4/1
Novice hurdle winner who struck at the second time of asking over fences in 19.5f Chepstow handicap 5 weeks ago. Should have more to offer.

3/1
Bagged 3 hurdle victories last term and built on encouraging fencing bow when winning 3-runner handicap chase at Carlisle (2½m, good to soft) in November. Even better form when third over 2m at Newbury since. Should continue to give a good account.

10/1
Four-time hurdle winner but he hasn't reached the same level in 3 attempts over fences. Not at best back hurdling in a 2m listed race here in October. Given a chance by the handicapper in this sphere but comes with risks back from wind surgery.

5/1
Low-mileage 7-y-o who has won a pair of handicap chases around 2½m this autumn, impressing with his accurate jumping at Sandown latterly. A further 6 lb rise shouldn't prevent him going well on the hat-trick bid.

14/1
Looked a smart prospect in bumpers and a novice hurdle for Chris Gordon in 2022. Showed he retains plenty of ability back from a long absence when second to Iberico Lord in 2-finisher course maiden chase (2¼m) a month ago. This is a much more competitive scenario, though.

6/1
Point/hurdles winner who made it fifth time lucky over fences when seeing off 6 rivals on his C&D reappearance a month ago. Possibly vulnerable to younger rivals in this after a 5 lb rise.

7/1
Won a pair of 19f novice hurdles last winter. Failed to make an impact in handicap hurdles subsequently but more like it switched to fences at Exeter 3 weeks ago, finishing a promising second over 17.5f. More to come, particularly now back up in trip.

33/1
Fairly useful hurdler, including a win in 2m Plumpton handicap in October. However, has run below that level switched to fences in recent weeks and it remains to be seen whether this significant step up in trip makes any difference.

8/1
Cost £250,000 from points and looked good when making all in 19.5f Doncaster maiden hurdle in February. Finished weakly when fifth of 7 on his Cheltenham chase debut but it was his first outing in 7 months and he remains with potential over fences.

Forecasts

Asta La Pasta (3/1), Range (4/1), El Rio (5/1), Es Perfecto (6/1), Fire Flyer (7/1), Leader In The Park (8/1), First Street (10/1), Leave Of Absence (14/1), Tapley (33/1)

Verdict

FIRE FLYER looks the part for chasing and there was plenty to like about his first attempt at Exeter 3 weeks ago. The front-running Range has also taken well to fences and is second choice ahead of Asta La Pasta and the hat-trick seeking El Rio in a competitive opener.
