Chase The Wind's form figures look good but he's been running in very small fields. Souriyan began well over fences in the autumn with two good runs but not much has gone right for him subsequently and he's a bit better than he's been showing. URBAN HYMN won the Grade 2 River Don Hurdle on Town Moor in 2014 before embarking on a chasing career which didn't go to plan, nor did his reappearance after a very long break when he fell at the first over hurdles at Aintree. This looks an ideal opportunity to get back on track. Atlantic Gold has won a point-to-point and three hurdles. He's run in some tough races and there's no reason he shouldn't take to the bigger obstacles. Fort Worth has a similar profile and the ground should be ideal so he can go well on his chasing debut in an interesting little contest.
