Handicappers' nap

Bellbird (2.30 Windsor)

Posted a career-best Racing Post Rating when chasing home subsequent winner Slugger at Carlisle last month and, with Charlie Maggs taking 7lb off, could prove well treated at the foot of the weights.

Eyecatcher

Hasthing (3.05 Windsor)

Richie McLernon's mount found things happening too quickly over 2m on his chasing debut and lacked fluency. He'll be happier back up in distance.

The Punt nap

Hasthing (3.05 Windsor)

Didn't always jump with fluency on his chasing debut but kept on nicely for fourth over an inadequate distance. He looks handicapped to go well on the pick of his hurdling form and will be suited by the longer trip.

West Country nap

Loverdose (3.40 Windsor)

Improving prospect who was narrowly denied a hat-trick at Chepstow last month. Should make another bold bid.

Speed figures

Helnwein (12.45 Windsor)

Looked to tie-up on run-in on his chase debut at Warwick last month but still clocked an encouraging speed figure akin to his best over hurdles and can improve.

Dark horse

Prairie Wolf (1.32 Carlisle)

Progressive novice chaser last season but has failed to fire in higher grades this term. The drop in trip and class today could spark a revival, having been eased by the handicapper.
