Selected odds by:
Really smart hurdler who narrowly prevailed in a match on chase debut over C&D in October. Runner-up next 2 starts over the larger obstacles but looked much more polished when a decisive winner of a Grade 2 at Doncaster in January. Keeps rivals out of the weights back in a handicap. The one to beat.
|
Back to form in re-fitted blinkers, gaining a belated first success over fences over 20f at Newcastle in November. Coped really well with drop to 2m when going in again after another breathing op back at that venue 3 weeks ago and the obvious threat to Tommy's Oscar.
|
Prolific hurdler at this venue earlier in his career. Losing run stretches back to 2020 though and he's out of the weights on this very belated chase debut.

Forecasts
Tommy's Oscar (2/5), Baron De Midleton (4/1), Captain Zebo (11/2)
TOMMY'S OSCAR ran up to the pick of his hurdles form when landing the Grade 2 Lightning Novices' Chase at Doncaster in January and his presence here forces his 2 rivals out of the weights. Captain Zebo is a Carlisle specialist but goes over fences very late in life so Baron de Midleton will probably chase the selection home.
- Captain Zebo11/2
