TIMEFORM VIEW Won 2m handicap for 4-y-os at Chepstow on return last season and contested some of the best 2m handicaps after, albeit failing to land a blow. Looks a chasing type so must be taken seriously.

TIMEFORM VIEW Improved when making all at Newton Abbot and not disgraced in Welsh Champion Hurdle at Ffos Las on return. Shaped encouragingly on chase debut at Chepstow and should improve.

PLAY SMARTER THYME WHITE showed useful form over hurdles last season and this chasing type makes plenty of appeal switched to fences on return. Amarillo Sky made an encouraging start in this sphere when fourth at Chepstow and is feared most.
