Bet £10 Get £40 With BetMGM Handicap Chase (Challenger Staying Chase Series Qualifier) (GBB Race)

Competitive off this sort of mark at Cheltenham (3m+) last season but not on his first two starts this campaign and he was never dangerous at Ascot on third attempt; has worn cheekpieces for over two years but now switches to first-time visor in revival bid; also dropped in class.

Winner of the Durham National and Southern National in 2023 and scored three times in summer 2024; runner-up twice last May but the lesser displays since are a worry; this is his lowest mark since October 2023 and connections turn to cheekpieces.

Low-mileage 7yo who made most and held on well to make a winning seasonal/chase debut at Taunton (3m, good to firm) in November; raised only 3lb and should have more to offer.

Considerable promise during last season's novice hurdle campaign, making all at Hereford (3m2f, good to soft; by 13l from Wicked Thoughts) in February; two poor results since may well be forgivable, the latter on handicap/chase debut at Sandown four weeks ago when he was 20-1 and should have benefited from the run; strong feeling persists that he will prove capable of better.
