BALLYBEGG is potentially interesting off his lower chase mark now that he's back on track so gets the vote over Climbing and Nickelforce.

VerdictMaiden hurdler but opened chase account at the fourth attempt at Kempton (20.5f, good to soft) in November. Excellent comeback when close second at Hereford last month and should go well again. - 3. NickelforceJ: Harry BannisterT: Ben CaseF: 134/311U5-

VerdictConsistent over hurdles and found immediate improvement sent chasing in the autumn, successful over C&D before finding another chunk of progress to follow up at Ludlow. Let down by jumping next 2 starts but potentially a strong contender back from a break. - Ballybegg

VerdictHeld his form well for the most part last season. Looked to have gone off the boil but he bounced back when winning at Ludlow last month, albeit in a race that rather fell apart. Opposable back up in the weights.- Unnamed Favourite
