TIMEFORM VIEW Four-time hurdle winner who made a winning chase debut in 5-runner handicap at Uttoxeter (2m) in July.

LARCH HILL and Atlantic Storm occupied the first two positions in a C&D handicap last month and they may well come to the fore again, with the Pogson runner taken to uphold the form. Sir Tivo usually gives his running at this level and is another to note.
