Won at the first time of asking over fences at Ffos Las in January. Held back by inexperience when well held in Topham Handicap Chase at Aintree (21f, good to soft) in April. Cheekpieces back on. Back down in class but needs to brush up on his jumping.

In first-time tongue strap and cheekpieces, career best when winning 8-runner handicap chase at Uttoxeter (21f, good, 5/2) 23 days ago. Up 7 Ib for that success and chance is there for all to see for powerful connections.

Finished alone on chasing debut at Wetherby in October. Sixth of 8 in handicap chase (9/1) at Kelso (2¾m, good) 35 days ago. Cheekpieces on for the first time and needs more to feature.

7/1
Veteran who won at Newcastle in February 2025. Went close to another victory there in October but has been below par since. Might need this, but is a well treated C&D winner and can't be fully ruled out.

3/1
Three-time C&D winner, with the latest in handicap chase last summer. Step back in right direction when fourth of 13 in similar event at Carlisle (2½m, good) in March. Will appreciate the return to this course though may find it tougher from 3 Ib out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Pony Soprano (5/6), Sean Og (3/1), Pour Les Filles (7/1), Arthur's Quay (7/1), Old Gregorian (14/1)

Verdict

It's hard to ignore the claims of PONY SOPRANO and he gets the nod to follow up his recent success. The veteran Arthur's Quay has dropped to a handy mark and can chase him home.
