Kauto The King (Fr)

Trainer: Joe Tizzard
Jockey: Brendan Powell
Age: 9
Weight: 11st 13lbs
OR: 120

Completed a hat-trick at the start of last summer, with the first leg coming in this race. Hasn't hit the same heights since but dangerous to dismiss having dipped to only 2 lb above last year's mark.

No. 3

Umndeni (Fr)

Trainer: Philip Hobbs & Johnson White
Jockey: Ben Jones
Age: 9
Weight: 11st 8lbs
OR: 115

Form:

Won off 6 lb higher mark over hurdles at Newton Abbot in August 2021 but hasn't offered that much in 3 handicap hurdles since returning from a 15-month absence. Remains to be seen whether a return to fences helps to spark a revival.

No. 6

Courtland (Ire)

Trainer: Peter Bowen
Jockey: Sean Bowen
Age: 8
Weight: 11st 2lbs
OR: 109

Form:

Took well to chasing with 2m wins at Ffos Las and Newton Abbot in summer 2021. Well below par in 4 starts last season but is starting to look very well handicapped for a yard among the winners in recent days. Worth chancing.

No. 4

Ragamuffin (Ire)

Trainer: Neil Mulholland
Jockey: Sam Twiston-Davies
Age: 8
Weight: 11st 8lbs
OR: 115

Form:

Progressive hurdler who took well to fences last summer, winning 3 times. Presumably needed his recent reappearance at Huntingdon but he will need to have come on a good bit in a fairly short time. Has first-time cheekpieces added to his regular tongue tie.

No. 2

Balko Saint (Fr)

Trainer: Mrs Jane Williams
Jockey: David Noonan
Age: 6
Weight: 11st 10lbs
OR: 117

Form:

Dual winner over hurdles and went close to a first chase success when beaten only a neck at Wincanton in February. Filled the runner-up spot over fences again at Kempton (20.5f) last time. Should go well again.

Timeform Verdict

It might be worth taking a chance on COURTLAND bouncing back to form as he's come down a long way in the weights and his stable is going pretty well at present. Balko Saint is second choice ahead of last year's winner Kauto The King.

Betting Forecast

11/2 Kauto The King (Fr), 15/2 Umndeni (Fr), 5/1 Courtland (Ire), 7/1 Ragamuffin (Ire), 6/4 Balko Saint (Fr)
