Andy Calvert Celebration Handicap Chase

Has won four times over hurdles; two sound runs over fences, last time finishing second over C&D (good) in a race that has worked out well (third and fourth have both won since); handles easier ground; down in grade; leading contender.

Ex-Gordon Elliott; 15-race maiden; two fair runs over fences, both at Perth, finishing second to subsequent winner on first occasion (2m, good); had a stiff task last time (5lb out of the handicap); down in grade; each-way chance.

Runner-up on only start pointing in Ireland in February last year (3m, yielding); modest efforts over hurdles and well beaten on chase debut at Market Rasen this month; unexposed and a possible improver; cheekpieces now tried; bit to prove.

Placed in two Irish points; 0-11 over hurdles although has been placed on a couple of occasions; fell three out when travelling well in this race last year on only start over fences (good; went back hurdling afterwards); a possible.

Won a novice handicap chase at Catterick in December (1m7f, good) when with Harriet Dickin; some fair efforts after that; sold for £9,000 in April; interesting on stable debut.
