He went very close in a Chepstow handicap and is 4lb higher today. This in not a strong race and Philip Hobbs has his horses in top form right now.

This well bred 2yo has showed promise in two outing and loos an ideal opportunity for him to grace the winning enclosure.

Has showed some good form over hurdles winning three times last season. He may not have been at his best in Grade 1 company and now makes his chasing debut.

Warren Greatrex has a 50% strike rate in bumper here in the last three years. North Star Oscar ran fourth here over C&D in what looked a warm race last month and with improvement to come he should go very close.

I have a good ward for Eve Harrington in the 12.20 at Southwell.

Nicky Henderson has a very good record in this novice hurdle and this ex pointer won his only race in grand style. This well made type has been working well on the build up to this.

He caught the eye in running last time out and got tired jumping the last fence. With improvement to come i think he has a sound chance of being in the money.
