Winning chaser when trained by Paul Nicholls. Three runs for current trainer have seen him finish third in point-to-points and he needs to do better returned to hunter chase company.
Capable, if in-and-out performer, when trained by Jonjo O'Neill. Pulled up in a Ludlow hunter chase earlier this month so has questions to answer for the time being.
Very useful at his best and has proved himself a force in this sphere, finishing second in the Foxhunters Chase at the 2017 Cheltenham Festival. Not quite so good now, but dangerous to dismiss on comeback run.
First run for this yard when finishing distant last of four in a point-to-point last month. Plenty to do in this company.
The oldest member of the field and has not been seen since finishing a good second of 10 at Wincanton in October, 2017. Has a long absence to overcome, but is talented enough to figure.
Forecasts
Wonderful Charm (10/11), Forgotten Gold (13/8), Upswing (4/1), Boa Island (28/1), Flugzeug (100/1)
Forgotten Gold may be a little rusty after his absence, but is talented enough to pose a serious threat. Preference, though, is for Wonderful Charm, who boasts solid form at this level and may well be on course for another crack at the Foxhunters at Cheltenham. Upswing has ability, but ran poorly last time.
