Safe as houses (never fallen or unseated) and 2-3 C&D record includes this race last year (good to soft); obvious claims again following a fine return at Higham last month, but won't want a total dryout. |

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). |

12st 0lb |
Winner in May the past two years, including a weak Huntingdon hunter chase in 2024 (good to soft); recent return at Charm Park may therefore have been needed, though didn't show sufficient to interest here even so. |

29th May 2024 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Has some useful French/British form on his CV but struggled in Ireland last season; won three-runner hunter chase for latest new stable at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) last week but recorded a very slow time, and the value of that form is open to question. |

11st 12lb |
All out to land the odds in a three-runner Kingston Blount grassroots conditions event last month (3m, soft), breaking a near six-year losing run; limitations have been exposed in hunter chases either side of that, though has placed over this C&D once before. |

Fairly useful hurdler/chaser in his prime but has not shown enough in hunter chases this year to earn a place on the shortlist. |
