Dual hunter chase winner but tends to struggle on the bigger stage; remote third on sole visit here (2023) and pulled up in 2025 Aintree Foxhunters'.

Lightly raced 11yo who resumed his progress in similar event at Wincanton (3m1f, heavy) on seasonal debut, taking chase record to 2-5; successful on this card last year (2m4f, heavy) and warrants respect.

Dual slow-ground Irish point winner in 2023 and won a Revesby Park intermediate (3m, good) on last month's British point debut; found one too good when odds-on for latest point but still features prominently in calculations on this rules debut.

Southern raider with 4-10 strike-rate in points; reportedly not suited by heavy ground when beaten odds-on favourite on rules debut in February but still ran pretty well; confirmed his wellbeing when making all for wide-margin success in good-ground Dingley point last month and looks the one to beat.

Form & Verdict
Rallied well to win Friars Haugh restricted (3m, good to soft) last month and is now 2-9 in points; unable to justify prominence in the betting when last of seven on recent hunter chase debut at Bangor (3m, soft) but was not disgraced there and this race is easier; contender if aided by first-time cheekpieces.

The ground was slow when struggling in his two previous hunter chases; clocked a similar time to Crawter when winning on the same card at Bitterley a month ago; only a 6yo and hard to dismiss.
