Made too much use of and was held by less exposed rivals when comfortably beaten in a handicap chase at Newbury last time. Trainer is in form and he returns after a short break. Effective around 2 1/2m and suited by decent ground, though his mark looks high enough.

Winner of three hurdle races and two chases from 2m to 2m 4f on ground varying from good to soft. Finished 13l behind Knight Of Allen when sixth of 9 at 18-1 on his latest outing in a chase at Newbury over 2m 4f (good to soft) in December last year.

At The Races Verdict

KNAPPERS HILL hasn't been able to get a fair crack at chasing, but he showed enough in the Rowland Meyrick to suggest he retains plenty of ability. Paul Nicholls' charge enters the veteran ranks for the first time and could prove too strong, though Le Milos offers a real threat having finished second at Sandown last month. Guard Your Dreams is also noted.

Expert View Verdict

The recent rain is a concern for the class angle in the race KNAPPERS HILL but he did run well for a long way on soft ground until his stamina gave way in the Rowland Meyrick last time so he should cope with it here. A former Grade 2 winner over hurdles and fences he has proven he retains his ability after a lay off so can defy a generous mark dropped back to his optimum distance. Plenty of his opponents can be given a chance but is Fugitif who is feared most given he's proven with cut in the ground. The former December Gold Cup winner went far too fast last time but did run well to a point and he should be able to take a lead off the bottom weight here. Last year's winner Le Milos also has to be respected having dropped back to his last winning mark with conditions likely to bring his stamina into play.
