3/1
Veteran who ended a losing run that stretched back to 2021 when winning a 5-runner handicap chase here in October. Found out by 7 lb rise at Huntingdon next time but decent effort back over hurdles since.

9/1
Recorded a first success since 2022 when making a winning return in 5-runner contest at Uttoxeter and followed up in veterans' chase at Huntingdon. Found run of good form coming to an abrupt halt at Wincanton 2 weeks ago, however, and headgear back on.

9/2
Found improvement since joining James Owen, winning twice and placed several times, including when 10 lengths second of 5 to Enjoy d'Allen in handicap chase at this course (21.2f, good) 65 days ago. Seems summed up by current mark, however.

Reliable sort who readily landed conditional jockeys' handicap at Chepstow. Second at Kempton (3m) the following week before hampered at Ascot last time. Remains of interest up in trip.

Losing run is mounting up but arrives in decent heart, creditable 5¾ lengths third of 8 to Safe Destination in handicap chase at Chepstow (26.2f, good to firm) 70 days ago. 4 lb better off with the winner here.

Low-mileage 9-y-o who built on earlier promise when landing 7-runner handicap at Fontwell. Remote third there since, however, and 1 lb out of the weights here.

Forecasts

Safe Destination (11/4), Enjoy D'allen (3/1), To Be Sure (4/1), Shadows In The Sky (9/2), He Is A Cracker (13/2), Fern Hill (9/1)

Verdict

SAFE DESTINATION has started the season well and remains of interest stepping up in trip. To Be Sure can make the frame again.
