix again from a 7 lb higher mark. Dr T J Eckleburg can also figure if dispelling a lesser run at Taunton, whilst the market may prove a useful guide in assessing the chances of chase-debutant Toothless.

  1. Hatos4/6
  2. Dr T J Eckleburg10/1
  3. The Russian Doyen5/1
