Tomorrow, ChaseClass 23m1f

Lots with chances but GRAND GESTE rates the pick of the weights (despite being 2 lb out of the handicap) on the back of a fine second at Newcastle and can go one better now to continue the fine form of Joel Parkinson and Sue Smith. Last year's runner-up Jacks Parrot (second choice) looks primed for another bold showing after a recent spin over hurdles at Bangor, while Top of The Bill and Saladins Son came home 1-2 over C&D last time and seem sure to have a say too in a cracking Tommy Whittle.

    Verdict
    Maiden hurdler who is much improved sent chasing, coming in an excellent second (around 2m4f) at Carlisle and Newcastle last month. Up 7 lb here (including 2 lb out of the handicap) but another bold showing is on the cards back up in trip.

    Verdict
    Improved switched to Anthony Honeyball last season, scoring three times, and he ran well on his seasonal return when 7 lengths second of 10 to Top of The Bill over C&D four weeks ago. Enjoys a 9 lb pull in the weights here so is very much one to consider.

    Verdict
    Low-mileage winning hurdler/chaser who shaped well after 11 months off when second of 15 in handicap chase at Cork (21.2f, soft) 27 days ago. Up 7 lb but this Irish challenger must enter calculations.

    Has proved temperamental but he signed off last term with success at Ffos Las and returned from 8 months off with a comfortable all-the-way victory over C&D last month. Hiked up 9 lb but not taken lightly in his current mood.

    A three-time chase winner (at up to 3m2f) in 2023/24. Only twice raced since but he posted a good second of 8 in handicap chase at Carlisle (24.5f, soft) 20 days ago. 7 lb out of the weights here but promising conditional booked.

    Lightly-raced sort but he's won over both hurdles and fences and returned from 10 months off with a respectable fourth of 8 in handicap chase at Bangor (24.1f, heavy) 21 days ago, despite making mistakes. No forlorn hope with cheekpieces added.
