9/1
Successful 3 times over fences at around 2m during 2022/23 and took a step back in right direction when second of 5 in handicap chase (9/1) at Sedgefield (16.4f, soft) 8 days ago. Respected.

Back from 8 months off when well held behind My Portia in handicap chase (12/1) at Market Rasen (17.2f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Should be straighter now but his overall record is off-putting.

8/1
Bagged handicap chases at Market Rasen (17.2f) and Sedgefield (17f) last term but yet to hit same heights so far this season and makes limited appeal.

22/1
Veteran who capitalised on some mercy from the assessor when winning Southwell handicap (15.8f) in December. Far from disgraced when runner-up at Huntingdon latest but others look better treated.

Built on good effort at this course when landing 11-runner handicap chase at Market Rasen (17.2f, good to soft, 3/1) 27 days ago by 4 lengths from Orbys River. 9 lb higher now but may be capable of better yet.

9/2
Finished runner-up a couple of times over hurdles and has already bettered that form in this sphere, winning at Ayr (16.5f) last month before posting good second to My Portia in handicap chase at Market Rasen (17.2f, good to soft) 27 days ago, conceding first run. Shortlist material.

Took advantage of a slipping mark when shedding his maiden tag in handicap chase at Bangor (17.4f) in February prior to finishing solid second from 4 lb higher at Huntingdon (16.5f). Disappointed over hurdles when last seen in April but is worth monitoring in market on return. Had wind operation.

Yet to score after 16 attempts but has performed well in all completed starts this season, latest when good second of 9 in handicap hurdle at Chepstow (19.4f, heavy, 9/4) 16 days ago. Could be a player if taking to the larger obstacles.

Found improvement since sent handicapping over hurdles, making the frame at Uttoxeter (15.8f) and Doncaster (19.4f). Goes chasing now and must be taken seriously with drop back in trip a positive.

Forecasts

My Portia (9/4), Orbys River (9/2), Night Jet (7/1), Gwennie May Jem (15/2), Hokelami (8/1), Harel Du Marais (9/1), Sabbathical (9/1), Yellow Jacket (16/1), Abaya Du Mathan (22/1)

Verdict

MY PORTIA is going the right way and remains relatively low mileage over fences. She can score again. Orbys River chased her home at Market Rasen last month and is 4 lb better off here. She rates the chief threat. Chase debutant Gwennie May Jem is also much respected in what looks a competitive contest.
