Philip Hobbs, Minehead T B Larry Doyle Philip Hobbs Racing S TIMEFORM VIEW Very useful chaser who has posted 3 solid efforts this term, 2l second in Grade 3 handicap at Cheltenham in December.

Harry Cobden J Paul Nicholls, Ditcheat T B Mr Gildas Blain Morson Group S TIMEFORM VIEW One-time exciting hurdler who got back on track switched to fences after a wind op when runner-up on first 2 starts this term.
