Had another breathing op and has taken his form to a new level this term, completing his hat-trick in 3m2f Cheltenham handicap last month. Earlier put in a superb jumping display to bag Grand Sefton at Aintree. Likely player once more.

It's now 11 runs since his last win in 2022 but this very useful chaser wasn't disgraced when sixth of 8 to King Turgeon in handicap chase at Cheltenham (26f, good to soft) 34 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up.

Forecasts

King Turgeon (3/1), Katate Dori (10/3), Collectors Item (6/1), My Silver Lining (7/1), Credo (15/2), Sizable Sam (10/1), Take Your Time (10/1), Ask Me Early (14/1), Ballygrifincottage (14/1), The Big Breakaway (25/1)

Verdict

KATATE DORI has created an excellent impression since sent over fences and a 5 lb rise for his comfortable Chepstow victory doesn't look sufficient to prevent him from going 3-3. David Pipe's resurgent King Turgeon rates the obvious threat in his bid to complete a four-timer, although the likes of Take Your Time, Ballygrifincottage and Collectors Item can all have a say too in this cracking handicap.
