6/1
Talented but rather frustrating type who remains a maiden in this sphere, running below his best when sixth in 18-runner Great Yorkshire Chase 2 weeks ago. Cheekpieces worn then again the headgear of choice and he's capable of playing a part if shrugging off latest effort.

5/4
Lightly-raced winner over hurdles who has progressed well for switch to chasing, landing back-to-back handicaps here prior to a solid second at Cheltenham (25.2f) 6 weeks ago. Feasible to think there's more to come and big player here.

11/1
Useful hurdler who won handicaps at Kempton (21f) and Aintree (24.7f) in 2021. Encouraging he confirmed he retains much of his ability when third on belated return/chase debut at Carlisle (20f) in October and open to improvement provided he can stand more regular racing.

4/1
Didn't really go on over hurdles after notching a Grade 2 novice hurdle win at Cheltenham last year but twice run well following switch to chasing, 7 lengths third of 7 in novices' handicap at Hereford (20.9f) 12 days ago. However, suspect his present mark is about right.

7/2
Likeable sort who was a useful novice hurdler last term, the highlight being a 3m Haydock Grade 2 success. Promising start over fences when fourth at Exeter in November and given a break having finished tired in 3-runner Leicester maiden a month later. Remains type to do better.

Forecasts

Inch House (5/4), Makin'yourmindup (7/2), Rock My Way (4/1), Mister Coffey (6/1), Hitching Jacking (13/2), Hometown Boy (11/1)

Verdict

INCH HOUSE has showed much improved form following his switch to chasing, landing back-to-back handicaps here before finishing a good second at Cheltenham 6 weeks ago. Open to further improvement, he can come out on top again. Makin'yourmindup and Mister Coffey head up the dangers.
