Scored at Newton Abbot in August and in good nick until pulled up in handicap chase at Ludlow (23.8f). Off 7 months and this unreliable sort needs to hit the ground running.

6/1

Irresolute performer overall but this C&D winner wasn't disgraced when second of 5 in handicap chase at Fontwell (17.8f, good) 16 days ago. Not ruled out.

Forecasts

Nickelforce (5/4), Village Master (6/4), Romanor (6/1), The Dream Goes On (6/1), Moodofthemoment (12/1), Great D'Ange (22/1)

Course scorer NICKELFORCE shaped well after a lay-off when a recent runner-up here and looks the way to go off a 1 lb lower mark. Village Master enhanced his fine winning record over fences when going in at Fontwell last time and rates a big danger however, while veteran C&D winner Romanor can't be ruled out either if on his A-game.
