Keltruck Ltd Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Dual winner over hurdles and better form sent chasing last season. Ran up to best when third at Musselburgh on return earlier this year and sights significantly lowered here after finishing down the field in Kim Muir last time. Cheekpieces on first time.

Won 3 veterans' events last term but proved largely disappointing in 4 starts this season. Given a chance by the handicapper but is hard to recommend with confidence.

Landed something of a gamble when seen to good effect upped to this sort of trip at Market Rasen in September. Not been in same form either start since but can't be ruled out here

Flat/hurdles winner who belatedly confirmed the promise of his fencing bow when taking 3-runner handicap chase (11/10) at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) 32 days ago. Just 3 lb higher here and looks worth a crack at this longer trip.

Returned to winning ways at Exeter last month and backed that up when easily landing 5-runner handicap chase over this trip at Ascot (good) 18 days ago. 8 lb higher now but another bold bid looks assured.
