DAVID'S WELL failed to meet expectations on his handicap bow when last seen but he was progressive over hurdles prior to that and makes his chase debut in a weak event. Samazul is the obvious threat despite his weak finish at Fontwell last month.

Verdict
Bumper winner who failed to score over hurdles but has the build for chasing and duly improved when opening account on return/debut over fences at Fontwell. Shaped much better than bare result there 4 weeks ago but folded in alarming fashion after turning for home looking the winner. Down in trip.

Verdict
Improved again when landing the odds in maiden hurdle at Plumpton (2m, soft) in February. Disappointed on handicap bow at Newbury final start but makes chasing debut/return in a weak-looking race (placed completed start in Irish points).
