Kempton

Today, ChaseClass 23mGood

C&D winner THE DOYEN CHIEF ran well for a long way when fifth in a much deeper handicap at Cheltenham 4 weeks ago, only finding his stamina ebbing away late in the day. A return to this less demanding track can see Alan King's strong-travelling type to much better effect and he can strike. Sandown scorer Welcome to Cartries and Soul Icon could be the dangers.

    Verdict
    On the up with handicap wins over C&D and Warwick last March and shaped well when second on return at Bangor. Easy to overlook his Newbury run next time and he was quickly back to form when fifth at Cheltenham (26.3f) 4 weeks ago, his stamina ebbing away late. Interesting back at 3m.

    Verdict
    Useful hurdler and similar standard over larger obstacles, leaving his reappearance run in his wake when prevailing in a narrow finish at Sandown (24.2f) 5 weeks ago. Definite possibilities with a repeat having been nudged up 4 lb.

    Verdict
    Went back-to-back at Plumpton (25.7f) in the spring. Without headgear mix and looked rusty after 7 months off when sixth of 7 in handicap chase at Wincanton (20.2f, soft) 37 days ago and this tougher again up in class from out of the weights. Blinkers/tongue tie refitted.

    Verdict
    Career best when landing a C&D handicap in first-time blinkers last Christmas. Signed off with a good third in Pat Taaffe Chase at Punchestown in May but he's yet to fire in pair of starts so far this winter. Has it to prove at present.

    Verdict
    Prolific over hurdles and won a Grade 2 handicap chase here (2m) last Christmas. Failed to build on that in 3 subsequent runs last term but best not judged on his reappearance when unseating in the Badger Ales at Wincanton (25.1f) in November. This can see him in a better light.

    Verdict
    Often finds less than looks likely but he is a 4-time winner over fences, latterly at Uttoxeter (20f) in spring 2024. Shaped as if retaining his ability despite his old failings being in evidence when last of 4 on belated return at Ascot (21f) in November and that has to be a concern ahead of this.
