Oceana Gold made a winning start to life in handicap chases at Worcester in July. Solid effort when third at Newton Abbot next time, and latest run easily forgiven as he lost his action. Sharp two miles suits him well.

Trooper Clarence progressed quickly through the handicap ranks over fences in the spring, winning four times. Jumping has let him down last two outings, and must cut out the errors to get back on track.

Health is Wealth enjoyed a productive spell in handicap chases at Plumpton in the spring, winning three on the trot. Will find this easier than novice he contested at Cheltenham on Saturday, but can finish weakly.

Callisto Moon is a prominent racer who has won novice handicaps at Bangor and Newton Abbot this season. Still in front when crashing out at Kempton on Sunday, and capable of a big run if none the worse for that.

McCauley won a two mile Towcester hunter chase on good to firm in April, and set to make winning start for new yard when unseating in handicap at Bangor last month. Leading chance with cheekpieces back on.

Timeform 1-2-3:
1. McCauley
2. Callisto Moon
3. Oceana Gold

Timeform View: McCauley was about to make a winning start for his new yard when unseating at Bangor, and compensation awaits here now under professional handling. Callisto Moon may not have held on at Kempton on Sunday, but he was still in front when capsizing 2 out and will prove a threat if none the worse for his spill.
