EXTREME IMPACT was just about the best of these over hurdles and can make a winning start to his chase career. Evan Williams' five-year-old is very lightly-raced and far from disgraced in a hot handicap at Haydock on his latest start. Ambrose Princess has been well beaten on both starts since returning from a lay-off while Nicene Creed became disappointing over timber, though did finish ahead of Michael Scudamore's mare at Aintree earlier this month. Points winner Snake Rave has been placed in five of his seven starts over fences but lacks the scope of some of his rivals.
