It seems significant that Tony Martin comes here with this one.

A game winner of a Listed hurdle at Wetherby two starts ago, he was third in a Grade 2 hurdle at Cheltenham subsequently and should have too much class for these rivals.

Re: Short Priced Favs Joker Choker 1.30 Leic 9 Pt Win JOKER CHOKER has lost his way over hurdles recently but he has been running in quality company. He has won three times over timber, however, and this looks a gentle enough introduction to the chasing game to suggest he can make his debut over fences a winning one.

Re: Short Priced Favs Alasi 1.00 Hunt 9 Pt Win @ 1.4 (BOG) It's difficult to look past ALASI on her chasing bow. She was some way clear of these on official ratings over timber and looked better than ever when landing a Listed contest in that sphere at Wetherby last time.

Re: Short Priced Favs Sprinter Sacre 12.25 Donc 9 Pt win @ 1.22 (BOG) SPRINTER SACRE travelled eye-catchingly in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival in March and while he only managed third when push come to shove, the Nicky Henderson charge exceeded all expectations. Al Ferof, winner of that race, has since scored on his chasing debut and the son of Network should win here providing he takes to the larger obstacles.

It is a slight worry that Lucy Wadham's representative hasn't been seen on the racecourse for 605 days but the 141-rated also has some excellent chase form to his name from 2009, most notably when second to subsequent King George runner-up Riverside Theatre.

After success over C&D at the end of last month, he was hugely impressive when scoring at Fontwell last week and a 7lb penalty not doesn't look like halting his profitable campaign this afternoon.

He is 10lb clear of his nearest rival (Pasco) on official ratings and Paul Webber's charge should be able to dominate in this small field. Welcome aboard Maltstar........ one piece of advice, this is the second longest run without a profit I have had in two years. This run was started by Long Run so I hope its not a sign of things to come.

Re: Short Priced Favs Araucaria 14.20 Exeter 11pt Win @ 1.57 (BOG) ARAUCARIA appears to have been found the perfect race by new trainer, Donald McCain, to get her chasing career underway. High-class in bumpers and over hurdles in Ireland, she certainly has the scope to jump a fence and may not need to be at her best to score here.

Despite what looks a harsh 7lb rise in the ratings for a short-head defeat at Worcester last time, she can land this prize after being freshened up by a break.

This top-class performer showed that all is well when making a winning return to action in the Grade 2 Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury three weeks ago, beating three of today's opposition in the process, and with Paul Nicholls reportedly leaving plenty to work on prior to that race, this superstar gelding is likely to have improved since and should have no problems dispatching these.

A useful novice hurdler last term, he opened his chase account at the first attempt last month and the third has won since. He should come on for that experience and this doesn't look any tougher.

Nick Williams' charge steps up in trip but is taken to defy a penalty.

Re: Short Priced Favs Swincombe Flame NR For today Kazlian 12.40 Ffos Las 15Pt Win No EMP It is very tough to oppose KAZLIAN in this juvenile hurdle and, while he failed to score at odds of 1-2 on his British debut at Market Rasen, David Pipe's charge will have learned a lot from that outing and improvement should be forthcoming.

The Donald McCain representative boasts some eye-catching novice form over timber, most notably when second behind the subsequent Listed hurdler winner Whoops A Daisy at Hereford in January, and with winning C&D form in the book, he may take some stopping.

This is his toughest task to date but, with further improvement on the cards, he should take all the beating here.

His galloping style should be well suited to this track and he can score before making his way to the Cheltenham Festival.

Re: Short Priced Favs The Black Baron 14.40 Folk 18 Pt Win @ 2.2 (BOG) THE BLACK BARON boasts some useful form over hurdles, most notably when finishing two lengths behind You're The Top at Kempton, and likely to know his task first time over the larger obstacles, he should have the beating of these.
