9/4
Has the physique for chasing and bettered his hurdles form at the first attempt when making a successful debut in this sphere at Catterick last month, making most. More to come and can defy 5 lb rise.

Lightly raced for current yard and almost landed a gamble over fences at Sedgefield, finding only one too good. Decent third back over hurdles since and not taken lightly.

12/1
Fair hurdler/chaser in France but sent off at 100/1 when pulled up in Catterick handicap hurdle on return from long absence for new stable in January. Much better when fourth here since so could well be working up to something back over fences now.

Enjoyed an excellent season over fences last term, scoring 3 times, and resumed winning ways at Catterick (19.2f) during the Christmas period. Undone by higher marks since though not seen to best effect when fourth of 7 in handicap chase (14/1) at Carlisle (20f, heavy) 26 days ago.

11/10
Placed on a couple of occasions over hurdles and opened chase account at the fourth attempt in good style over C&D (heavy) last month, making all. Just a respectable second under a penalty at Sedgefield the following week, not for the first time looking very awkward off the bridle. Not dismissed.

Forecasts

Take Centre Stage (11/10), Chase A Fortune (9/4), Heritier (6/1), Trac (15/2), Iwa (12/1)

Verdict

CHASE A FORTUNE is built for chasing so it was no surprise that he justified market confidence first time up over fences at Catterick last month. Open to further improvement, he can defy a 5 lb rise. Take Centre Stage is not straightforward no doubt, but he did score easily over C&D under similar conditions 2 starts back so may emerge as the main threat.
