Get Daily Tips At racingtv.com Handicap Chase

Twice a winner over hurdles, most recently making all in 2½m handicap at Uttoxeter last summer. Hasn't taken to fences in a handful of starts this season but this at least represents a drop in class.

All 5 of his career wins have come at Sedgefield and was a good second in a better race than this there on Boxing Day. Too free back over much further next time so expected to bounce back.

Much improved when making a winning handicap debut at Huntingdon a year ago and nearly made it 2-2 at the track on return in November, a shade unlucky having met interference. Found less than looked likely at Southwell next time but has been given a break since and has the size to make a chaser.

Capitalised on a career-low mark at Wetherby on return and was holding his form until latest run at Catterick. Making first start over fences in Britain (maiden chaser in France).

Not the most consistent but stepped up on her chase bow when fourth at Newcastle. Ran poorly in first-time cheekpieces here since and headgear quickly discarded.

Front runner who is often hard to catch right (has found little), but hard to crab current run of form, winning 2 of his 3 starts over hurdles this season. Must be respected back chasing.
