Pete Ball 60th Birthday Celebration Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Won over hurdles for Gordon Elliott in the spring (2m3f, yielding) and launched chasing career with good second at Kilbeggan (2m4f, good) in June; not quite in same form again since, though, and was sold for 17,000gns after last month's heavy fall; could be on tough mark for stable debut.

Absent since pulled up for James Moffatt in March but ran well in her other three chases last season (all 2m4f); can probably cope with today's drop back in trip and the forecast rain will be very much in her favour; dangerous to ignore on debut for Robbie Llewellyn.

Completed hat-trick when making all to beat Harel Du Marais at Southwell (2m, good) in May, after a break, but has suffered three heavy defeats since; swaps visor for refitted cheekpieces; rain a likely negative.

Versatile and prolific 10yo with 15 career wins under all codes; on a very tempting chase mark now but wasn't at best on either appearance this year (Flat/hurdles) and may need the ground to remain good here.

Four-time hurdle winner who ran quite well on the first of his two chasing attempts in November; not at best on latest couple of hurdling starts but reverts to fences on a very good mark and rain won't bother him.
