Useful hunter chase form was a long time ago, and he was unable to win any of his last six points; very opposable returned to hurdles, especially at this trip. |

Placed in the 2022 and 2023 renewals of this race and ran well on occasions in handicaps last year for Gary Hanmer; has changed trainers again but clearly won't be fazed by the demands of this assignment. |

11st 7lb |
Has won a hunter chase and was winning her sixth point in December; heavy ground has looked an issue in the past and it was under those conditions when she was beaten at odds-on in her latest point; had wind surgery since. |

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. |

Ran well in only one of six hurdling starts for Dan Skelton last season and, having rejoined Sam Loxton, was pulled up in a hunter chase in February; last of three finishers in 4m point last month; revival needed. |

Easy 3m2f hunter chase win at Newton Abbot last May came against one other rival; not in much form earlier in 2023 before pulled up at the Cheltenham Festival (200-1; hampered); has work to do here as well. |

Competitive in hunter chases at Newton Abbot last May but those were meek races and he's performed moderately in two runs following a break; outclassed in this company. |

Good chaser at up to 3m1f for Paul Nicholls and he ran a respectable third in a recent point won by smart hunter chaser Cousin Pascal; should make his presence felt. |

Seeing out trips better since returned to points, in March almost adding a 3m6f High Easter conditions event to an earlier 3m Horseheath success (soft); 9l to find with Pym on their last-time clash, however. |

11th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Smart hurdler/chaser in Ireland and he ran okay in last season's cross-country race at the Cheltenham Festival; it's been a poor 12 months otherwise and pulling up in a recent hunter chase makes him very opposable back over hurdles. |

16th Feb 2023 Good 3m 0f 37y Class 3 |

Very smart at about 3m in his day but lost his way for Noel Meade, and after changing hands for £48,000 in September he didn't run much of a race on his debut for this yard in a hunter chase at Taunton; reservations on the back of that. |
