TIMEFORM VIEW Top-class chaser in his younger days (Betfair Chase winner and third in Cheltenham Gold Cup in 2019-20). Won at Ascot on his reappearance last term so rates a player returning in veterans’ company for in-form yard. TFRHHHHH BHA150

TIMEFORM VIEW Smart winning hurdler who wasn’t disgraced on his return to chasing after almost 4 years away from that sphere when third of 7 in handicap chase at Perth (23.8f) 46 days ago. Needs considering. TFRHHHHI BHA142
