Schloss Roxburghe Hotel & Spa Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

A fairly useful winning hurdler who built on a promising chasing debut when landing a 4-runner contest at Carlisle last month. Open to further improvement so big shout up 4 lb.

Winning Irish pointer who showed fairly useful form over hurdles last season, winning twice. Looked rusty after 7 months off when third of 5 in handicap chase at Ayr (20.5f, good to soft) on debut over fences 36 days ago and should be sharper for that.

It's now 14 runs since his last win in 2021 but he is knocking on the door, second of 11 in handicap chase at Hexham (20.1f, soft) 57 days ago. In the mix again back up in trip.

Fourth sole start in Irish points and promising start under Rules when landing 12-runner 2m Ayr novice a year ago. Looked beat when falling both starts since, however, so bit to prove now chasing on return.

Irish point/hurdles winner who made a winning chase bow at Wetherby on return last month, impressing with his attitude. Disappointed at Carlisle since but type to bounce back. 2 lb out of handicap.

Bumper/hurdles winner who went close to making a winning return at Carlisle 5 weeks ago. Should make a chaser but is 4 lb out of the handicap.
