Smart chaser at his best. Has been operating below his best in 3 outings this season but a potential classy sort for this grade if a recent wind operation has had a positive effect.

Successful in handicaps at Worcester and Market Rasen last summer. Had lost his form when last seen in the autumn but it's possible a break will have revived him.

Scored at Ascot in November. Respectable fourth at Ludlow in December. Fell around halfway back at Ascot last time (too far out to predict anything).

Enjoyed a fruitful first campaign over fences in 2023/24, winning 3 times. Below that level in a light career since but offered more tackling veterans' company for the first time at Warwick last month, seeming to pay for making a big move into contention. Dropped another 3 lb and could go well.

Won a claiming hurdle and handicap chase in Ireland for Eric McNamara last summer. Left that stable after finishing a remote second in a Limerick claiming hurdle last month.

Ended a losing run stretching back almost 3 years in veterans' event at Cheltenham (20.5f) in December. Not in anything like the same form when last of 4 in another veterans' race at Sandown in January but he's capable of bouncing back after a short break.

Five chase wins since March (including C&D). Also took advantage of his lower hurdle mark here when last seen in October. Could have a big say again if fully primed after 136 days off.

Justified support when taking advantage of a much-reduced mark at Wetherby (19f) on Boxing Day. Confirmed his return to form when runner-up back there in January and he continues to look well treated on his peak form.

Forecasts

Outlaw Peter (9/4), Gunsight Ridge (9/2), Can You Call (9/2), Neon Moon (13/2), Genois (15/2), Time To Bite (11/1), Numitor (14/1), Pull Again Green (16/1), Embittered (33/1)

Verdict

GENOIS arrives on the back of a win and second at Wetherby and gets the vote tackling veterans' company for the first time. Time To Bite has been prolific in the last 12 months and will be a threat if ready to roll after a break. Gunsight Ridge drops to a class 3 for the first time in 2 years and could also have a say if reacting well to recent wind surgery.
