3/1

Took his form up to a useful level over hurdles upon rejoining Nicky Richards last season, recording back-to-back handicap wins at Carlisle and Perth in April. Had finished well held on chasing debut, but can leave that behind following a significant stable switch (has had breathing operation).

1/5

Grade 1 novice winner over hurdles who showed smart form last season, landing the odds in a Fontwell Grade 2 (19f) in February. Found things tougher back at the highest level at Aintree when last seen, but he's a noteworthy recruit to chasing on the back of a breathing operation

Forecasts

Potters Charm (1/5), Jupiter Des Mottes (3/1), Glen To Glen (11/2), Vicomte Le Brave (66/1)

POTTERS CHARM took his form over hurdles to a smart level last season, comfortably winning a Grade 2 at Fontwell early this year, and he is fancied to make a successful chasing debut with his yard enjoying a most productive spell. He gets the vote ahead of Jupiter des Mottes, who isn't taken lightly on first start for Dan Skelton.
