Selected odds by:
Smart novice chaser last term, winning 3 times alongside a trio of in-frame efforts in Grade 1 company. Yet to fire this season, but looks feasiblt handicapped if getting back to form.
|
Useful hurdler has looked at least as good in 4 starts over fences so far, having a hard race but finishing clear of the rest when second of 8 in handicap chase (9/4) at Kelso (17.1f, heavy) 37 days ago, Should go close again if that effort hasn't left a mark.
|
Dual-winning hurdler last term went one better than one chasing debut when scoring in 10-runner handicap chase at Leicester (20.1f, good to soft) 38 days ago. 7 lb higher in the weights but appeals as the type to progress again.
|
Ex-French recruit who is on the up for his current yard, emphatically landing 11-runner handicap chase at Southwell (20.4f) in December. Shaped as if still ahead of his mark when runner-up at Sandown last month and is highly respected again despite furhter 2 lb rise.
|
Won at Newcastle last April and was in the process of running respectably when taking a heavy final-fence tumble at Newcastle (20.1f, soft) 28 days ago. Best watched here.

Forecasts
Our Jet (6/4), Gemirande (9/4), Jetoile (10/3), War Lord (17/2), The King Of May (16/1)
A competitive 5-runner affair, with OUR JET fancied to take his record over fences to 2-3 and follow up from his convincing success at Leicester last time. Gemirande was involved for a long way despite mistakes at Sandown last time and could have more to offer again, whilst Jetoile is also respected despite seemingly having a very hard race last time.
