Useful hurdler who showed aptitude for chasing when runner-up in a 3-runner Uttoxeter maiden in December. Very much the type to progress and boasts leading claims with cheekpieces back on.

Useful hurdler. No match for smart Chantry House on his Ascot chase debut (19f) in November but it was a satisfactory start over fences. Hampered and unseated next time, so remains with potential.

Point winner who didn't cut much ice in a bumper/novice hurdle for Nicky Henderson and now debuts for a much smaller yard switched to fences. Makes no appeal.

Merely hinted at ability in a bumper on debut then well held on completed start over hurdles. Hard to make any sort of case for now chasing.

Timeform Verdict Timeform Verdict

This looks a match between UMBRIGADO and Up The Straight, who are both open to improvement in this discipline. The first-named was the superior hurdler and made a reasonable chasing debut at Uttoxeter 37 days ago, so he's taken to prevail.

Betting Forecast

4/6 Umbrigado (Ire), 6/4 Up The Straight (Ire), 100/1 Staithes (Ire), 66/1 Born At Midnight
