Gaynor Carr Memorial Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Had three runs following wind surgery and two of them positive, here last time jumping well in front and coming home clear (2m, good); can probably cope with this 6lb higher mark and he handles softer ground.

Back from a break to win three of his four handicaps under Rian Corcoran and they did it readily at Lingfield latest (2m, good to soft); he's up another 6lb and the jockey claimed 10lb last time, but clearly a strong contender.

Won twice over fences in France; joined this yard for 30,000euros; beaten 21l into seventh on British debut at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft; 11-1) but that was after a break of 162 days and a hood now goes on; may fare better.

Lightly raced 6yo who has had two races since returning from a year out and his handicap/chase debut at Bangor last time was forgettable; now in cheekpieces and others look safer.

Won three times over hurdles last season and made a winning debut over fences at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) despite the odd mistake; that's fair form given how well the second fared the time before; just 3lb higher.
