Carlisle
Impressive here last time and 6lb rise looks fair enough.
Graded performer over hurdles making his chase debut.
Decent form in stronger races than this in Ireland.
Has been running well in much hotter contests.
Went close on handicap debut at Ayr latest.
Is down the weights and has gone well fresh before.
Point to point winner who should run well on UK debut.
Leicester
Should be in a different league to these rivals.
Won well here last time and 4lb rise is fair.
Showed lots of promise when second on chase debut.
Had 22 lengths in hand when winning at Hereford.
Finished well to score at Cheltenham on return.
Capable of winning this very modest contest.
