4/6

Won 4 times over hurdles last season, including the Grade 2 Dovecote at Kempton, and a Plumpton handicap to round off the campaign. Tough and likeable sort should make a chaser and he should give a bold show.

2/1

Won novice hurdles at Chepstow and Leicester before chasing Constitution Hill home in the Tolworth last year. Back on track when second in 22f Newbury handicap hurdle last time and drop in trip looks sensible on chase debut. Player.

100/1

Seemingly retains little ability nowadays and is impossible to fancy against 3 useful rivals.

11/2

Second-season novice who reached a useful level without winning last term, following home Edwardstone on chase debut and falling with race at his mercy at Southwell in April. Jumping/weak finishing are both concerns but he sets a very good standard.

Forecasts

Aucunrisque (4/6), Jetoile (2/1), Stepney Causeway (11/2), Scottsdale (100/1)

Probably the strongest novice chase in the UK so far this season. AUCUNRISQUE was a hugely progressive novice hurdler last term and Chris Gordon's likeable 6-y-o appeals as the type to continue on an upward curve over fences. Stepney Causeway sets a high standard on the pick of his form, while Grade 1-placed Jetoile is another exciting recruit to chasing.
