A progressive novice chaser last season, The Doyen Chief has come back with a couple of efforts this term that suggest to me he's far from handicapped out of things from a mark in the high 130s.

On his comeback at Bangor, he was the only horse to push the rapidly-improving Deep Cave (winner again since), pulling well clear of the rest. Then from slightly out of the handicap at Cheltenham last time, he shaped really well in a strong race, travelling and jumping with loads of zest, but ultimately finding the longer trip and uphill finish too much. 

He's a course and distance winner already and will definitely benefit from this drop back in distance. He's generally 11-4 at the time of writing (10-3 in places) and I rate him a strong bet at above 2-1. He's my nap of the day.

It has been a while since this now eight-year-old won, but he has the look of a handicap good thing here.

Jim Goldie’s gelding has been dropping down the weights for a while, but the handicapper seems to have been generous in dropping him 3lb for what was in fact a pretty good effort last time out.

He finished fifth, beaten less than four lengths in a 0-70 handicap at this track and will be suited by this step back up in trip. He now finds himself on a mark 9lb lower than his latest win, which also came over this course and distance.

The jockey booking of Eirann Cagney, probably the best amateur around currently, takes the eye in a big way and it seems the stars are aligned for an overdue win.
