Very much on a going day when making a winning start for Christian Williams at Haydock just after Christmas but back to looking unenthusiastic when pulling up in 2 outings in the spring. Changed hands for £10,000 in May. Not one for maximum faith but fresh may be the time to catch him.

Rattled off a quick-fire 5-timer in May/June and gained another win in an excellent first half of the season in the Durham National at Sedgefield (29f, good) a fortnight ago. Raised another 4 lb but hard to rule out in current mood.

Up-and-down record over fences, winning twice and pulling up twice from 4 outings last season. His stable's good form this autumn provides hope that this reappearance might be one of his good days.

Aintree reappearance success last Christmas shows he goes well fresh. Ended his campaign with a creditable fourth of 19 in handicap at Punchestown (31f, good) in May. Only 2 lb above the mark he defied at Aintree.

Timeform Verdict

With the Twiston-Davies stable in form it's worth taking a chance that GUARD THE MOON, who has a good record fresh, is on a going day on his reappearance. Caughtinyourtrance has developed into a likeable and consistent handicap chaser in the first half of this season and is second choice ahead of Grand Geste, a fine second on this card on last season's reappearance.

Betting Forecast

14/1 Grozni (Fr), 12/1 Egbert, 6/1 Grand Geste (Ire), 7/2 Passengerontheship (Ire), 6/1 Guard The Moon, 9/1 Fortunate Man (Ire), 7/2 Caughtinyourtrance (Ire), 14/1 Orkney Blue
