Sky Sports Racing Virgin 512 Handicap Chase

Ran well when last seen at Southwell just under a year ago. Well handicapped on the pick of his form and he's worth a betting check after a stable switch (left Toby Lawes).

Left hurdles form well behind on second chase start when winning at Lingfield last winter, finding plenty. Disappointed after but has since joined an in-form yard ahead of his return (has had a breathing operation).

Irish point winner who showed promise in his 3 qualifying runs over hurdles. However, well held from a stiff opening mark at Wincanton in February and improvement needed now chasing on return.

Front runner who resumed winning ways at Fontwell in May. Added to an all-or-nothing record after 5 months off at Stratford but the outing might have been needed.

Unplaced both starts in Irish points and down the field all 3 qualifying runs over hurdles. Should at least make more of impact now handicapping on chase debut.

Veteran who is without a win since 2019 but went close at Huntingdon in March. Not in same form both starts since, however, and likely to need this after 6 months off.

Losing run is mounting up but he posted another creditable effort when third of 5 at Market Rasen last month.
