66/1
Dual-winning hurdler who posted a career best when runner-up on Newbury chase debut last December. Disappointed over hurdles in February (final start for Nicky Henderson) and low-key start for new yard when pulled up returned to chasing at Stratford in October. Tongue tie fitted.

28/1
Pretty useful novice hurdler for Willie Mullins during 2021/22 campaign, best effort when third in the Ballymore at the Cheltenham Festival. Has never stood much racing and he looked rusty on handicap/stable debut at Kelso in May. Off since.

7/2
Good strike rate over hurdles and took switch to chasing in his stride when landing 5-runner handicap at Ayr a month ago. Should be plenty more to come from him.

7/2
Ended last term on the up over hurdles, scoring at Ayr and Haydock before a very good fourth in 3m Ayr handicap in the spring. Has the potential to make a better chaser so he demands a second look.

3/1
Well-bred bumper winner who showed a good attitude to make a successful hurdling debut in maiden at Chepstow (19.5f) a year ago. Wasn't able to repeat that effort in his 2 subsequent outings but goes well fresh and is one to note as he makes chase/handicap bow.

9/4
£80,000 purchase after winning his only start in Irish points and justified favouritism in a maiden/novice over 20.3f at Newcastle during the spring. Good chase prospect.

9/1
Winning chase debut from out of the weights at Cartmel in May but not in the same form all 3 starts since, fitted with cheekpieces latest.

Forecasts

Beneficially Yours (9/4), Heros De Romay (3/1), White Rhino (7/2), President Scottie (7/2), Kilta (9/1), Whatdeawant (28/1), Walking On Air (66/1)

Verdict

This looks a strong race for the field size with WHITE RHINO the percentage call having made a seamless transition to fences at Ayr a month ago. Chase newcomers Beneficially Yours, President Scottie and Heros de Romay all have something to recommend them, though.
