GOOD FRIDAY FAIRY was back to his very best when an easy all-the-way winner at Wincanton last week and can defy an 8 lb rise. Gris Majeur went close at Ffos Las last time so looks the obvious threat.

Made a promising start over fences when runner-up at Sandown on return but has gone backwards next 2 starts. Something to prove now.

Verdict
Fair handicap hurdler/chaser who's posted some good placed efforts this season but needs to shrug off a poor run at Southwell 3 weeks ago.

Verdict
Won 3 claiming chases in France but low-key start for this yard at Taunton (over hurdles) 3 weeks ago. Potentially well treated back over fences on French form but difficult to assess on the back of that uninspiring British debut.

Low-key start to this season but back to very best fitted with this headgear when wide-margin winner at Wincanton last week. 8 lb rise looks fair so big shout with a repeat.
