Verdict

A competitive handicap but there was plenty to like about the chasing debut of KAHAVARI here until he unseated three out and he is taken to bounce back in style. A Moments Madness rates a big threat starting out for Fergal O'Brien here, while Passing Kate and Jour D'evasion can both have a say too.

4	Signed off last term with a breakthrough win in 7-runner handicap chase at Ffos Las (19.4f, soft) in April for Warren Greatrex. Changed hands for £82,000 subsequently and not taken lightly for his new yard. 2nd Pick 4 A Moments Madness (Ire) Jockey: Mr Albi Tufnell Trainer: Fergal O'brien J: Mr Albi Tufnell T: Fergal O'brien	98	-	-	-	23%	Scratched

7	A three-time winner (at up to 2m3f) last term who resumed from 9 months off with a very good second of 5 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (16f, heavy) 14 days ago. Up 2 lb but she's very much one to consider. 3rd Pick 7 Passing Kate Jockey: Lee Edwards Trainer: Matt Sheppard J: Lee Edwards T: Matt Sheppard	99	-	-	-	15%
