10/3

Got back on track in first-time cheekpieces when landing 4-runner handicap chase at Taunton (28.4f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Up 3 lb but not taken lightly with headgear again sported.

15/2

Veteran is not the force of old nowadays but wasn't disgraced when a 100/1-fourth of 10 in handicap chase at this course (20f, good) 16 days ago. Needs to build on it now.

15/8

Cheekpieces fitted when resuming winning ways in 6-runner handicap chase at Hereford (25.2f, good to firm) 30 days ago. Runner-up has gone in since so he's expected to be bang there despite a 5 lb weights rise.

7/4

Opened his account over fences in 8-runner handicap chase over C&D (good) 16 days ago. Up 5 lb but he's a likely player again.

22/1

Maiden hurdler who was pulled up in handicap chase at Huntingdon (23.6f, good) on his debut over fences 29 days ago. Significantly more is needed.

Forecasts

Moonlight Artist (7/4), Cave Article (15/8), Anytrixwilldo (10/3), Grillon De Monty (15/2), Chateau Du Lys (16/1), Grand Sabre (22/1)

CAVE ARTICLE got back on the winning trail at Hereford last month and looks the way to go here with that form having been franked. Recent scorers Moonlight Artist and Anytrixwilldo both merit serious consideration too though and can chase home Christian Williams' 6-y-o in that order.
