Smart chaser at best for Willie Mullins (good record on heavy). Little show in for current yard but dropping in the weights.

Mixed bag since his 2 Wetherby victories in 2022/23 but unexposed over this sort of trip and back on a workable mark.

Fairly useful hurdler for Gordon Elliott but didn't really fire in two chase outings for that yard. Starts out for a new yard after 4 months off but others make more appeal.

Scored at Perth in June last year and generally held form well since, albeit he was pulled up at Market Rasen when last seen 7 months ago. Hard to know if he'll be tuned up for this.

15/2
17/2, good third of 8 in handicap chase at this C&D (heavy) 24 days ago. Benefited from a waiting ride last time and this should be run to suit, so worthy of interest from a potentially lenient mark.

5/1
Made up into a pretty useful novice hurdler last term, winning twice, and has shown promise in this sphere. Hasn't fired the last three starts but retains from a short break on an appealing mark with blinkers applied.

Back-to-back winner of novice hurdles last season and has offered encouragement over fences, fifth at Ayr last time. Not progressing but handicapper has dropped him another 1 lb.

Tricky customer but capitalised on a reduced mark over C&D in September. Bounced back returned to this sphere at Ascot last time and no surprise if he makes an impact.

Dual winner over hurdles who has shaped as if retaining ability this term. Should take to the new discipline and warrants consideration from a handy mark.

Ended long losing run when taking 7-runner handicap chase at Ludlow (16f, soft) and backed that up when scoring over same C&D in April. Seemed found out by a rise there last time and these fences are tougher.

Prolific early in his chasing career but has completely lost his way now, so needs cheekpieces to perk him up.

Fairly useful hurdler/chaser who made a winning return over fences at Worcester in October 2022. Largely disappointed since, though, and others more appealing.

Forecasts

Picanha (3/1), Hitching Jacking (4/1), Collectors Item (5/1), Post Chaise (5/1), Red Rookie (15/2), No Risk Des Flos (8/1), Risk And Roll (11/1), One True King (12/1), Santonito (18/1), Gloire D'Athon (20/1), Full Back (20/1), Sam Barton (25/1), Saint Arvans (33/1), Broken Quest (50/1), Fighter Allen (50/1)

Verdict

POST CHAISE arrives at the top of his game and is fancied to go one better than his good second at Southwell last month. Collectors Item is one to be interested with blinkers applied after a short break and Risk And Roll warrants consideration returning to the scene of his last win.
