24th Apr 2024 Good 3m 2f 57y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Came clear to win a 3m1f soft-ground chase at Warwick in January (2lb lower; first-time cheekpieces) but it's all gone pear shaped in the meantime; perhaps another change of headgear will work the oracle but it's not hard to have doubts. |

Failed to complete last two races and her tendency to clout the occasional fence remains a worry but she looked good when winning in first-time cheekpieces at Warwick (3m1f, soft) in January and is probably still on a workable mark. |

High-mileage veteran who looked out of sorts on his final two appearances in 2024; too well handicapped to rule out but younger rivals appeal more; blinkers refitted. |

On a losing run and in difficulties in three of his last four starts, including behind School For Scandal over C&D in October and at Fakenham 16 days ago; has been wearing headgear but just a tongue-tie today; work cut out. |

Has stamina to prove today and is not one for maximum faith, having virtually refused to race three outings ago and looked reluctant to line up last time; however, he drew clear on the run-in to open his chasing account at Leicester (2m4f, soft) three weeks ago and today's 4lb higher mark ought to be manageable. |

10st 2lb |
Scored at Chepstow (3m2f) in October but he turned in a rare poor effort when pulled up in 3m5f Fakenham handicap chase in December; cheekpieces are reached for now and he's the sort to bounce back. |

Won three-runner point in April but struggled when back in a handicap chase three weeks ago, and this veteran needs to respond very positively to a change of headgear (usually wears cheekpieces). |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Point winner in April but his rules form is modest; although placed under Jess Stewart on both recent runs in hunter chases, he's been well held; needs to find plenty more back in handicap company. |

Verdict
Not many of these are easy to predict and NATTY NIGHT has had his moments, but he didn’t do a lot wrong when giving it a good go from the front at Hereford two weeks ago. The one who does score highly on consistency is Ballinoulart who has been running well against in-form oppositition. Head And Heart is best of the rest.[Alistair Jones]
