12st 0lb |
Easy winner of this race in 2024 (soft) and the Stratford champion event (good) straight after, and nearest miss since when held by a neck at Brocklesby in February; there's always the chance he'll thrown in a mistake, but case is still good on this easiest-looking hunter chase assignment for some time. |

Winner at this track in 2024 and he then beat Lift Me Up in Stratford's Horse & Hound Cup; however, he never counted in this 12 months ago and returns a year older and in no better form. |

Won hunter chases in summer of 2024, including on soft ground at Cheltenham (3m1f); lightly raced in the meantime but didn't run too badly after an absence at Larkhill. |

Jumping failed the test when he was tailed off in this last year, going off at 33-1, and his credentials are no more compelling this time around. |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 54y Class 3 |
12st 1lb |
Runner-up in Champion Hunters' Chase at Stratford (3m3f, good) in spring 2024 and won under rules at Warwick (3m, good to soft) in January last year; made satisfactory reappearance in open point last month and handles soft ground (unraced on heavy); no surprise if he features. |

14th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Low-mileage 9yo; beat a talented hunter chaser when wearing the new cheekpieces at Warwick (3m, good to soft) last time; has appreciably more on his plate now and was a long way behind Fairly Famous here last May; the latter was not at his best when those placings were reversed at Stratford later in the month (both behind What A Glance); a minor role looks on the cards. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Strong form when winning hunter chases at Cheltenham in May 2023 and May 2024; in good heart in point-to-points this season but last May's hunter chase form suggests he may be found wanting. |

2nd 2 |
30th May 2025 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Useful hunter chaser who has two Cheltenham wins on his CV and was placed in the Champion Hunters' Chase on this card in 2024; not at best this year, though, and managed only third of six when warm favourite at Cheltenham in first-time cheekpieces four weeks ago. |

Dual scorer in this sphere granted a sharp 3m and good ground in 2024; outclassed in the big one at Cheltenham this raceday last year and disappointing season either side of that (34l fourth over this C&D); absent since May, but record fresh is generally fair. |

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. |

12st 0lb |
A three-time hunter chase winner for Willie Mullins but it was a forgettable first run back with that yard when tailed off at Gowran a month ago; cheekpieces are now added and returning here might float his boat as he was third in both the 2022 Topham and this race 12 months ago. |

12st 0lb |
Three-time hunter chase winner, most notably at 2023 Cheltenham Festival (3m2f, soft); pulled up at this year's Cheltenham Festival but got back on track with good effort in defeat behind Fairly Famous there (3m2f, soft) this month and is 3lb better off with him here. |

Never threatened to make a successful defence of his Festival crown here in March but there was no fluke about his 66-1 success 12 months earlier which he followed up with a comfortable win in this race (on good ground); if anywhere approaching his best he'll be tough to beat. |

Teenager who has gone over two years since his latest win and has been out of form this season (three runs); revival needed. |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Won this race in 2024 (soft ground) but never really got going last season and was very disappointing favourite in a point last month, after a layoff; now a teenager and needs to prove he still has what it takes. |
