11st 6lb |
Won two hunter chases in April on good ground before gifted a point walkover; can't be ruled out after those exploits and his hurdle figure is 10lb beneath his chase mark; had win and placed form for Olly Murphy in this discipline. |

12st 6lb |
Rampant in sub-3m good-ground hurdle races and chases last summer, and has the beating of Yippee Ki Yay on a line through Macklin, whom he trounced at Exeter last time (3m, good); still fairly lightly raced over this sort of trip, and drying forecast rates a big plus. |

11st 12lb |
Track and going types come alike to this former Kelso and Exeter hunter chase winner (soft and good to soft); 11l behind a rival later drubbed by Stumps Or Slips on his most recent hunter chase start, but confidence levels topped up with an easy point win at Eyton-on-Severn (good to firm) since. |

Won twice under rules (once over C&D) in 2024; slightly disappointing when favourite for his latest point but the form of his first two runs this season reads quite well in this context; no surprise if he features. |

Won two hunter chases last year but those wins were in much easier races and he doesn't look in the same form now. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Hampered when unseating in an open point at neighbouring Howick last month, and generally a safe ride; both handicap chase wins (from 17 starts over fences) have come over Wincanton's 3m1f on ground softer than good, and the drying forecast isn't strictly ideal. |

11st 12lb |
Rated much higher in the past so Newbury last time was disappointing (3m2f, good to soft) after going up just 3lb for winning a small-field handicap at Wincanton (3m1f, soft); getting back on soft ground should help and he'll stay okay. |

11st 12lb |
Landed back-to-back Fontwell and Wincanton staying handicap chases three years ago (good to soft); blameless exit behind Stumps Or Slips latest (hampered) but capable of throwing in his own errors or jumping right; form of this year's completed efforts falls well short of the required. |

Four wins under rules divided between hurdles and fences but at an ordinary level; 66-1 when tailed off behind Macklin here last month. |

Dual handicap winner in 2023 but last year's point/hunter chase form was uninspiring and he was a long way behind Crawter when reappearing in a Larkhill point this month. |

12st 2lb |
Splendid old-timer who has won both confined novice (2019) and grassroots (2025) incarnations of this race (each on good); always held by a match-fit and five-years younger rival on this month's seasonal return, albeit beaten just 2l; likely to be spot on for his title defence. |

Stratford record of P3322 includes a John Corbet third to Law Of Gold in 2019; no doubting his appetite for the game remains judged on scores in a Howick open and (latest) the Dunraven Bowl at Chepstow, but he'd be the oldest winner of this race since 15-year-old Otter Way in 1983. |
