5/2
Hurdles winner who improved for switch to chasing, staying on to lead close home when off the mark in 11-runner handicap chase at Ascot (21f) in March. Not fired in 2 starts this winter but he comes here back on last winning mark and application of a tongue tie could help.

10/3
A three-time hurdles winner last season, latterly in 7-runner handicap at Warwick 12 months ago. Below that level next 2 starts and never figured under a patient ride on return/chase debut at Uttoxeter (20f, heavy) 13 days ago. Type to do better.

7/2
Fairly useful hurdle/chase winner who ran another solid race with blinkers refitted when runner-up in 5-runner handicap chase at this course (19.9f, soft) 6 weeks ago. Visor now the headgear of choice and he's worth a crack at this longer trip.

11/4
Lightly-raced winning hurdler who made a solid start in this sphere when second in 10-runner handicap chase at Southwell (20.4f) 4 weeks ago, jumping well in the main. Feasible to think he can build on that.

8/1
Useful at his best but more miss than hit last term and he could only run to a similar level as on return when well held third of 7 in handicap chase at Hereford (25.2f, soft) 12 days ago. Needs to step up despite tumbling mark.

Forecasts

King's Threshold (5/2), Kaituna River (11/4), Seefin (10/3), Hystery Bere (7/2), Laskalin (8/1), Swapped (8/1)

Verdict

It could be worth siding with HYSTERY BERE who matched his previous best in this sphere when runner-up over shorter here 6 weeks ago and this longer trip is worth exploring on balance. Lightly raced 8-y-o Kaituna River ought to have more to offer and is feared along with top weight King's Threshold. Market confidence behind Seefin would also need to be viewed positively.

  1. Hystery Bere7/2
