DragonBet Supporting Welsh Racing Handicap Chase

Getting the hang of thing over fences, taking his form to a new level when scoring at Sedgefield in March. Excuses at Huntingdon later that month so can bounce back if ready to go.

Remains a sketchy jumper over fences but capitalised on some lenient handicapping to enhance his good course record here in 11-runner C&D handicap in May. Well held off revised mark next 2 starts later that month but off since and has been eased 2 lb.

It was a poor race in which he opened his chase account at Plumpton a year ago and he has generally underperformed since. Left Lucy Wadham and had a breathing operation since last seen over 4 months ago.

Has shown improved form since joining his current yard, completing hat-trick at Leicester when last seen in January, his resolution on show yet again in gaining another verdict of a length or less. Capable of even better over fences so big shout if ready to go after 9 months off.

Dual hurdles winner but hasn't looked a natural in this sphere despite being placed on his last 2 starts.

Took advantage of his fall in the weights when recording a third win over fences at Uttoxeter (16f, soft) in July. Never involved in 2 runs on the Flat in August but hinted at still being in form back over jumps last 2 starts.

Last of 5 sole start in bumpers and down the field in varied events over hurdles. Makes chase debut.

Poor and long-standing maiden under Rules.
