TIMEFORM VIEW Progressed again when winning for the second time in novice chase campaign at Lingfield in January. Could never land a blow in the Scottish National when last seen in April but this looks a good place to start back in. TFRHHHHH BHA142

TIMEFORM VIEW Point winner who took a Hexham maiden hurdle on return in September. Didn’t cope with the fences and no match for Sebastopol on chase debut at Chepstow 4 weeks ago.

PLAY SMARTER
Given the yard he represents, FANTASTIKAS is likely to be fully tuned for this reappearance and at the likely prices, he’s taken to outstay Pic D’orhy, who is the one to beat at the weights but has never shaped as though in need of 3m.
