28th May 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Thorough stayer; seemingly on the downgrade now but ran well for a long way when eighth in last month's Aintree Foxhunters' and probably found the good ground too lively when below that form at Cheltenham (2m4f; first-time cheekpieces) four weeks ago; can make his presence felt here. |

12st 4lb |
Useful handicapper who returned from long absence to make winning hunter chase debut at Southwell (3m, good to soft) in March; remains lightly raced for his age and ought to be a tough nut to crack here. |

12st 2lb |
Dual point winner who held on gamely to make winning rules debut in Heart Of All England at Hexham (3m, good; also suited by good to soft) this month; evidently in good nick but contests a stronger race here. |

Dual point winner (maiden/restricted) on good to soft ground at Alnwick this year and placed elsewhere on last two appearances; has a bit more on his plate on this rules debut but still considered each-way. |

Formerly a useful handicapper for Sam Thomas; 3-6 in points this year, the latest success gained by 20l this month, and seems very versatile ground-wise; must be considered on this hunter chase debut. |

In very good form last spring/summer, perhaps most notably when making all in first-time cheekpieces at Ffos Las (3m, good); won't mind if there's some lingering juice in the ground here but has fitness to prove. |

Second of four in C&D (good) hunter chase in May, but the form isn't anything to go wild about and he was pulled up when back in a handicap at Hexham last month; others look much stronger. |

Made the frame in some small-field points this spring and battled on to take modest second in four-runner hunter chase at Perth (3m, good) a fortnight ago but others in this line-up look much stronger. |

Useful handicapper in his prime and versatile regarding ground; badly out of form under rules last season but easily won five-runner point on latest outing in March, and it will be interesting to see whether he enjoys a new lease of life in hunter chases. |
