Good second of 10 in handicap chase (8/1) at Cheltenham (27.3f, soft) 20 days ago, going in snatches. Switches from chase to hurdles and, able to race off a 6 lb lower mark in this sphere, he's one to consider.

Respectable 11½ lengths fifth of 19 to Paddy's Milestone in handicap hurdle at this course (21f, heavy, 28/1) 20 days ago, faring best of those held up. Up in trip. Jockey bookings suggest that he is not the stable first-string.

Age: 6|  Weight: 10-0| J: Mr S Connor(7)| T: S R B Crawford| OR:  114| C
1 win from 1 run this season. Career best when winning 19-runner handicap hurdle at this course (21f, heavy, 6/1) 20 days ago by 2 lengths from Grimaud. Up in trip and while a 7 lb rise demands more, he has to enter calculations.

Forecasts

Yeats Star (10/3), Grimaud (9/2), Fascile Mode (11/2), Ayiko (11/2), Koori Star (8/1), Paddy's Milestone (12/1), Ashdale Bob (12/1), Timmy Tuesday (12/1), Buddy One (12/1), Buachaillbocht (12/1), Ottizzini (20/1), Gringo D'aubrelle (20/1), I Love My Baie (25/1), Eagles Reign (33/1)

Verdict

The vote goes to FASCILE MODE, who was 6 lb out of the handicap when a fine second in a valuable Grade 3 handicap chase at Cheltenham last month and he makes plenty of appeal returned to this sphere. If Ayiko is fully tuned-up for this seasonal reappearance he will be a big threat, while Yeats Star and Grimaud, two of the four Gordon Elliott-trained representatives, are also shortlisted. Buachaillbocht is another to consider.
