Bet At racingtv.com Novices' Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

In first-time cheekpieces, much improved from his chase debut when justifying support in handicap at Leicester in December and has scored at Wetherby and Catterick since. Shaped as if still in form when third in a class 2 at Uttoxeter since and player back down in grade.

Point winner who looked a useful prospect sent hurdling when making all at Ayr in December 2022. Shaped as if retaining ability in face of stiff task when behind Giovinco on return/chase debut at Newcastle and similar form when third at Carlisle. More to come up in trip.

Hurdle winner who stepped up on chase debut when scoring at Southwell (24.3f) but let down by his attitude when only fourth at Kempton next time. Back on track fitted with a visor when second at Doncaster last month but remains to be seen if headgear has desired effect again.

Won sole start in points and confirmed promise of eye-catching hurdling debut up in trip when landing 21f Warwick maiden. Creditable second under a penalty at Southwell since but probably best watched switched to fences after 2 years off.

Bumper winner who displayed fair form over fences in France last year. Similar form starting out for this yard after 3 months off when fourth at Carlisle 4 weeks ago and entitled to come on for that.
