Bridles New Luxury Care Home Handicap Chase

Front-runner who hasn't offered a great deal since returning from nearly a year out and it's seldom easy for veterans to rediscover their form; however, this is a much easier race than he's accustomed to.

Suited by good or quicker ground; similar sort of form in his last four races in handicaps from 2m4f to 3m1f; this trip is on the tight side but he's in a weak race and might be ridden forcefully.

Dual hurdle winner and only 2lb higher than for his win at Hereford in December; however, didn't look a natural on last month's chase debut and was pulled up.

Three-time Flat winner and successful four times over hurdles; however, hasn't been running all that well under either code following a year on the sidelines and this is a belated first attempt at chasing.

Lightly raced maiden but he was backed on last month's chase/handicap debut at Hereford (2m, good) and ran well to a point (beaten 14l); could build on that.
