16/1
Runner-up in handicap at Southwell (20.4f) on chasing debut in June but went backwards from that effort at Perth next 2 starts. After 4 months off, well held over hurdles at Kempton on Boxing Day, so needs to get back on track having left Patrick Neville.

9/4
Went from strength-to-strength in handicap hurdles last year, bringing up the 5-timer at Carlisle (20f) in October. Ran well when placed on his last 2 starts, third at Bangor (23.2f, heavy) in December, and he's an interesting contender on chase debut.

Multiple winner over hurdles for Tom Lacey and has been thriving given another try over fences for current yard, completing the hat-trick with a comfortable success at Southwell (20.4f, soft) 18 days ago. Leading contender.

11/1
Winning hurdler for Gordon Elliott but yet to convince over fences for current yard, falling on chase debut before no match for winner when second of 3 in novice at this course (20.1f) in December. Well held at Warwick last time and others more persuasive.

Big improver stepped up to 2½m+ last season, winning 5 on the spin and adding to his tally at Newton Abbot (16.8f) in October. However, form has gone the wrong way since, including when fourth of 8 in handicap at Warwick (20f, soft) on chasing debut 2 weeks ago.

5/2
Fair maiden hurdler who has improved sent chasing this season, scoring in good style at Wincanton in December. Runner-up both starts since, beaten ½ length by Immortal Fame at Uttoxeter (20f, soft) in January, and he can be thereabouts once more.

Forecasts

Immortal Fame (9/4), Plaisir Des Flos (9/4), King Arise (5/2), Abbeydale (11/1), Major Fortune (14/1), Mahons Glory (16/1)

Verdict

IMMORTAL FAME continued his excellent start for his current yard when scoring with something in hand at Southwell on his latest outing, so he is taken to continue his progress and land the 4-timer. He can confirm the placings with King Arise from when the pair met at Uttoxeter in January, with Plaisir des Flos one to note on chase debut.
