TORNEO has a solid record in similar races and might be up to notching a second win of the campaign. Olly Murphy's Sao Carlos might be the one to give him most to do if taking to chasing at the first time of asking.

Workmanlike winner of 2m maiden hurdle at Wetherby (heavy) last season. Respectable efforts in defeat in 2m handicap hurdles this winter (third here latest) and should make a chaser.

Fair form in bumpers but has yet to better modest form over hurdles, finishing well held in Hereford handicap on last month's return from a long absence for a new yard. Can only watch now chasing.
