12st 6lb |
Lightly raced since beating top-notcher Clan Des Obeaux in the Grade 2 Denman here just over three years ago (on good to soft); nothing like as good now but remains prolific in hunter chases and soft ground was against him when a lucky winner at Fakenham last month (Tigerbythetail going best when departing); runs here having bypassed Cheltenham but he wouldn't want the forecast light rain to be anything heavier than that. |

Quality performer back in the day and still prolific in hunter chases, winning four last year including the Horse & Hound Cup at Stratford (3m3f, good) the final time when accounting for a talented Northern Irish raider; likes goodish ground but can handle soft; one to beat. |

High-class hunter when at his best but that hasn't been for some time; second in Punchestown Champion Hunter Chase in 2022 (to Billaway) and 2023 and also found Billaway too good in this race last year; finished upsides his old rival when well held at this year's Punchestown festival; better for that after four months off but hard to be bullish. |

Showed some useful handicap chase form for Sam Thomas last season and was clear second behind a fair horse in a recent Larkhill point (3m, good) but others in this line-up have more pressing claims. |

2m6f novice hurdle winner for this stable last summer prior to finishing a 21l second back over fences at Fontwell (3m2f, good) in September; needs to improve on a couple of modest efforts in points this year for Hannah Lewis now back under rules over fences and returned to his former stable; likely to prove vulnerable for the win to a less exposed type. |

Landed the John Corbet in 2019 (Pink Eyed Pedro third), and record in last four renewals of this contest reads 12P5 (all on good); all out to land a High Easter match for this year's sole success so far, and 15l to find with Jeffery's Cross on their Cheltenham clash. |

Unsuited by soft ground when pulled-up favourite in this race one year ago but won it by 16l on good ground in 2023 and has mostly been in good form in points this year; not getting any younger but commands respect. |

Added to his good tally in points with two wins this spring; close third to Shanroe Street at Perth, albeit beaten favourite, on the return to rules and now gets a 5lb pull with that rival; comfortably won this contest (on fast ground) 12 months ago and warrants respect back here. |

No match for Highway Jewel when they met in a point just over a year ago; only defeats this year have come at the hands of two very able hunter chasers (Envious Editor/Shantou Flyer) and she looks the main threat to the favourite. |
