Has had no trouble in transferring his useful hunter chase form to handicaps, last season winning at Kempton (3m, good) and runner-up there (2m4f, good to soft) in February; his Topham run can be forgiven and, while he might be better going right-handed, he could be tough to catch around here.

Useful hunter chaser last season and he's transferred that form to handicaps, winning at Kempton (3m, good) in December and runner-up there (2m4f, good to soft) in February; he may be better going right-handed but otherwise this front-runner could prove well suited by today's test.

Won a C&D hunter chase last season from the front, as is his way; last two races have also been here over 3m, jumping better than his rivals the last time when 4lb lower; looks sure to go well for a long way back at 2m4f.

Front-runs; excellent hunter chase form includes 2m4f win here in April and he's run really well against unexposed rivals in two handicaps of late, including over C&D (good) last month; bold bid expected off the same mark.

Front-runner who won hunter chase here (2m4f, good) in April then finished second in the Champion Hunters Chase at Punchestown (3m, yielding); ran well when second of three in handicap at Ascot (2m3f, good) on this month's reappearance and he can make another bold bid; solid claims.
