RJS Waste Management UK Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Won this race 12 months ago. Added to tally at Stratford in July but has found life a lot tougher off higher marks since. Needs a return to Fontwell to spark a revival.

Runner-up first 4 starts this season before getting his head back in front at Market Rasen (17f) in July. That race did fall right for him but no reason he won't continue in form. Has a first-time tongue tie added to his regular cheekpieces here.

Completed a hat-trick in spring 2024 but has largely struggled since, including at Newton Abbot last month. Well treated if staging a revival but best watched unless the betting hints otherwise.

Placed 3 times in handicap hurdles last autumn. Hasn't shown much since, although his recent Worcester chase debut may have been needed after 6 months off.

Fit from a Flat run when making a successful start to his chase career over a slightly shorter trip here 9 days ago. Did it quite cosily so a 3 lb rise may not prevent the follow up.
