Verdict
It may pay to take a chance on DISCO ANNIE who has had excuses on her last 2 starts and, entitled to come on a little for her latest run over hurdles, it would come as no surprise to see a better showing returned to chasing over this shorter trip. Garde des Champs has become expensive to follow but a repeat of his latest Kelso second can see him feature. Schmilsson is another to note now tackling larger obstacles for the first time.

VerdictSecond hurdle success when shading a tight finish in 2m Wetherby handicap back in October. Form rather up and down subsequently but seemingly perked up by application of cheekpieces when third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Haydock (15.6f) 25 days ago. Respected now chasing. - 1.

VerdictHurdles winner here who is on a losing run (maiden over fences) but went agonisingly close to bucking that trend after 6 months off when just touched off in 9-runner handicap chase at Kelso (20f) 37 days ago. A repeat should see him firmly in the mix again. - 3. Disco AnnieJ: Nathan MoscropT: Rebecca MenziesF: 27116250-

VerdictLanded a hurdles double at Carlisle during the winter and made a promising chase debut when runner-up at the same venue in December. Not seen to best effect either start over fences/hurdles since and no surprise to see a better showing returned to 2m.

VerdictFair maiden for Gordon Elliott and made a sound start for new connections when second in a 2m Hexham maiden hurdle (16.2f) in March. However, not replicated that either start since and significant drop back in trip needs to have positive effect now chasing.

Verdict4-time winner over hurdles who ran well when runner-up here (16.2f) in November. Not matched that level subsequently and switch to this discipline failed to spark a revival at Sedgefield when last seen in November. Work to do on return operating from 10 lb out of the weights.- Unnamed Favourite
