Virgin Bet Novices' Handicap Chase (Go North Forgive 'N Forget Series Qualifier) (GBB Race)

8yo who is 0-8 under rules but has finished second on two of his three chase starts, most recently at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) on New Year's Eve following a long absence; shaped last time as though he would appreciate this step back up in trip; also effective on soft; lots to like.

He's left his hurdle form well behind since switched to fences, winning on chase debut at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to soft) and good efforts on both starts since, most recently second of four over C&D (soft); solid claims.

Challenging when falling two out on chase debut at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft) in November and he kept on for fourth at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) in December; this 3m point winner is open to improvement now stepped up in trip and he could have a part to play.

Promising novice hurdler for Paul Nicholls in 2021-22 season; however, below par in winter 2022-23 and sold for £2,000 in June 2023; absent since and this 11yo is probably best watched on today's chase/stable debut.
