racingtv.com Novices' Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Point winner who has continued progress switched to chasing, winning a couple of handicaps at Hereford this winter. However, was badly let down by his jumping at Newbury since and these fences will punish those who aren't accurate.

Maiden hurdle winner who left chase bow/return well behind when staying-on fourth over 3m at Windsor just after Christmas. Shaped better than the distance beaten suggests at Uttoxeter since and remains with potential under these less testing conditions.

Progressive winning hurdler and he has started out well in this sphere, runner-up in 3m handicaps at Uttoxeter and Haydock. Let down by jumping back down in trip at Hereford since but return to further should suit.

Winner over 2½m over hurdles for B. F. Brookhouse and made it 2 from 2 over fences for new yard when easily making all at Chepstow. Did too much too soon upped to a marathon trip at Kelso since and well worth another chance returned to a suitable distance.

Winning hurdler who made a decent start over fences when fourth of 9 in handicap at Kelso (23.4f, heavy) in November. Produced a laboured effort at Haydock since but yard in better form now.

Maiden over hurdles but often gave his running. Irish point winner so no surprise he showed improved form when fourth of 8 at Uttoxeter (20f, heavy) on debut over fences last month and can do better again up in trip.
