Viasat Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Chase

Just modest form over hurdles but bumper form gives him the scope for better and he has enough size for chasing. Worth monitoring in the market back from 5 months off.

Placed both starts over fences in France. Back on track following a wind op when scoring at Fontwell (21.5f, soft) in March but disappointed next 2 starts. Off 6 months. Cheekpieces back on.

Has quickly made up into a better chaser than hurdler last season, opening his account at the fourth attempt over fences in handicap at Fontwell (21.6f) in January. Not disgraced on heavy ground final start and warrants respect on return.

Winning pointer who ran best race over hurdles when second of 4 in handicap here final start. Off 7 months. Makes chase debut.

Made a winning reappearance at Chepstow last season but shaped as if needing the run there on this occasion last month.

Ended long losing run when obliterating his rivals from a mark that had fallen into the 90s for the first time on return here last week and hard to beat if turning up in similar form under a penalty.

Got off the mark in 3m handicap chase at Huntingdon in April and signed off with a good third at Ffos Las (23.8f, soft) following month. Not taken lightly on her return.

Mostly out of sorts last term though ought to have won off reduced mark at Fontwell final start (idled and collared last 50 yds). Off 7 months.
