7/1
Enjoyed a fantastic time of it last season, scoring 6 times, including a Grade 2 handicap at Cheltenham during the spring. Solid fourth of 15 in Summer Plate at Market Rasen (21.4f, good) back from a 3-month break in July and a bold show could be on the way.

10/1
Exeter winner last November and found improvement with blinkers enlisted when runner-up at Taunton on final 2 starts. Likely to win more races over fences, but he faces a very stiff task on these terms.

18/1
Hurdles winner who opened chase account in good style at Southwell (20.4f, soft) last December. Mixed bag since, though, and he looks vulnerable.

2/9
Smart hurdler who was back to his best when winning the Select Hurdle at Sandown (21.5f, good to firm) in April, benefiting from a good ride but showing a willing attitude as well. Will prove very difficult to beat on these terms, provided that his jumping passes the test now switched to fences.

Forecasts

Blueking D'oroux (2/9), Lookaway (11/2), Riskintheground (7/1), Gyenyame (10/1), Theformismighty (18/1)

Verdict

BLUEKING D'OROUX is the clear pick of these based on hurdles exploits and a clean round of jumping will surely be enough for the 6-y-o to seal the deal on this chase debut.
