Furness Rda Handicap Steeple Chase

Ghasham arrives on the back of a third last time out and a win four starts back, and has experience of today's trip and going; the weight of 168 lb is the one factor punters will watch closely.

Rated highest in the field here and carrying 164 lb, Achille Des Rocs has run over today's trip and returns after a 40-day break that may have freshened him; the stark concern is three consecutive pulls-up in recent starts.

Forcetoreckonwith showed plenty of ability when winning two starts back and was a close second three starts back, underlining her claims here, and she has experience on today's going; the chief concern is a 130-day absence since that fourth-place return.

Cuzco Du Mathan has run over today's trip and going, returns after 44 days off, and our rating of 105 puts him second of these on the figures, though he'll need to find improvement on recent starts to end a winless run.

Winless in his last five starts, with a pulled-up among recent efforts, Wearelongterm is hard to fancy from a rating rank of seventh of eight; he has run over today's going before and 42 days between runs at least suggests he returns fresh.
