ChaseClass 22m2f

With Ben Pauling continuing to knock in the winners BAD looks sure to give it a good shot on the back of his fine run in the Paddy Power at Cheltenham. Issam has taken really well to fences and is second choice ahead of The Famous Five and General Medrano.

    Verdict
    Three chase wins at Kempton since February, including reappearance in October. Bang there for a long way in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham (2½m, soft) since and bold show likely back over a shorter trip and in a slightly easier race.

    Verdict
    Won 2m Newbury handicap chase last December. Just as good when runner-up at Chepstow (19.5f) and back at Newbury (2m) on his final 2 outings of last season and no surprise were he to go on to even better things this term.

    Verdict
    Made it 2-3 over fences when seeing off 5 rivals on Wetherby reappearance (19f, soft) 35 days ago. This is a deeper race but he appeals as one who could have more to offer in this sphere.

    Verdict
    Shaped as if as good as ever when fourth on 17f course reappearance in November. Not in the same form when sixth at Newbury 4 weeks later but he's starting to look well handicapped again and Sean Bowen has been booked.

    Verdict
    Useful hurdler and quickly reached a similar standard over fences last season, scoring at Uttoxeter before good second over this C&D. Reappeared with a creditable second at Kelso in October but could only manage fourth in a deeper race at Newbury since.

    Verdict
    Runner-up in this last year and ended last season with a win at Newton Abbot in April. Shaped well when second in Badger Beers at Wincanton (25f) on his return after wind surgery but stopped quickly when pulled up at Newbury since. Blinkers reached for after that.
