Always A Reason
Having gone the right way over hurdles, ALWAYS A REASON took further strides forward in first-time cheekpieces (retained here) when making a winning chase debut at Newcastle 15 days ago, jumping/travelling well and asserting gradually. A 5 lb rise for that looks fair and Rebecca Menzies' 7-y-o makes plenty of appeal once more. Zero Tolerance following his solid reappearance third here rates next best, ahead of Starman.

Winning Irish pointer who went the right way as a hurdler and duly improved again in first-time cheekpieces when landing 9-runner handicap chase at Newcastle (20.1f) on debut over fences 15 days ago, asserting gradually. Type to do better again and he's a lead player.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosNewcastle2m 4f 19yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase1/9Carlisle2m 3f 61ySoftHurdle2/8Southwell2m 4f 88yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle1/8Carlisle2m 3f 61ySoftHurdle5/11Hexham2m 4f 28yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle5/10- 3Ailt An ChorrainJ: Brian HughesE: Patrick Neville217-P86Âge 75/25/29/4

A fair 2m4f winner over hurdles but not always fluent and he went backwards from his chase debut effort when sixth of 9 in handicap at Sedgefield (19.3f) 5 weeks ago. Application of first-time blinkers needs to have a positive effect with Brian Hughes now back in the plate.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosSedgefield2m 3f 65yGood to SoftChase6/9Newcastle2m 4f 19yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase8/9Perth2m 4f 35ySoftHurdlepu/9Perth2m 4f 35yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle7/9Newcastle2m 4f 62yGood (Good to Firm in places)Hurdle1/5- 4Zero ToleranceJ: Conor RingE: Evan Williams2243-23Âge 94/110/37/2

Still a maiden but plenty of placed efforts to his name over fences, returning to the pick of his form after 7 months off when close-up third of 5 in handicap chase at this course (15.7f, good) 45 days ago. Has a race in him from this sort of mark and return to further rates a likely plus.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosCatterick Bridge1m 7f 145yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase3/5Sedgefield2m 5f 28yGood (Good to Firm in places)Chase2/2Uttoxeter2m 4fGood to SoftChase3/6Warwick3m 1f 100yGood to SoftChase4/10Chepstow2m 7f 131yGood to SoftChase2/13- 2StarmanJ: Tom MidgleyE: Joanne Foster85F-8P2Âge 107/17/115/2

Struggled to make an impact in Ireland last season. Also well held in handicap hurdles on first 2 starts for this yard but fared a lot better back chasing when runner-up here (15.7f, good) on New Year's Day. Claims if he can back that up returned to a longer trip. Tongue strap on 1st time.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosCatterick Bridge1m 7f 145yGoodChase2/5Sedgefield2m 3f 188ySoftHurdlepu/11Carlisle2m 1fSoftHurdle8/10Clonmel2m 160ySoft (Yielding in places)ChaseF/13Limerick2m 5fHeavy (Soft to Heavy in places)Hurdle5/11- 1DalyotinJ: Nathan MoscropE: Rebecca MenziesP/P4Âge 1012/112/114/1

4-time chase scorer who shaped as if in need of the run after 6 months off when fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (19.3f, soft) 61 days ago (also badly hampered fourth). Can take a step forward back chasing here.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosCarlisle2m 3f 61ySoftHurdle4/10Cartmel2m 5f 34yGood to SoftChasepu/6Clairefontaine2m 3f 85yVery softChasepu/10Carlisle2m 4fGood to SoftChase1/11Carlisle2m 4fHeavy (Soft in places)Chase6/10
