Ionity has not been seen on a racecourse for over a year but looks worth taking a chance on. In total, he has raced seven times over hurdles. His last four runs saw him finish first once, second once, and third twice. He races off a mark four pounds higher than his last winning mark. Those four races were on soft and good-to-soft ground, with his sole success coming on good-to-soft. He appears to go well when fresh, so looks worth following for a place finish.

Ace of Spades was not disgraced when finishing runner-up behind Ma Shantou at Cheltenham on New Year's Day. He has gone up four pounds since that race. The Skeltons are in good form, and this could be another winner for them.
