Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: Nick Williams

10/1

Dual 2m hurdle winner last term but returned with below-par sixth in 2m Sandown handicap last month. Keen-going sort makes fencing bow now up in trip but this is no easy introduction.

1/1

Progressive hurdler last term, facile winner of novice events on final 2 starts. Looked sure to go close on just his second start over fences when falling 2 out at Aintree last month. Leading player.

Form: 1611-4F

11/10

Useful winning hurdler who returned with good second of 14 in 19f handicap hurdle at Haydock 17 days ago. Sort to do well over fences so shouldn't be underestimated.

Form: 16/560-2

Forecasts

Northofthewall (1/1), Umbrigado (11/10), Imperial Alcazar (2/1), Le Cameleon (10/1)

A useful beginners' chase in which NORTHOFTHEWALL is fancied to make amends for his late Aintree mishap and confirm himself a useful novice chaser in the making for his in-form yard. Both Umbrigado and Imperial Alcazar bring considerable potential on their respective fencing debuts though so shouldn't be underestimated in an intriguing contest.
