TIMEFORM VIEW Off mark at 4th attempt in Irish points and has made a promising start under Rules over hurdles, winning Chepstow maiden then scoring at Carlisle. Took his record to 3-4 when defying a double penalty back in a novice at Newcastle in April, he could have a say in proceedings now sent chasing. TFRHHHHH BHA124

TIMEFORM VIEW Lightly raced in recent seasons but got right back on track for his new yard when landing 3-runner handicap chase at Fontwell (21.6f). Shaped like a non-stayer back up in trip at Fakenham next time and this test more suitable. Has had a breathing op. TFRHHHHI BHA122

TIMEFORM VIEW Posted best effort over timber when fourth of 17 in Grade 3 handicap here (19.8f) final start last season. Matched that form when beaten only by a thriving sort on chase bow at Uttoxeter on return and open to improvement in this sphere.

PLAY SMARTER
Claims can be made for all 5 but Irish-point winner GIT MAKER won 3 of his 4 starts over hurdles last season and could be on a good mark sent chasing on return. Solo is possibly at his very best when fresh (just touched off by subsequent winner on reappearance last season) so is feared most.
