Brendan Powell J Joe Tizzard, Sherborne T Coral Racing Limited S
TIMEFORM VIEWGrade 1 winner as a novice and has made up into a smart chaser, last seen finishing fifth in the Grand National. No reason to believe he won’t be effective back hurdling but this is a big ask conceding upwards of 12lb to his rivals. TFRHHHII BHA150

TIMEFORM VIEW Winless since landing a Grade 2 at Cheltenham in 2019 but he’s now 6lb lower than when finishing third of 19 in the C&D Lanzarote in January. One of two live contenders for the Nicky Henderson yard. TFRHHHHI BHA138

TIMEFORM VIEW Notched third success of a productive campaign last season when impressively landing a C&D handicap in April. By no means disgraced when fifth off this revised mark at Aintree the following month and he’s not discounted. TFRHHHII BHA132

TIMEFORM VIEW Useful hurdler/chaser who looked better than ever when completing the hat-trick at Cheltenham (20.2f, good) in April. Remains feasibly treated up 6lb but, on the downside, his record when fresh doesn’t augur well. TFRHHHII BHA131
