TIMEFORMVIEW Hasn’t had much racing as a chaser and justified support with a gutsy success in the mud at Haydock last time. Had a hard race there, but remains with scope and has only gone up 3lb. TFRHHHHI

TIMEFORM VIEW Fairly useful hurdler and similar form over fences. Hard to catch right nowadays and was pulled up at Wincanton last month. Others make more appeal. TFRHHIII 36
