TIMEFORMVIEW Useful chaser at his best for Henry de Bromhead but well held both starts over hurdles for new yard so plenty to prove back chasing. TFRHIIII

TIMEFORM VIEW Useful chaser who proved all the sharper for a comeback run over hurdles when taking advantage of reduced mark back over fences at Wincanton 6 weeks ago. Only 2lb higher here so obvious claims. TFRHHHHH

TIMEFORMVIEW Scored twice over fences in 2019/20 and given a considerate ride having been off track for 14 months at Wetherby. Made a bad mistake at Haydock next time so worth another chance to build on comeback. TFRHHHII

TIMEFORM VIEW Useful handicap chaser for Colin Tizzard at his peak and big step back in the right direction when second over C&D. Disappointed over hurdles next time but not taken lightly back chasing. TFRHHHII

TIMEFORM VIEW Pair of handicap chase wins this term and no disgrace in being unable to live with a smart prospect at Haydock last time. Likely to give another good account. TFRHHHHI
