Lightly raced 7yo but this looks tough on chase debut and he's untried at this trip

Won by 10l on chase debut at Exeter (3m, heavy) in February; big player on return

On dangerous mark but has bit to prove and needs new headgear to give him a boost

On dangerous mark on her return and she's one to keep an eye on for in-form yard
2	Art Decco Brown J:Harry Kimber T:Robert Walford	J:Harry Kimber T:Robert Walford	158	p	1/251-	127	143	106	247d	—	—	+20	28.8	2.50/1	10/1 9%
5-13 over fences and still on workable mark but he's ideally suited by soft/heavy going
3	Jeffery's Cross Bay J:Mr Sean O'Connor(7) T:Dan Skelton	J:Mr Sean O'Connor(7) T:Dan Skelton	157	—	P41-23	126	140	99	149d	—	—	+14	20.8	3.50/1	14/1 7%
Won a hunter chase in the spring and he's respected back in a handicap on his return
5	Bretney Bay J:David Bass T:Henry Daly	J:David Bass T:Henry Daly	154	p	71PP-P	123	143	106	173d	—	—	+17	18.8	25.00/1	100/1 1%
Six wins over fences but he's been pulled up in last three runs and needs a major revival
