Selected odds by:
Fairly useful form over fences in France and, having shown encouragement on first chase start for current yard in November, he landed handicap at this C&D (good to soft) 25 days ago. Major player with more still to offer in this sphere.
|
Three-time winner over hurdles who saw out the longer trip after 7 months off when third in handicap at Perth (20.2f, soft) in September. Has gone backwards from that effort in 2 subsequent outings, but he appeals as the type to make a chaser.
|
Made a successful debut over fences in a Hexham handicap in October. Back over hurdles both outings since and, after 4 months off, resumed winning ways in selling handicap at Fakenham (16f, good) 8 days ago. Respected making only his second chase start.
|
Fairly useful maiden on Flat and runner-up 4 times over hurdles for Paul Nicholls. Filled same spot on yard debut in September and showed aptitiude for chasing when fifth of 7 behind Coup de Coeur at this C&D 25 days ago. May just find others stronger.

Forecasts
Step Out (7/4), Caldwell (9/4), Bois Guillbert (5/2), Coup De Coeur (5/2), Beny Nahar Road (9/2)
COUP DE COEUR built on the promise of his previous run when opening his chase account over C&D last month, jumping well in the main, and he can continue his good run of form to score again. Caldwell was a ready winner on chase debut and could be the main danger arriving on the back of a success over hurdles, with Step Out also in the mix.
