Selected odds by:
Cashed in on a career-low mark to finally got off the mark in this sphere at Ayr (16.5f, good) 26 days ago. Back up 4 lb now but he's still not taken lightly.
|
Fairly useful winning hurdler who arrives in good nick, just failing in Market Rasen novice (16.6f, good) 23 days ago, Interesting contender on his chase debut.
|
Fairly useful 2m winner at his best over hurdles but yet to get close to that form in two runs over fences, remote fifth of 7 in handicap chase at Carlisle (15.9f, good) 39 days ago. More needed.
|
Fairly useful Flat/hurdler at his best in 2018/19. Back from 19 months off now for his fencing bow with others much preferred.
|
It's been a while since he last put his best foot forward and he fared no better for the fitting of cheekpieces when remote fourth in handicap chase at Ayr (20.5f, heavy) 8 days ago. Hard to warm to.
|
Lightly-raced maiden hurdler, only sixth of 7 in handicap at Kelso (25.8f, good to soft) 51 days ago. Tries his luck chasing now and others appeal more.

Forecasts
Slanelough (10/11), Away At Dawn (10/3), Check My Pulse (13/2), Schmidt (9/1), Morningside (11/1), Royal Reserve (11/1), Better Getalong (12/1)
Four chasing newcomers means this isn't the easiest of races to assess, and a chance is taken on Donald McCain's AWAY AT DAWN to make a winning start over fences given he arrives in excellent form over hurdles and was runner-up on his only points run. Slanelough rates the obvious threat on the back of his breakthrough Ayr success, while Check My Pulse is another fencing debutant worth considering.
