Verdict
A very useful handicap but it's hard to side against Joe Tizzard's U CANT BE SERIOUS who made light of a 9-month absence when an impressive scorer on his chasing bow over C&D and looks the sort to go on improving for a while yet. Donnacha arrives at the top of his game and should ensure the selection doesn't have things all his own way, while Royal Jewel and Harper's Brook can't be discounted either.

VerdictFairly useful winning hurdler who created an excellent impression on his fencing bow when landing 9-runner handicap over C&D (good to soft) 18 days ago. Up 5 lb but this scopey type is very much one to keep on the right side. - 2. Royal JewelJ: Callum PritchardT: Philip Hobbs & Johnson WhiteF: 533123-12

VerdictScored at Wetherby last December but he's an unreliable type and signed off last term with a tailed-off last of 7 in Celebration Chase at Sandown (15.4f, good to firm) in April. Yard going really well so could bounce back though.- Unnamed Favourite
