QuinnBet Extra Places Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Point winner who scored at the third time of asking over hurdles on his reappearance at Hexham (2m, soft) in October. Beaten favourite both starts since switched to fences, but he found just one too good on each occasion and remains with potential in this sphere.

Fit from the Flat and opened hurdles account at Market Rasen a month ago. Flat bred but has the physique for chasing.

Irish point scorer who also bagged a pair of novice hurdles (around 2m) at Carlisle and Kelso in April. Went off too hard when seventh of 13 in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (17.2f, soft) in November and he's entitled to step up on his opening chase effort at Sedgefield.

Off the mark over fences at Hexham (15.6f) in May and acquitted himself well in defeat since, shaping better than bare result on heavy ground at Cartmel in July and right back to form when third back from a break at Doncaster 3 weeks ago.
