Winner of 2m soft-ground Lingfield chase in November. Has been in-and-out since but best effort came last time in four-runner Haydock event (2m4f, heavy) when just bobbed out of it. Same mark today.

7/1
Won small-field affairs at Fakenham and Wetherby in the winter, best effort since when second (of four) over this C&D 22 days ago. This longer trip should not be an inconvenience.

3/1
Scored quick-fire chasing treble in winter of 2015, but 3-11 over fences now and winless since. Started this season with promising efforts over hurdles but since been pulled up at Wetherby and here back chasing. Down in trip, others more likely.

10/1
Most recent win at Chepstow (2m3½f, heavy) off a mark 3lb lower than this. Two runs since turn of the year have been tame, needs the new cheekpieces to spark a revival.

9/1
Impressive winner over this trip on good to firm at Towcester in April. Pair of promising efforts to start this term, including head defeat over C&D in January (heavy). No show next time at Huntingdon, chance if forgiven that run.

5/1
Form this season is nothing to shout about, but seeking to win this race for third successive year. Rated 2lb lower than 12 months ago and, on the back of a wind operation, should take a step in the right direction.

2-7 over hurdles and shaped with promise on chasing bow at Huntingdon in October, though failed miserable to build on that in three outings since turn of the year and a watching brief is advised as such.

9/2
Has been well placed to win four of his last five starts, not always the most fluent at his fences but doesn't stop him. Needs more again here but yard going well again and not one to cross off too hastily.

Forecasts

Crievehill (3/1), Aloomomo (3/1), Stoical Patient (9/2), Morning Reggie (5/1), Movie Legend (7/1), Ckalco Des Loges (8/1), Masterplan (9/1), Flaming Charmer (10/1)

Verdict

Morning Reggie is looking to complete a hat-trick in this contest and is feasibly weighted to do so. His form this season isn't encouraging, but he comes here having underwent wind surgery and could bounce back. Stoical Patient has won from five and while this is a tougher race, she gets weight all round and trainer Gary Moore now has horses firing again. Crievehill was just denied at Haydock last time, while Movie Legend was back to form over this C&D three weeks ago, both have their merits. MASTERPLAN was building a solid profile as a chaser, including being edged out over C&D in January, and if willing to forgive his Huntingdon no-show, he will go close on previous efforts.
