Race of the Day / Timeform / 17 November 2011 /

Timeform take a look at an interesting novices' handicap chase at Hereford on Thursday...

Doeslessthanme was a hurdles winner at Kelso in 2010/11 for Howard Johnson. Off the mark over fences on debut for current yard at Fontwell last month, and now gets the assistance of first-time blinkers.

Get It On was a dual hurdles winner last season and made faultless start to chasing career at Sedgefield in September. Solid second in novice at Fakenham last time and likely to be on premises once more.

Pyracantha left Alan Swinbank after breaking duck over fences in April. Returned to form when scoring at Bangor in first-time cheekpieces in September but not built on that since, let down by jumping latest.

Invictus finally came good over hurdles when beating subsequent winner at Ascot in April. Point winner earlier in his career and entitled to plenty of respect making chase debut on reappearance.

Sherwani Wolf left previous hurdles efforts behind when relishing heavy ground to score at Chepstow in February. Switched to fences for first start in 8 months but conditions may be quicker than ideal.

Sunsetten kept the mistakes to a minimum when winning 2½m maiden chase on fifth try in this sphere in July. That not the case on all 3 starts since, and others look safer propositions.

Present to You was a winning hurdler last season and running creditably over fences of late, second at Uttoxeter last time. However, not entirely straightforward and cheekpieces now tried.

Timeform 1-2-3:
1. Invictus
2. Get It On
3. Doeslessthanme

Timeform View: Invictus appeals as the type to do better over fences this season and is taken to make a winning chase debut. Get It On and Doeslessthanme may give him most to do.
