AIRTOTHETHRONE failed to meet expectations on his return at Southwell but he's potentially well handicapped now and is worth another chance second-time up for in-form yard. To Be Sure won this race 2 years ago off a higher mark and should make another bold bid after his rejuvenated second at Exeter, while claims can also be made for the unexposed Pride of Paris, who made an eye-catching debut for this yard at Chepstow.

    Verdict
    Cost a fair bit and decent start to life in handicaps when second at Southwell 2 years ago. Not seen since, however, and market should reveal expectations on chase bow. Tongue strap on for 1st time.

    Verdict
    Failed to meet expectations starting out for this yard at Southwell 5 weeks ago but might have needed the run more than anticipated after 3 months off. Has now dipped below last winning mark so could be worth another chance. Usual tongue strap left off.

    Verdict
    Improved to make a winning handicap hurdle debut at Fontwell over a year ago. Failed to complete on both outings later in the spring (including on chase debut) but made eye-catching debut for this yard after 9 months off when fifth at Chepstow. Interesting contender back over fences.

    Verdict
    Fair form on standout run over hurdles but failed to complete on first 2 starts over fences this season. Ran one of his better races when fourth of 7 here (19.4f, heavy) but failed to back that up at Chepstow since.

    Verdict
    Placed twice from 4 starts over hurdles in France and has shown improved form over fences this season, in reapplied tongue tie when getting off the mark here (19.4f, heavy) in November. Lesser efforts since but return to this venue a possible plus.

    Maiden over hurdles but was a good second at Exeter on penultimate start. Not in same form under different conditions since but should make a chaser (winning Irish pointer).

    Verdict
    A fair 2m4f hurdles scorer. Made mistakes when a never-dangerous second of 5 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (16f, heavy) on his debut over fences and again didn't convince with his jumping back up in trip when fourth at Exeter.
