Verdict

The most solid option is DIXIE COWBOY, who has largely acquitted himself well since scoring on his C&D chase debut and he remains on a plausible mark. Beep Beep Becky's form over hurdles leaves much to be desired but the fact that she was runner-up on her sole start between the flags augurs well ahead of this switch to the larger obstacles. She is second choice ahead of the down-in-the-weights Clean Getaway.

3	Runner-up in an Irish point and while she failed to pull up any trees in a handful of runs over hurdles, this 5-y-o is worth a second look in the betting now switched to fences with a first-time tongue strap enlisted. 2nd Pick 3 Beep Beep Becky (Ire) Jockey: Toby Wynne Trainer: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero J: Toby Wynne T: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero	84	-	-	-	13%	Scratched

Returned to form when runner-up back here during the autumn and, entitled to come on for last month's C&D spin (first run for 3 months), he could have a part to play having slipped to a potentially handy mark. 3rd Pick 5 Clean Getaway (Ire) Jockey: Joe Williamson Trainer: Philip Kirby J: Joe Williamson T: Philip Kirby	85	-	-	-	17%
