10/3
Best effort for a while when runner-up over 30.7f here (good) in February but record stands at 0-9 over fences and, moreover, he's by no means certain to be in the same form this time.

Bagged a trio of handicap chases at up to 3m last season, the latest off a 5 lb lower mark at Ffos Las 12 months ago. However, nowhere near that level in a handful of appearances this time round.

Good start over fences following a second wind op when runner-up at Hereford in January and went one better over 21f at Ffos Las later that month. Has failed to complete the last twice, though, and now tried in cheekpieces.

9/2
Placed both starts over fences in France and while he completely misfired on debut for new connections here in January, he got back on track following a wind op when scoring at Fontwell (21.6f, soft) last month. 3 lb rise fair and shapes as though this trip will be within range.

Successful off 6 lb higher at Uttoxeter in November 2021 but has shown precious little in 2 starts since returning from a lengthy absence in February.

Stepped up on previous efforts for this yard when fourth in a 9-runner handicap chase at Chepstow but merely passed beaten horses without ever looking a serious threat. 0-12 over fences and likely to find a few too good once more.

7/4
Opened chase account in November and firmly back on track upped in trip with cheekpieces enlisted the last twice, landing handicaps at Ffos Las (3m) and Taunton (27f). 5 lb rise for latest success could have been worse and he's a must for the shortlist.

Proved better than ever when landing a 25f handicap chase at Wincanton on Boxing Day. He is not a model of consistency, though, and made very hard work of things when third over the same C&D last time.

Now just 1 lb above the mark off which she gained breakthrough success over fences in December 2021 but largely below par this season (often let down by her jumping) and 6 lb 'wrong' at the weights here.

15:15 Exeter - 11 April 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

KING TURGEON was full value for his Fontwell win and could have more to offer. He gets the vote over the hat-trick seeking Haldon Hill and Monday's Huntingdon-scorer Head And Heart.
