Download The PricedUp App Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Confirmed his Cheltenham hurdle debut promise when landing short odds at Lingfield (23f, soft) in January. Respectable third in 20.5f Newbury novice hurdle 4 weeks later. Switches to fences for his handicap debut after 9 months off and his point background provides hope he'll take to new discipline.

Four wins in excellent 2023/24 campaign, including here and also in the Eider at Newcastle. Didn't reach anything like the same heights last season but is well treated if a change of stable (has left Brian Ellison) sparks him back to life.

Pair of 2½m handicap chase wins last winter. Might have needed the run when fifth of 8 on Hexham reappearance and he won second time out last season. Respected now stepping up to 3m for the first time under Rules.

Only 1 win from 28 starts but has run well to be placed on his last 5 starts, including third of 13 in the Cork National (3½m, good to soft) 4 weeks ago. Likely to be in the shake-up again for his respected Irish stable.

Dual winner in points and battled well to make a successful debut under Rules in maiden hunter at Hexham in May. Better form in defeat twice since, returning from 6 months off to finish second of 7 on 3m Wetherby handicap debut 15 days ago. Unexposed sort who looks to have more races in him.

Four-time winner of handicap hurdles at up to 21f during 2023/24 campaign but seen only twice last season and unseated just after halfway when sent off at 18/1 for his Kelso chase debut/reappearance 12 days ago.

Progressive handicap hurdler and similar story over larger obstacles in 2023/24, winning 3 times. Off 21 months, shaped as if retaining ability when seventh of 9 here 4 weeks ago and should last longer this time.

Second over 4m at Hexham in March but that was her only creditable effort from 5 outings last season. Predictably found a 2½m course listed event all too much on reappearance. This much more realistic but others are still preferred.
