Just 1-8 over hurdles but has ground to suit on chasing debut; no surprise if he features

Ran big race in defeat at Hereford last month and is also suited by this track

Off since below-par run in December but made very good start to chasing career in autumn

Went close over hurdles two runs ago but this inconsistent 10yo seems best on slow ground
1	Almazhar Garde Chestnut J:Paul O'Brien T:Charlie Longsdon	J:Paul O'Brien T:Charlie Longsdon	163	tp	224P1-	117	126	109	25d	—	—	+21	31.1	1.88/1	15/2 12%
Made all off much reduced mark last month; 5lb rise is manageable if he's in the same mood
