Three handicap hurdle wins on soft ground last season. Failed to build on Haydock reappearance fifth when never involved in a big field at Ascot 4 weeks later but no surprise were to bounce back faced with a less competitive scenario on this chase debut.

Good close third in a 21f Wetherby handicap chase in October 2024 on his first start for Dan Skelton but off 14 months after and beaten a long way on both comeback outings this winter. First-time blinkers need to have a reviving effect.

Resumed from 6 months off/breathing surgery with a good second at Ffos Las in October but she's not straightforward and has disappointed at Doncaster and Chepstow since.

Second Market Rasen handicap chase success of the campaign when seeing off 7 rivals over 3m (soft) in January. Has run poorly back at the Lincolnshire venue since but he still has to enter calculations here.

Fairly useful chase winner at his best in Ireland for Paul Nolan. Well beaten in a handicap hurdle/chase for Dan Skelton in recent months but his mark has eased a bit and he's worth a second look in the betting.

Scored twice over fences in 2024. Returned from a 13-month absence to finish a very good second of 13 at Uttoxeter (3m, soft) at the end of December and shaped as if still in good form (not helped by blunder 2 out) when third of 7 at Market Rasen since. Gets the vote.

Forecasts

Smurfette (15/8), Solar System (2/1), Kayce Dutton (11/2), Lilting Verse (11/2), Jasmin De Cotte (11/1), Storminhome (14/1)

Verdict

SMURFETTE looks the most solid option here. If Solar System takes to this new discipline he might be the one to give the Tom Ellis representative most to think about.
