Progressive unexposed chaser HASTHING (6) looks tailor-made for this. The JP McManus trained eight-year-old did well to overcome being hampered and making a mistake when winning a lesser handicap chase at Windsor last month. Rise in weights might underestimate his ability and he can complete a hat-trick. VICTTORINO (2) took his record to three from four over course and distance winning a valuable handicap chase in December and must enter calculations off a 3lb higher rating. TERRESITA (3) needs to prove she stays this far. Cannot be ignored following an impressive handicap victory over 2m5f here four weeks ago. SNIPE (11) and WISEGUY (9) are others to note.
