11st 11lb |
Unseated/fell on her two outings at the end of last year and pulled up at Cheltenham recently; however, she was kicked before the start last time and was running pretty well when falling two out at Wetherby in December; won last season's Cheltenham Festival hunter chase and is 2-2 here; capable. |

13th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Got up close home to win the hunter chase at last season's Festival (3m2f, soft) and has also run well on good ground here; she's unseated/fallen on both starts this season but she was keeping on when departing two out at Wetherby (3m, good to soft) in December and today's stiffer test of stamina will be right up her street; could be a player granted a clear round. |

11st 10lb |
Three-time hunter chase winner; gave good account when fourth over hurdles at Stratford (2m6f, good) in March and has become well handicapped in this sphere but was soundly beaten here (2m7f, good) last month. |

Won 2m1f Stratford hunter chase last spring and ran well when fourth over hurdles there (2m6f, good) in March but was safely held in a handicap chase when back at Stratford this month and others in this field appeal more. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Lightly campaigned last season but won a hunter chase (2m1f, good) here last May; well held back in handicap company for new trainer in December but then showed more returned to hurdles back here in March; returns from another break and switches back to fences; not easily dismissed at a track he runs well at. |

7th May 2024 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
8-21 in points and although 0-20 under rules he has made the frame in his last four starts in hunter chases; likes to be ridden handily and a positive ride around here could make him a serious player in this small field; visor given a go. |

0-19 under rules but was very creditable third behind last month's Cheltenham Festival heroine Sine Nomine in John Corbet Cup here (3m3f, good) last June and came good for new stable with easy win in mixed open point at Higham (3m, good) last month. |

23rd Apr 2023 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Lightly raced under rules; had some useful staying chase form in early 2021 but he wasn't in the same form last spring and subsequent point runs cast some doubt as to what he's capable of these days. |

13th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Has had no trouble in transferring his useful hunter chase form to handicaps, last season winning at Kempton (3m, good) and runner-up there (2m4f, good to soft) in February; his Topham run can be forgiven and, while he might be better going right-handed, he could be tough to catch around here. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Useful hunter chaser last season and he's transferred that form to handicaps, winning at Kempton (3m, good) in December and runner-up there (2m4f, good to soft) in February; he may be better going right-handed but otherwise this front-runner could prove well suited by today's test. |

Won a C&D hunter chase last season from the front, as is his way; last two races have also been here over 3m, jumping better than his rivals the last time when 4lb lower; looks sure to go well for a long way back at 2m4f. |
