Has improved for the switch to chasing this term, going in at the first attempt at Huntington (2½m) in November and backing it up with an excellent third of 10 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (20f, soft) 23 days ago. This low-mileage 5-y-o could have more to offer so rates a big player.

Bumper winner who showed promise over hurdles last term. No significant impact in 2 staying handicap chases at Hereford this season though, tried in cheekpieces last time. Needs to take a step forward.

Fair maiden hurdler who recorded a good third at Ludlow in first-time cheekpieces in December. Headgear retained but in rear when fell 9th on his chase debut at Huntingdon (23.6f, soft) 32 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Finally got off the mark (in a headgear change) at Market Rasen (3m) in December and followed it up in 6-runner handicap chase at Taunton (26.3f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Up another 7 lb but he can make his presence felt again.

Forecasts

Kalhandrion (6/5), Jukebox D'eddy (5/2), The Long Point (3/1), Queens Wish (5/1), Finn Lough (15/2), Swift Jet (11/1)

Verdict

KALHANDRION hasn't looked back since sent over fences this season and is weighted to quickly resume winning ways on the back of an excellent Uttoxeter third. Hat-trick seeking Jukebox d'Eddy rates the obvious threat.
