12/1
Has enjoyed a productive campaign in handicap chases, gaining his third success of the season when readily making all at Plumpton (17f, good) in September. Shaped as if still in good form when third over hurdles the following month, so he's not taken lightly back over fences.

Dual-winning hurdler who has made a promising start over fences this season, no extra only close home when third in handicap at Carlisle (20f, heavy) last time. Could be ready to open his chase account back down in trip with tongue strap reapplied.

10/3
Had been disputing the lead when falling 2 out in an Irish point and showed fair form in maiden hurdles last spring. After 6 months off, ran to a similar level when second at Huntingdon (16.5f, good) on handicap/chase debut in October. First run for yard after leaving Dan Skelton.

4/1
Returned to form when runner-up on first 2 starts for his current yard and quickly left behind a lesser effort when beating his sole rival at this C&D (soft) in January. However, no match for a pair of younger rivals back here (20.4f) on his latest outing.

Forecasts

Fiston De Becon (8/11), Great Samourai (10/3), Abaya Du Mathan (4/1), Post No Bills (12/1)

Verdict

FISTON DE BECON has been shaping up well in his 3 starts over fences, leading approaching the last before headed in the final 100 yards when third at Carlisle on his latest outing, so he is taken to record a first chase success as he drops back down in trip. Post No Bills has shown improved form this season and is feared most, ahead of Great Samourai.
