racingtv.com Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

His last two wins have come over C&D (soft), the latest in January when last seen; also effective on good ground; this 10yo is inconsistent and has never won off a mark this high, but he comfortably made all last time and could well make another bold bid if he's on another going day.

Won at Cartmel (2m1f, good) last August on penultimate run for Robbie Llewellyn and he scored on his stable debut at Fakenham (2m5f, soft) in December; he didn't look straightforward on that latest outing but this course winner is entitled to respect nevertheless.

12yo whose form has been up and down since he won at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) last February but he's dropped down the weights and performed respectably at Ayr (2m, heavy) in December when last seen; he could benefit from today's step back up in trip and he's in with a chance.

He's run well to be second on two of his last three starts (2m3f/2m4f, good/soft), most recently at Southwell four weeks ago; he's 4lb higher than last time but was clear with a progressive winner; high on the list.
