Virgin Bet Every Saturday Money Back Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Useful chaser when on-song, as he demonstrated when winning this race in good style last year. Failed to fire first 3 starts of present campaign but back in the groove following a wind op when scoring over hurdles here and, off the same mark as when taking this 12 months ago, he needs considering.

Not straightforward but in fine form in November when taking small-field handicaps at Huntingdon (23.6f, good) and Leicester (22.7f, good to firm). However, he was labouring some way out when gunning for the hat-trick back from a break at Carlisle and looks risky on the back of that display.

Dual winner on good ground in 2022/23 and shaped well on several occasions in defeat last term. Hasn't show much spark so far this season, though, and while he is very dangerous to discount off this reduced mark, a major bounce back is clearly needed.

Point/bumper winner who struck twice over hurdles last term and has acquitted himself well all 3 starts switched to fences this season, clear of the rest when just touched off at Taunton (23f, soft) last time. Nudged up 3 lb for that but he is a strong candidate for this all the same.

Added a third chase victory to his tally at Wincanton last season. Stepped up on first 2 efforts of present campaign when second in the Huntingdon handicap won by Lounge Lizard recently (Sail Away a well-held last of 6) and another bold show is anticipated.

Fairly useful chaser at his best but it's been almost 3 years since his latest success and he offered little back from a 13-month absence at Pumpton in December.
