Bangor-On-Dee 16:10 Odds Comparison

Made a successful handicap hurdle debut at Wetherby (21f, good to soft) in October. Better form when placed on next 2 outings and might have needed a recent outing back at Wetherby after 3 months off. Respected chase newcomer.

Point/hurdle winner who walked over on return/chase debut at Sandown in November. Best run in handicaps since when fourth of 7 in 2½m Uttoxeter novice handicap in first-time cheekpieces (retained) 3 weeks ago. Player if he can build on that.

Winless since March 2024 but has a reduced mark to work with and caught the eye when running on for third at Hexham (2½m, heavy) 24 days ago. Player if showing up in similar form.

Won in the mud at Uttoxeter (2½m) in January. Respectable sixth of 10 in a Go North series final at Kelso (21.5f) last time. Was a bit laboured on that occasion but possible a change of headgear (first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces) could sharpen him up.

Useful chaser at his best who took advantage of a slipping mark at Uttoxeter last July. Ran with credit in 3 subsequent starts in the autumn. Claims if ready to roll after 6 months off.

Completed a hat-trick over hurdles at Worcester in October and successful first 2 starts over fences late last year. However, hasn't been in the same form in a couple of chase starts at Kempton since returning from a short break. Needs to bounce back to his best.

In fine form for Dan Skelton last spring, winning 2m handicap chases at Chepstow and Worcester. Positive start for this yard when going close at Uttoxeter (2½m) in December but pulled up on next 2 starts and latest C&D fourth was no major step back in the right direction.

Bagged 3 chase wins for Dan Skelton this time last year but hasn't offered much for new yard thus far, including tailed off over C&D just 18 days ago.
