Fair handicapper who drew nicely clear to make winning hunter chase debut at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) nine days ago; could quite plausibly have untapped potential over marathon trips; high on the list. |

Ran well on sole visit here; made a respectable return to action in December after 581 days off but pulled up next time and fair fourth at Southwell early last month would surely not be good enough. |

Unseated here in February on hunter chase debut and soundly beaten at Southwell four weeks later; plenty to prove after that, even though he was second of 18 in a Cheltenham handicap (3m1f, good) in October; ridden last four starts by Archie Jones. |

11st 12lb |
Career highlight when winning the Becher Chase at Aintree (3m2f, good to soft) in December 2022; pulled up four times in a row in good handicaps before tailing off last March on final outing for Dan Skelton; wore cheekpieces last two starts and has them today; hard to beat on his old form and the betting moves should give clues about what remains. |

Now 3lb lower than when winning the Becher Chase at Aintree in late 2022 but he's pulled up in his last four starts and the new cheekpieces had no real effect last time at Doncaster (travelled well but dropped out); stable form offers some hope for him turning things around but too risky. |

It's possible to forgive his last two races, as 2m at Leicester was too short and Aintree was always going to be a stiff task; a return to career-best form last April-June when winning two hunter chases and a handicap (2m4f-2m6f) would make this look manageable. |

Can be forgiven his latest run behind Joker De Mai as 2m was too short, and at about this trip he won two hunter chases and a handicap last year; he's still well down the pecking order in a race this competitive. |

Won small-field hunter chases on good ground at Catterick (3m1f) and Ludlow (2m4f) last month; lost out to only the odds-on favourite at Kempton (2m4f, good) three weeks ago and, although the scale of his defeat was a bit worrying, his good record here (won the last three of his four visits) bolsters his chance today. |

23rd Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Dual point winner who took a 3m Southwell hunter chase last March to kick off a solid sequence, including second at Taunton this February; no show on latest start, not surprisingly given it was at Cheltenham (66-1) but others have the edge on form in this line-up. |

Dual point winner who was a near 12l third to What A Glance at the hunter chase meeting here last May (3m1f, soft) and returned from a break to keep Shearer honest at Taunton (2m7f, good to soft) despite a bad mid-race mistake; could run well but is unlikely to be good enough at the age of 11. |
