1/5
Really exciting novice chaser who took the step up to Grade 1 level in his stride at Sandown (2m, soft) in December. It's highly likely he'll stretch his unbeaten record over fences to 4.

50/1
Big improver with 4 handicap wins in the first half of the season but below par when last seen in November and major surprise were he to shake up his stable-companion.

5/1
Smart hurdler, winning Kempton listed and Wincanton Grade 2 on return this autumn. Would have been a remote third to Sir Gino and Ballyburn but for falling at the last on his Kempton chase debut but openers over fences don't come much tougher than that. Sure to improve.

16/1
Won handicaps at Uttoxeter and Wetherby on his first 2 outings over fences and has mostly performed with credit in defeat since. Vulnerable in this company, though.

Forecasts

L'eau Du Sud (1/5), Rubaud (5/1), Tedley (16/1), Riskintheground (50/1)

Verdict

The last 2 runnings of this have gone to Edwardstone and Jonbon and L'EAU DU SUD could be of a similar calibre himself judged on the way he took care of the opposition in the Henry VIII at Sandown before Christmas. Rubaud can follow him home.
