Download The Vickers.Bet App Novices' Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Landed a pair of novice hurdles for this yard last season. Had wind surgery ahead of this chase debut/reappearance. This point winner appeals as the type to go on to even better things over fences. The one to beat.

Won a course novice hurdle on New Year's Day and made all at Carlisle (19f) in February. Probably needed the run when well held in a handicap hurdle back at Carlisle on his reappearance. Chase debut.

Maiden hurdle winner for Willie Mullins in Ireland on New Year's Day in 2021 but has drawn a blank since. Has offered little in 2 starts for current yard (remote second of 4 in seller latterly) ahead of this switch to fences. Cheekpieces go on for the first time.

Got off the mark in 21f Ludlow maiden hurdle in March. Bit disappointing when last of 3 in a Fontwell handicap hurdle when last seen in May but his yard is going well ahead of this switch to fences after a break.

Ex-Olly Murphy inmate who landed a 17f handicap chase at Stratford (17f) in March for Clive Boultbee-Brooks. Below par in 2 outings this term, although he may strip fitter for his recent stable debut after 5 months off.

In good heart since joining this yard from Ireland, winning over hurdles in July and making a successful start over fences in a match race at Wetherby (21f) in October. A 4 lb higher mark was enough to find him out at Musselburgh since, though.
