Absent since finishing 37L seventh in a handicap hurdle over 2m7f at Exeter (soft) in February last year. Probably best watched switched to fences on his return from a long absence.
Winner of a 2m handicap chase at Musselburgh (good-to-soft) on his penultimate start. Blinkers tried for the first time back down in trip following a 37L fifth in a small field event over an extended 2m4f at Musselburgh (good-to-soft) subsequently.
Successful three times over hurdles but finished well beaten in a big field event over an extended 2m at Taunton (good-to-soft) a month ago when returning from a break. Worth a check in the market on chase debut.
Ran well when ½L second over an extended 1m7f at Southwell (soft) on her penultimate start. Well held off a 5lb higher mark at Stratford (2m1f, soft) last time out however and has to put that latest effort behind her if she's to take this contest.
11 race maiden ran a decent race when 13L fourth in a 2m novices' handicap chase at Carlisle (heavy) earlier this month. Interesting racing off a 2lb lower mark on this occasion.
Placed over 3m at Perth (good) in September 2018 but hasn't been seen since finishing sixth over 2m4f at Hexham (soft) in a novices' handicap chase the following month. Others make more appeal on return from a lengthy absence.
Seven race maiden finished a well beaten 32L sixth in a novices' handicap chase over an extended 1m7f on chase debut at Hexham (heavy) last month. Probably best watched at present.
Maiden after seven starts but ran a decent race when fourth over an extended 2m at Sedgefield (soft) just over a month ago. Interesting to see how he performs in this contest.
11 race maiden was beaten 26L when sixth in a 2m novices' handicap chase at Carlisle (heavy) recently. Racing from out of the handicap and looks up against it in this event.
Forecasts
Getaway North (3/1), What's The Scoop (3/1), Ouro Branco (9/2), Bleu Et Noir (7/1), Buyer Beware (9/1), Elixer (12/1), Oldtimer (12/1), Dakota Grey (14/1), Hurricane Rita (20/1)
BUYER BEWARE can put a disappointing effort last time out behind him to take this novices' handicap chase. The selection was a winner on his penultimate start and he can get the better of What's The Scoop who is seeking a first career success. Third place can go the way of Bleu Et Noir who is making his debut over fences.
