Fourteen runs since his last win in 2021 and pulled up in handicap chase at Hexham (24.2f, heavy) 24 days ago. Not easy to make a case for.

First run since leaving Nicky Richards when bagging 12-runner handicap chase at Ayr (20.5f) in November. Tongue tied when a creditable fourth of 5 in handicap chase at Catterick (25.2f, soft) 48 days ago so needs considering.

Dual point winner who made a winning chase debut at Musselburgh (2Β½m) on New Year's Day. Good third of 6 in handicap chase at Ayr (20.5f, heavy) 49 days ago. Enters calculations once more eased 1 lb.

Completed a hat-trick in 6-runner handicap chase (6/4) at Carlisle (20.9f, soft) 16 days ago by 3ΒΎ lengths from The White Volcano. Up another 7 lb but he's not taken lightly in his current mood.

Took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 11 in handicap chase at Carlisle (20f, heavy) 8 days ago, finishing well under a patient ride. Interesting off a reduced mark.

Multiple point winner who has been placed only start in bumpers and a pair of 2m4f Newcastle novice hurdles. No forlorn hope now going chasing.

Fair hurdler/chaser in France but yet to match that form in two hurdling runs for his current yard at Catterick and Newcastle. Needs this switch back to fences to spark improvement.

Faliled to build on earlier promise when a below form third of 6 in handicap chase at Catterick (19.2f, soft, 6/4) 82 days ago. Remains handily weighted so shouldn't be written off with few miles on the clock,

Runner-up in an Irish point and posted his best run of the season when third of 6 to Largy Train in handicap chase (14/1) at Carlisle (20.9f, soft) on his debut over fences 16 days ago. Not discounted.

Dual chase winner with quite a consistent record. Probably needed the run after 4 months off when pulled up in handicap chase at Musselburgh (20.3f, soft) 57 days ago so can take a step forward now.

It's now 25 runs since his last win in 2019 but he got back on track when second of 6 to Largy Train in handicap chase (18/1) at Carlisle (20.9f, soft) 16 days ago. Possibilities.

Forecasts

Grand Voyage (4/1), Empty Nest (4/1), Stowaway John (4/1), Largy Train (9/2), Indian Louis (11/2), Raceview Road (6/1), Everyday Champagne (10/1), Toombridge (14/1), The White Volcano (20/1), Keep Wondering (25/1), Iwa (28/1), Ex S'elance (33/1)

Verdict

Lots of these enter calculations but the vote goes to GRAND VOYAGE who hinted at a revival when fourth at Carlisle last time and now figures on an attractive mark. Empty Nest fluffed his lines at Catterick but still heads the list of dangers at these weights with Indian Louis, Stowaway John and Largy Train all in the mix too.
