TIMEFORM VIEW Has returned from a break an improved performer for new yard, completing the hat-trick with minimum fuss at Newton Abbot (25.8f, good to soft) last month. Up another 6lb but he’s clearly at the top of his game and another bold show anticipated. Star RatingHHHHI Official BHA Rating 137 Sam Twiston-Davies

TIMEFORM VIEW Multiple hurdles winner in 2021 and showed the benefit of his reappearance spin at Uttoxeter (first run for 15 months) when going close in a Cartmel (22.1f, heavy) handicap. 4lb higher mark to contend with on this chase debut but will be a threat if his jumping passes the test Star RatingHHHII Official BHA Rating 125

Form: 3450-04

TIMEFORM VIEW Useful/progressive form over hurdles during 2021/22 campaign, winning 3 times. Out of luck since, though, and while he wasn’t disgraced back in this sphere at Uttoxeter last time, one or two of these are more appealing.

TIMEFORM VIEW Bumper/hurdles winner Yet to get his head in front over fences but he got back in track when finding just one too good at Uttoxeter (20.9f, good) last month (Pull Again Green and The Bomber Liston behind) and moving back up in trip here is no bad thing.

TIMEFORM VIEW Fortunate winner at Sedgefield in March but there was nothing lucky about his follow-up success at Perth the following month. Has shaped better than the bare result last 2 starts, latterly fifth of 11 over this C&D, and he’s a major player. STEWARDS NOTE: Following its run on 4/8/2023 it was reported that the horse lost its right fore shoe

Race Summary:

Preference is for GREY SKIES, who wasn’t able to show what he can do upped to this trip over C&D recently (left with too much to do) and, now 2lb lower in the weights, he is taken to regain the winning thread Farouk de Cheneau is an obvious danger in his bid to complete the four-timer, while Any News returned to form last time and should give another good account. Jesuitique also enters calculations on his chase debut
