Record 5-7 (hurdles/fences) for current yard and 3-3 since ridden by Charlie Deutsch; looked value for more than the winning margin at Ludlow (2m4f, soft) most recently; respected with further progress possible.

Rodney

J: Charlie Deutsch

T: Kerry Lee

Dual hurdle winner; fell when appearing to have it in the bag on his chase debut and perhaps remembering that tumble when below par next time; has since got himself firmly back on track with wins at Leicester (2m, good) and Hereford (2m5f, soft); benefited from sitting off a strong pace last time and has gone up 10lb, but looks a chaser on the upgrade.

Down in distance and off the mark at Leicester (2m, heavy) last month, left clear three out; a 7lb rise is hardly lenient on the face of it, but he could be unexposed at this trip.

J: Tristan Durrell

T: Dan Skelton

Joined Dan Skelton after promising Irish bumper debut at start of 2025; hasn't made an impact in four chase runs for current yard but he's had some tough assignments and he shaped better than the bare facts when runner-up on handicap debut at Ffos Las (2m3f, soft); has taken a strong hold in his last two runs and he's a possible improver on this drop back in trip.

Won a novice handicap chase at Taunton (2m, good) for Joe Tickle in January and fair third over same C&D next time; changed yards last month having had a wind op, and was a well-beaten third of three at Chepstow on stable debut (2m, good); hung right there so this track should suit better.

Able to dominate when cashing in a career-low mark at Taunton in January (2m, good), his sole win in 14 chasing starts; hasn't gone on since, but back to within 2lb of that figure now and one previous wind operation provoked a small spike in form; chance on first start for new yard.

Off the mark at the 11th attempt over fences at Taunton (2m, good) in January, and he's run well on testing ground in the past; below par on his last two starts but drops back in grade today and could give a good account.

Beaten on first seven chase starts but showed improved form to win comfortably at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) in February and he bumped into a progressive winner there (2m3f, soft) last month, when clear of the third; there can be optimism that he will be fine back down in trip and he's respected.

Doing surprisingly well over fences as he's not bred for them; he might just be a shade high in the weights now after his hat-trick bid came up shy in a three-runner race but he must still have some sort of chance on ground he handles.

Not bred for fences but has collected small-field chase wins on soft ground at Plumpton (2m1f) and Fontwell (2m2f) in recent weeks, and may be even better suited by the forecast good ground on this hat-trick attempt.
