Bet Boost At bet365 Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Bumper (soft) and 2m4f hurdle winner (good); without a win since 2021 and recent form hasn't hinted that the drought is about to end.

2m4f hurdle winner at this track; both wins have come on a sound surface; 0-5 over fences; arrives on a handy mark after being well beaten in an AW race and over hurdles at Southwell in two starts since joining his current trainer; more needed.

Dual 2m4f chase winner on testing ground; well treated on his form of 12 months ago when with Olly Murphy; needs to be much better than in his three starts so far for this trainer; has had wind surgery since last month's Wetherby appearance.

Stays 3m and acts on the forecast sound surface; 50-1, always behind and pulled up on his return from 13 months off the track at Wetherby on latest start; bit to prove.

Standing dish here with all five career wins having come at the venue and on slow ground, including over this trip; produced one of his better efforts when second here last Boxing Day but not as good since; back on a very handy mark and can go well.
