Every Race Live On Racing TV Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

A winner twice in his last five starts and comfortable at today's trip and going, he prefers to force the pace and is effective on a sound surface; inconsistent by nature and well beaten when stepped up in grade last time, but 1lb lower today offers marginally more favourable terms.

Dependably consistent with two wins in his last five starts, he powered clear by 9 lengths at Fakenham last time from a slightly lower mark — well suited to today's trip and a sound surface, he looks a solid proposition and must be respected in this small field.

Landed a handicap at Worcester last time with a combination of front-running and cleaner jumping, racing from only 2lb higher today — she heads our figures comfortably and her pace-setting style suits a small-field test; tongue-tie added for the first time, though the 22-furlong trip tests the outer limit of her proven stamina range.

Landed a point-to-point by 15 lengths recently and returns under rules for the first time in nearly three years — his stamina at this trip is not in doubt and cheekpieces are added; the key question is how his pointing form will translate back into handicap company.
