Fairly useful chaser. 11/1, good third of 12 in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (24f, good) 56 days ago. Switches from hurdles to chase. Has to be taken seriously.

Timeform Verdict

NOBLE BIRTH has shaped well on both outings for his new yard, including when third in a 3m handicap chase at Cork in October and, with the return to shorter than 3m looking a good move (no sluggard), he makes plenty of appeal. Bleu d'Enfer can make his presence felt back up in trip if keeping mistakes to a minimum, with Banjaxed and Enjoy The Dream others to consider.

Betting Forecast

5/1 Noble Birth, 8/1 Enjoy The Dream, 7/1 Verdant Place (Ire), 6/1 Banjaxed, 11/2 Bleu D'enfer (Fr), 9/1 Spirit Of Legend (Fr), 28/1 Ossifer Hops (Ire), 17/2 Undeniable Alibi (Fr), 15/2 Lightkeeper (Ire)
