Groovy Blue
Ben Pauling's GROOVY BLUE made a promising start in this sphere when third at Sedgefield and with the first two having gone in since he gets a confident vote to add to his earlier bumper/hurdling victories. The returning Charles Ritz could emerge as the main threat given his good record when fresh, while Tedwin Hills and Kayce Dutton need factoring in too.

A fair bumper/hurdles winner who is very much a chaser on looks and shaped well when third of 7 in handicap at Sedgefield (19.3f, good to soft) on his debut over fences 38 days ago. That form has been franked so he's a player with more to offer here.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSedgefield2m 3f 65yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase3/7Worcester2m 4fGoodHurdle5/14Market Rasen2m 4f 139yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle1/8Ascot2m 3f 58yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle3/4Doncaster2m 3f 88yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdlepu/5- 1Charles RitzJ: Jonathan BurkeT: Tom George636/P2-Age 94/14/19/2

Fairly useful winning hurdler/chaser who got right back on track when second in 2m4f handicap chase at Warwick 13 months ago. Has won off a break so must enter calculations despite his long absence.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWarwick2m 4fGoodChase2/8Ffos Las3m 3f 208yGood (Good to Soft In Places)Chasepu/11Perth2m 7f 180ySoftChase6/10Newbury2m 7f 86yHeavy (Soft in places)Chase3/4Cheltenham2m 4f 127yGood to SoftChase6/12- 3Heard ThatJ: Sean BowenT: Olly Murphy512R1-PAge 64/14/19/2

A three-time chase scorer (at up to 3m) last season but he was pulled up in handicap chase at Bangor (20.3f, heavy) on his return last month.

Front runner who returned better than ever when scoring at Stratford and Warwick this autumn. Not at all discredited when fourth of 7 in 2m4f handicap at Newcastle 30 days ago so needs considering.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewcastle2m 4f 19yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase4/7Warwick2m 4fGoodChase1/7Stratford-on-avon2m 6f 125yGood (Good to Firm in places)Chase1/7Fontwell Park2m 3f 104yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chaseur/10Ffos Las2m 3f 83yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chasepu/10- 7Kayce DuttonJ: Robert DunneT: Charles & Adam Pogson225-15UAge 78/18/19/1

Got off the mark in this sphere at Market Rasen (2m5f) in May and badly hampered when unseated rider 11th over C&D 12 days ago.

A fairly useful 2m hurdles winner at his best but he had wind surgery before coming in only ninth of 11 in handicap at Bangor (20.3f, good to soft) on his debut over fences 48 days ago.

Unreliable type who turned in one of his lesser efforts when fifth of 6 in handicap chase over C&D 30 days ago. Tongue strap back on but others appeal more.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSouthwell2m 4f 88ySoftChase5/6Bangor-on-dee2m 4f 72yGoodChaseF/11Hexham2m 4f 28yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdlepu/11Bangor-on-dee2m 4f 72yGoodChase1/5Wincanton1m 7f 149ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chasepu/6
