TIMEFORM VIEW Winner of sole start between the flags and, though yet to strike under Rules, she made a positive start over fences when runner-up in 2 1/2m Worcester handicap last time.

TIMEFORM VIEW Completed hat-trick of chase victories in 2019, but he’s not one to set you watch by and is passed over on the back of a tame effort at Newton Abbot. Star RatingHHHII Official BHA Rating 100 TOM O’BRIEN

TIMEFORM VIEW Very modest strike rate over hurdles (1-19) and possibly flattered by his finishing position when second in a 12-runner Worcester handicap (16.5f) on debut in this sphere. Others preferred. Star RatingHHHII Official BHA Rating 96 FERGUS GREGORY (3)

TIMEFORM VIEW Uttoxeter maiden hurdle winner in 2019 and went close at Huntingdon on third start over fences last September. Has failed to match that form since, though, and he looks vulnerable. Star RatingHHIII Official BHA Rating 92 MITCHELL BASTYAN (3)

TIMEFORM VIEW Made it third time lucky in this sphere over C&D last month. Didn’t do much wrong when fourth of 13 off this mark back here next time and he has to enter calculations. Star RatingHHHHI Official BHA Rating 86 MARC GOLDSTEIN

BETTING FORECAST:

3-1 Bagan (GB), 7-2 Makety (GB), 4-1 Air Hair Lair (IRE), 7-1 Pointed And Sharp (IRE), 17-2 Chapati (FR), 14-1 Moans Cross (USA), 20-1 This Breac (IRE), 66-1 Alburn (GB)

RACE SUMMARY:

Preference is for MAKETY, who made an encouraging chase debut off this reduced mark at Worcester and she should have more to offer in this sphere. Bagan will be a threat granted a clear round, but Air Hair Lair has proved consistent since switched to fences and is second choice.
