Tomorrow, November 16, 2024ChaseClass 11m7f

An Arkle trial in name only, L'EAU DU SUD the sort of good-class handicap hurdler his stable almost routinely turn into even better chasers and he's strongly fancied to take the step up in class in his stride and make it 2-2 in this sphere. Lookaway showed his likeable attitude when making a winning return/chase debut at Uttoxeter recently, so he heads up the dangers with improvement on the cards, with Western Zephyr taken to edge out San Salvador for third.

    Verdict
    Strikes as sort of good-class handicap hurdler (runner-up in Betfair and County Hurdle last year) his stable routinely turn into even better chasers and pulverised his 4 rivals on chase debut at Stratford (19.4f, good to soft) just over a fortnight ago. The one to beat with better to come.

    Verdict
    Likeable sort who completed a hat-trick in course Grade 2 last October and several pretty useful efforts in defeat after at up to 20.5f. Made a return/chasing debut in a match event at Uttoxeter (16f, good to soft) earlier this month and seems sure to go on to better things in this sphere.

    Verdict
    Useful hurdler at best who didn't convince with his jumping sent chasing last season. Below his best over hurdles subsequently but gave cause for encouragement back over fences returning from 4 months off when runner-up at Aintree (15.8f) recently, finishing well. Really wants further than this.

    Verdict
    Winner of 3 of his half-a-dozen starts over hurdles and positive start in this sphere last season. Given a chance by the handicapper and finally got off the mark in this sphere on return following a wind op in 5-runner handicap at Carlisle (15.9f) last month. Must build on that now.

    Verdict
    Dual winning hurdler who is getting his act together over fences, supplementing his Listowel novice success in September with a Grade 3 victory at Roscommon just a week later. Best not judged on his latest effort over C&D (good) recently but needs to improve again.

    Verdict
    Failed to get his head in front over hurdles but handicap chases have been the making of him, scoring at Hexham and Bangor this summer. Took his record to 3-4 after a break with a big step forward in form terms at Kelso last month, but this is a different kettle of fish altogether.

    Verdict
    Fairly useful Flat winner who is lightly raced over jumps and clearly learnt plenty from his initial experience over fences when winning 5-runner handicap at Sedgefield last month. Seemed to excel himself when third in C&D novice just over 3 weeks ago (bled) but has a mountain to climb here.

    Verdict
    Picked up for £160,000 after winning a couple of Irish points early last year. Pitched into a strong race for his Rules debut when last of 5 in a 2½m Warwick novice chase 12 months ago and now asked an even bigger question returning in a tongue tie. May improve but huge outsider in this.
