Likeable sort who has resumed on the up with 2m4f handicap chase victories at Carlisle and Hexham this autumn. Up another 3 lb but this sound jumper can go very well again.

A fairly useful hurdles/chase scorer but he came in last of 9 in handicap chase at Aintree (15.8f, good) on his return 21 days ago. Back up in trip now with cheekpieces added and something to prove.

Completed a hat-trick at Carlisle in April 2024 but only twice raced since and pulled up on each occasion, in 2m3f Wetherby handicap 14 days ago. Has lots to prove.

Fairly useful on the Flat and over hurdles for Adrian Keatley before making a winning start over fences for new yard in 6-runner handicap at Southwell (20.4f, soft) 15 days ago. Can make his presence felt despite a 3 lb rise.

A one-time useful handicap chaser but ended his time for Paul Robson below par. Not disgraced back hurdling for his new handler when third of 7 in 2m Wetherby novice 28 days ago so possibilities back in this sphere.

Consistent hurdler who took a step forward on just his second chasing start when third of 8 to Hello Judge in handicap at Hexham (20.1f, good to soft) 22 days ago. Should improve further so he's well in the mix.

A fair maiden hurdler who took a big step forward on his chasing bow with an excellent second of 12 in handicap at Carlisle (20.9f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Up 2 lb but holds leading claims.

Low-mileage 10-y-o who wasn't disgraced when third of 6 in handicap chase at Perth (23.8f, good to soft) in May, prominent long way. Not ruled out back in trip for his return.

Bumper/hurdles winner who has yet to score over fences, refitted with cheekpieces when only fifth of 7 over C&D 15 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward.

Made a winning chasing debut at Kelso last October but has a mixed record since and she unseated her rider 8th in 2m4f Carlisle handicap chase on her reappearance 19 days ago. Others appeal more.

Forecasts

Grand Geste (5/4), Hello Judge (11/2), Maghlaak (7/1), Alcedo (8/1), Sunset Hill (8/1), Breizh River (10/1), Similar Story (20/1), Fete Champetre (22/1), Halpha Soleil (22/1), William Of York (50/1)

Verdict

GRAND GESTE made a very promising start to chasing when a recent runner-up at Carlisle and with that form working out well he is fancied to go one better and provide another winner for his in-form stable. Maghlaak got off the mark at the first attempt in this sphere at Southwell and heads the list of dangers, although in-form duo Sunset Hill and Hello Judge both command plenty of respect too.
