Won't mind rain as the ground was heavy when winning over 2m5f here in March, since when he's comfortably won a good-ground point over 2m4f; stays 3m but the extra 3f today will be unknown territory; fair chance should he get home. |

31st May 2024 Good To Soft 3m 3f 119y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Improving 6yo; second in what's always a good hunter chase at Haydock before going on to win his next three, bringing up the hat-trick at Cheltenham (3m2f, soft) despite jumping right late on; won that despite not being at his best and hard to beat here. |

3rd May 2024 Good 3m 2f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Creditable second in good-quality Haydock hunter chase (2m6f, heavy) on rules debut in February and a dual 2m4f winner since (heavy/soft); forced to work very hard to justify short odds at Ludlow last month but the front two pulled a long way clear; sets very good standard of rules form and will be hard to beat if today's trip-and-ground combination suits. |

2nd May 2025 Good 4m 0f 97y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Struggled in last month's Aintree Foxhunters' but his sights are lowered here and he's largely consistent in points/hunter chases; suited by a marathon trip on good ground; might be the answer. |

Likeably consistent but it was his fifth defeat in hunter chases when beaten in a small field at Fakenham 20 days ago (first-time visor). |

3rd Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Odds-on when beating Bardenstown Lad and Bothwell Bridge in successive points through the winter but he was only fifth of seven back in a hunter chase last month; this demands a career best by some margin; blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

Multiple point winner, including last two outings; ran well in the first of two attempts in hunter chases; one to consider. |

The balance of form under rules and in points doesn't look good enough to win this and his latest third was very remote. |

31st May 2024 Good To Soft 3m 3f 119y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Dual Irish point winner; rallying second in a 3m maiden hunter chase at Cork two months ago (soft; this first-time headgear combination) but likely to need more if she's to beat the best of these. |
