9/1
Capitalised on a big drop in grade when landing odds of 4/9 in selling hurdle at Hexham (2m) last month (sold from Paul Nicholls for £26,000). Did too much wrong when well-held third of 4 back chasing for just a second time at Plumpton (17f, good) since but remains with potential in this sphere.

5/2
Dual-purpose performer who scored twice on the Flat last summer. Made a good return from 8 months off when second of 7 over fences at Bangor (17f, good) 24 days ago. Same mark today so should be very competitive.

8/1
Won 3 times in handicap chases in the first half of last season, including C&D. A couple of hurdle outings in recent months should have put him spot on for this return to fences.

13/2
Bumper winner who came good over hurdles at Hereford (2m, good) last month and followed up back on the Flat at Catterick (2m, good to firm since) since. This thriving 7-y-o now tackles fences for the first time.

3/1
Maiden hurdle winner for the Twiston-Davies yard last summer. This front-runner has been a bit too error-prone for his own good switched to fences by new yard this spring but his latest C&D third has been boosted. Capable of winning off this mark if he can keep the mistakes down.

Made a winning start to his chase career in 17f Market Rasen novice handicap (good) 19 days ago. Entitled to improve.

Showed plenty of ability remains when landing back-to-back course handicaps (including this trip) but has looked one with problems since, including pulling up here on recent return from a break. A long way out of the handicap.

Forecasts

Nibras Gold (5/2), Whatyouwaitingfor (3/1), Lheur De Gloire (3/1), Not So Sobers (13/2), In The Air (8/1), Seeyouinmydreams (9/1), Boom Boom (66/1)

Verdict

WHATYOUWAITINGFOR isn't one for maximum stakes given he's shown a tendency to hit the odd one in his chase career to date but he almost certainly has a race in him off this mark if he can iron out the mistakes. Lheur de Gloire is open to progress on the back of his chase debut success, while better can also be expected from In The Air now returned to fences.
