5/2
Fairly-useful hurdler who found improvement when second on handicap chase debut at Kempton (20.5f) in November. Ran well for a long way when third over extended 22f at Newbury 25 days ago and well worth considering granted return to this less demanding test.

7/2
Third chase win of his career when seeing off 6 rivals over C&D on Boxing Day and he ran creditably despite an error-strewn round of jumping when third at Leicester (20f) 17 days ago.

Successful over hurdles at Ayr (24.3f) last spring but not kicked on as expected this term, including in a couple of chase tries at Kempton/Newbury, his jumping failing to pass muster latterly. Cheekpieces on 1st time here.

Showed benefit of first start for 6 months when third over extended 25f at Ludlow in December, his stamina ebbing away late on. Not in quite the same form despite filling same spot at Doncaster (3m) but return to this shorter trip can help with blinkers enlisted.

Recorded a facile success eased in class/equipped with cheekpieces over hurdles at Taunton (19f) in December. However, that proved a weak race and unable to match that when fourth here (21.3f) 6 weeks ago. Tongue tie added now chasing though, and not dismissed for leading yard.

Appreciated the test of stamina when winning a 17f handicap hurdle at Exeter 13 months ago. Hasn't gone without promise in a couple of chase starts late last year and this drop back in trip rates a plus from an easing mark.

Fair hurdler/chaser in France but not much encouragement for current stable. Hard to warm to operating from out of the weights.

Forecasts

King's Threshold (5/2), Sheldon (7/2), Dreaming Blue (5/1), Off To A Flyer (11/2), Moorland Rambler (13/2), Individualiste (7/1), I Love You Sivola (20/1)

Verdict

It could just pay to take a chance on DREAMING BLUE who ran a cracker under positive tactics when third at Ludlow on his penultimate start and a return to a right-handed track (tended to jump right at Doncaster latest) with blinkers enlisted could see Anthony Honeyball's charge in a better light. King's Threshold remains the type to do better in this sphere and he's feared, along with chase-debutant Individualiste.
