A prolific winner over hurdles, BARIZAN landed the odds in fine style on his chasing debut at Fontwell. He ran out an easy winner on that occasion and will start a very short-price to follow-up against today' rivals. Farleigh House has won over timber and made a promising debut over the larger obstacles at Stratford. He still has stacks to find with the favourite however, while Youandme has yet to show any worthwhile form and is easily dismissed.
