SP forecast 9-4

On the face of it, Michael Winters has found a good opportunity for an experienced horse who is eligible for this modest beginners chase on the basis of his 109 hurdles rating, the maximum permissible. He is rated 6lb higher over fences and was third in a recent handicap chase at the same venue, though soundly beaten.

Conclusion As an 11-year-old having his ninth run over fences he looks vulnerable to a younger or less exposed rival. There could be several dangers lurking.
