JJ Crossfield's Sundowner Handicap Chase

Flat/hurdle winner who left Dan Skelton for 4,400gns; finished a clear second at Hexham (1m7f, good to soft; effective on good) on stable/chase debut and the revitalised winner has struck again since; gets in here off the same mark.

Not in flying form earlier this year but all three career wins have been at Cartmel, the last two over fences; the concern is the conditions as he does enjoy significant cut underfoot.

Close second over fences at Catterick in January (1m7f, good) but mainly poor efforts since, the latest in a selling hurdle.

Usually saves his best for Sedgefield, where he won over fences in April (subsequent fourth was over hurdles); two visits here has produced a second place; no surprise to see him run well.

Runner-up on his only previous run here and returns on the back of a third chase win, gained at Catterick in December (1m7f, good to soft; fine on good); if fit enough then he should be competitive off a fair mark.
