22nd Mar 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 86y Class 5 |
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. |

16th Feb 2024 Soft 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
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. |

11th Apr 2024 Heavy 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Only an 8yo but his rating has capitulated during the last two years and his recent form is nowhere near good enough for a test of this magnitude. |

19th Mar 2024 Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Grade 2 hurdle winner in 2020 and bits of form in better races than this in recent times; out of sorts in the autumn but he might well have pegged back Forest Chimes at Stratford (2m5f, heavy) last week with a better jump at the last; this stiffer test can suit; can go well. |

31st May 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 213y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Fairly useful hurdler/chaser in his prime but has not shown enough in hunter chases this year to earn a place on the shortlist. |

12st 6lb |
Only a 6yo and he won three of his seven chase starts when trained in France; all his form is on testing ground and his final runs in France were disappointing; could still turn a corner for Tim Vaughan. |
