Useful hurdler at this peak but has struggled to see his races out fr a while. weakening from 3 out on second chase start at Newbury in March. Application of a tongue tie may help.

Stopped the slide frm reduced mark when runner-up at Southwell in March and duly went one better at Warwick 3 weeks later. Back up 5 lb but he needs considering.

In good heart during the summer and back to form when winning at Hereford in October. Second to Larch Hill at Warwick 3 weeks ago and eased 1 lb for that.

Stepped up markedly on comeback run when scoring at Fakenham (16.3f) and backed that up when second at Newbury a fortnight later. Best to overlook heavy defeat back on the level.

GETARIVER hasn't really delivered on her early promise but she was back in good order when runner-up over fences at Sedgefield a month ago, and having been eased 1 lb, is weighted to strike. An on-song Ar Mest would be dangerous starting out for a new yard, while Larch Hill and Atlantic Storm occupied the first two positions at Warwick last time.

  1. GETARIVER (IRE)
  2. AR MEST (FR)
  3. LARCH HILL (IRE)
