The Flying Poet
Preference is for THE FLYING POET who made a successful chasing debut here in May, before bumping into a well-treated type at Worcester on his latest outing. With more still to offer over fences, he gets the vote ahead of the hat-trick seeking Get A Superstar, while Thehairyfella could be in the mix in a change of headgear.

Hurdles winner here in the autumn and followed up on seasonal/chase debut over C&D in May, getting the better of Defying Gravity. Mixed round of jumping when second at Worcester last time, but could yet do better as he gains with experience (has had breathing operation) and switched to blinkers.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWorcester2m 7fGoodChase2/11Perth2m 7f 180yGood to SoftChase1/8Perth2m 7f 207yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle1/7Worcester2m 7fGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle2/6Worcester2m 7fGood (Good to Firm in places)Hurdle2/11- 3Get A SuperstarJ: Charlie HammondT: Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole35/7-11Age 89/29/24/1

After 7 months off, took advantage of career-low mark when gaining a first chase success in 4-runner handicap at Market Rasen (21f) in May. Followed up over 19f at the same course 20 days ago and, though probably suited by omitted fences last time, he commands respect.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosMarket Rasen2m 3f 34yGoodChase1/6Market Rasen2m 5f 89yGoodChase1/4Sedgefield2m 5f 28yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase7/11Catterick Bridge2m 3f 51yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase5/10Catterick Bridge2m 3f 51yGoodChase3/8- 6Defying GravityJ: Conor RabbittT: Andrew Hamilton053-2U8Age 66/16/111/2

Placed over both sets of obstacles here during the spring, making a bad mistake at the last when second to The Flying Poet on chasing debut. However, he's played up in the preliminaries both outings since, reluctant to race back over hurdles at Cartmel last time.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCartmel3m 1f 83yGoodHurdle8/10Kelso2m 7f 96yGoodChaseur/5Perth2m 7f 180yGood to SoftChase2/8Perth2m 47yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle3/14Newcastle2m 190yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle5/13- 4ThehairyfellaJ: Danny McMenaminT: Gordon Elliott, Ireland4P62-40Age 117/16/113/2

Not straightforward and benefited from a good ride when finally getting off the mark in a 3m Downpatrick handicap last summer. Yet to fire in 2 starts this season, down the field over the same C&D 19 days ago, but he's capable if on a going day now tried in blinkers.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosDownpatrick2m 7f 150yGoodChase10/12Cartmel3m 1f 107yGoodChase4/9Perth2m 7f 180ySoftChase2/7Perth2m 7f 180yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase6/8Kilbeggan3m 1f 180yGood to YieldingChasepu/13- 5Burgundy ManJ: Nathan MoscropT: R.

Made a successful chasing debut over C&D on testing ground in October. Has gone the wrong way since, though, including back over hurdles here 25 days ago.

Dual winner over hurdles who was a disappointing favourite on chasing debut at Southwell in November. Has fared better in 2 starts this season, third of 10 in novice handicap at Uttoxeter on latest outing.

Went close to a breakthrough victory in novice handicap at Kelso in October but has lost his way in 4 subsequent outings. Now 4 lb lower than for his Kelso effort, though has enough to prove at present.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHexham2m 4f 15yGoodChase7/9Perth2m 7f 180yGood to SoftChase5/6Newcastle2m 7f 91yGood to SoftChasepu/8Newcastle2m 7f 91yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chasepu/4Kelso2m 7f 96yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase2/8
