Laffer Curve
Cases can be made for most, but LAFFER CURVE would have gone close to making a successful chasing debut but for a mistake 4 out at Worcester recently. With further improvement on the cards, Dan Skelton's 5-y-o can open her account. Passengerontheship arrives in search of a course 4-timer so he's an obvious danger, while stable-switcher Ostend would add another layer of intrigue should he take his chance (declared at Market Rasen on Friday).

Arrives here at the top of his game, completing a quick-fire course hat-trick in ultimately decisive fashion in 7-runner event here (3m, good) last week. Now 16 lb higher than for first of those wins and another bold bid anticipated for the 4-timer returned to 2½m.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosHexham3m 41yGoodChase1/7Hexham2m 4f 15yGoodChase1/9Hexham2m 4f 15yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/6Hexham3m 41yGoodChasepu/13Newcastle2m 4f 19yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase6/10- 4Laffer CurveJ: Harry SkeltonE: Dan Skelton54334-2Âge 52/17/415/8

Lightly-raced 5-y-o who showed promise over hurdles. Had a breathing operation and would have pushed the winner much closer but for getting 4 out all wrong on chasing debut at Worcester (2½m, good to soft) just over 2 weeks ago (jumped fine otherwise). Can build on that here.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosWorcester2m 4fGoodChase2/4Newton Abbot2m 5f 122yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle4/10Huntingdon2m 3f 137yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle3/8Sedgefield2m 3f 188yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle3/5Wetherby2m 3f 154ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle4/14- 6West LawnJ: Charlie MaggsE: James Walton32P-614Âge 1011/111/110/1

Finally off the mark over fences here last month and ran well on form from well out of the weights when fourth of 9 at this course (3m, good to soft) earlier this month, albeit making hard work of things. Just 2 lb out of the handicap this time but drop back in trip unlikely to suit.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosHexham3m 41yGoodChase4/9Hexham3m 41yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/6Hexham3m 41yGoodChase6/13Hexham3m 41ySoftChasepu/10Catterick Bridge3m 1f 54ySoft (Heavy in places)Chase2/4- 2Buddah CastleJ: Brian HughesE: Patrick Neville14P-Âge 614/114/112/1

Point winner who made a successful hurdle debut over 2½m at Sedgefield (despite his quirks) in December. Hasn't progressed in a couple of starts since and now attentions are turned to the larger obstacles and a 3-month break.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosSedgefield2m 178yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdlepu/5Newcastle2m 4f 62ySoft (Heavy in places)Hurdle4/8Sedgefield2m 3f 188ySoftHurdle1/4- 3MoodofthemomentJ: Ellis CollierE: David Thompson4P1P-64Âge 918/114/116/1

Hard to catch right and was again below form despite having a recent run under his belt when fourth of 5 at Kelso (2¾m, good) 4 weeks ago.

Maiden hurdle winner in Ireland who capitalised on a falling mark and the run of the race when opening his account over fences at Market Rasen last spring. Lost his way for Alistair Ralph but sound start for new yard when second at Market Rasen on Friday.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosMarket Rasen2m 5f 89yGoodChase2/6Chepstow2m 16yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase4/6Bangor-on-dee2m 4f 72ySoft (Heavy in places)Chase3/4Southwell1m 7f 182yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase3/7Perth2m 4f 20yGood to SoftChasepu/9
