3/1

Improved on hurdles form over fences last season, landing a useful novice at Exeter. Well held at Ludlow when last seen in December but was a bumper winner early in his career.

Form: 10-6024

13/8

Smart chaser who signed off for Gordon Elliott by landing 20f event at Ballinrobe in September. Low-key stable debut and couldn't justify strong support in one of these a month ago, finishing second.

2/1

Did well over fences last season, third in red-hot 20f Timeform novice handicap on Trials Day before winning twice at Kempton. Had a wind op since last seen in the autumn and he's not short on speed.

Form: 3311-55

8/1

Very smart chaser on his day but nowhere near that level in 3 outings this term. Well held back on the level in June on first Flat start since 2013.

Forecasts

Mengli Khan (13/8), On The Slopes (2/1), Earlofthecotswolds (3/1), San Benedeto (8/1), Thomas Blossom (50/1)

A quartet of at-least-useful NH types in opposition but assessing them isn't easy. ON THE SLOPES is often campaigned around 2m and the speed he possesses may prove to be decisive, though Mengli Khan is talented and fit from a runner-up effort in one of these a month ago.
