Timeform Daily: Tuesday, Leicester 15:00

Tuesday's Timeform Daily comes from Leicester

Timeform examine each runner in an interesting handicap chase at Leicester...

Noble Witness was eased in weights prior to regaining winning thread at Catterick (25f) in December, but well held off revised mark since, and this no easier.

Nom de Guerre has only been seen three times since opening chasing account at Wincanton (25f) in April 2010, proving he retains ability when second over C&D last time, and can't rule out.

Not So Sure Dick bumped into Hunt Ball on a couple of occasions last year but offered little on belated return recently.

Power Pack Jack was a three-time winner over fences in 2010/11, but overall profile decidedly inconsistent, plenty more lows than highs. Others more solid.

Franklin Roosevelt was blinkered (back on) when winning handicap hurdle last spring for Warren Greatrex. Off the mark over fences with easy win at Southwell last week and sure to go well again under a penalty.

Basil Fawlty's chances over hurdles often ruined by refusal to settle, though not given hard time both starts over fences. Looks stable number 2, though.

Lemon's Gent landed a gamble sole start in bumpers at Ludlow in May 2011, but no better than modest form in 4 tries over hurdles. Showed more in cheekpieces on second start over fences but more required.

Abbey Dore gained fourth win over fences in the mud at Fontwell (3m) in January 2011. Good second off a higher mark when in April that year, but well held on belated reurn recently.

Thorncliffer was tongue tied when opening chasing account at Wetherby (25f) in December under this rider. Failed to complete next 2 starts but still early days with him.

Timeform 1-2-3:
1. Franklin Roosevelt
2. Nom de Guerre
3. Thorncliffer

Timeform View: Franklin Roosevelt was an impressive winner last week and a penalty may not be enough to prevent a follow up. Nom de Guerre and Thorncliffer can make a place.
