8/11
Useful hurdler/chaser who typically took a strong hold when no match for odds-on winner at Chepstow last month, but he may do better if given his head in first-time tongue strap (has made all previously) and remains the one to beat on previous form.

1/1
Fairly useful mare has improved for fences, winning second time up at Ayr in November, and underlining her consistency when third in a 6-runner listed mares' chase at Huntingdon last month. Looks sure to give her running again.

Forecasts

Gamesters Guy (8/11), Ruby Island (1/1)

Verdict

GAMESTERS GUY may just hold the tactical/class edge in an interesting match-up and he's taken to land a second success over fences.
