Had another breathing op and has taken his form to a new level this term, completing his hat-trick in 3m2f Cheltenham handicap last month. Earlier put in a superb jumping display to bag Grand Sefton at Aintree. Likely player once more.

It's now 11 runs since his last win in 2022 but this very useful chaser wasn't disgraced when sixth of 8 to King Turgeon in handicap chase at Cheltenham (26f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up.

Much improved since sent chasing and he went 2-2 with a ready victory in 7-runner handicap chase at Chepstow (26.2f, heavy) 11 days ago. Up 5 lb but has more to offer. Big shout.

Forecasts

Katate Dori (11/8), King Turgeon (9/2), Sizable Sam (7/1), My Silver Lining (8/1), Credo (10/1), Take Your Time (12/1), Collectors Item (14/1), The Big Breakaway (22/1), Ballygrifincottage (25/1), Ask Me Early (28/1)

Verdict

KATATE DORI has created an excellent impression since sent over fences and a 5 lb rise for his comfortable Chepstow victory doesn't look sufficient to prevent him from going 3-3. David Pipe's resurgent King Turgeon rates the obvious threat in his bid to complete a four-timer, although the likes of Take Your Time, Ballygrifincottage and Collectors Item can all have a say too in this cracking handicap.
