9/2
Won first 2 starts over hurdles and while she made an inauspicious start over fences last term, there were more positives signs when runner-up at Carlisle on return.

4/1
Dual winning pointer who opened his chase account at the third attempt here (17.7f) on Boxing Day. Not so good in 3 subsequent runs but starts the new campaign on a fair mark.

14/1
Placed on first of 2 starts in points and promise in trio of bumpers. Generally struggled over hurdles last season and made an underwhelming start over fences after 11 weeks off over C&D in May. Needs to leave that well behind.

7/2
French recruit who made an underwhelming start for this yard last season and offered little on handicap bow at Fontwell on return. Hollow second on his return to chasing at Windsor since and has it to prove.

Responded well to this headgear when finally off the mark at Plumpton last week. Obvious claims off the same mark.

Forecasts

Atreides (5/4), Le Galli Bier (7/2), Koenigsstern (4/1), Easy To Follow (9/2), Desert Halo (14/1)

Verdict

ATREIDES found the switch to more severe headgear doing the trick as he belatedly opened his account at Plumpton last week and can follow up off the same mark. Koenigsstern starts the season only 1 lb above his winning mark so is feared most.
