FORTUNATE MAN posted a personal best when only narrowly failing to score at Carlisle earlier this month and is unexposed as a staying chaser. He can open his account over fences here. Ikarak and Duke of Deception should also go well.

    Verdict
    €210,000 buy after winning an Irish point 18 months ago and successful on 2 of his 3 completed starts over hurdles last season. Left chase debut form behind when second of 12 in Carlisle handicap (24.5f, soft) 25 days ago and likely has more to offer yet.

    Verdict
    Bounced back to form, on debut for new yard, when winning 8-runner handicap hurdle (5/4) at Warwick (25f, soft) 36 days ago. Won twice over larger obstacles in France in 2022 and looks fairly treated back in that sphere. Respected.

    Verdict
    Sole success over fences to date came in 3-runner affair at Exeter back in February 2023 and failed to build on encouraging Badger Beer Chase return at Newcastle last month. Others more appealing.

    Verdict
    Three-time winner over fences who returned to best form, in first-time tongue strap, when good third of 7 in handicap chase at Wetherby (24.2f, heavy, 6/1) 19 days ago. Races off same mark here and ought to go well again.

    Verdict
    Showed fairly useful form over hurdles for Tom George prior to making a successful chasing debut at Auteuil for N. George & A. Zetterholm in May. Not at that level for present yard but posted creditable second on return in Wetherby handicap (24.2f, good) last month and is entitled to build on that.

    Winner of 4 of his 12 starts over fences but was more miss than hit last term and it's been a similar story in a trio of outings this season.

    Verdict
    Successful on 3 of his 4 starts in Irish points so no surprise he left hurdles form behind when making a winning chase debut at Kelso on return last season. Made the frame on next 5 starts but shaped as if amiss on return at Carlisle earlier this month.
