Chepstow

Continues in top form, opening account over fences in C&D handicap last month before a fine run under a penalty at Warwick, making a big move into contention despite a series of errors and seeing her race out well. Leading claims.

No match for a thriving sort at Southwell last time but went about things in a much more likeable manner than on his chasing debut after being strong in the betting. One to consider up in trip.

Placed all 4 completed starts over fences, albeit a bit flattered by his proximity to the winner at Ffos Las 4 weeks ago, his jumping not so clean as it might have been. Bit more needed.

A reformed character this season, taking handicaps at Southwell and Taunton under this rider while the pair did well again when second contesting a 0-110 for the first time at the latter track 4 weeks ago. Nudged up 1 lb and can give another good account.

Hurdles/point winner who scored on chasing debut at Ludlow (3m) on return. Ran his best race since behind a couple of these at Taunton last month but didn't impress with his jumping. Down another 2 lb.

Lightly raced since his successful chase debut at Uttoxeter (20f, heavy) in November 2023, running respectably in a competitive event at Haydock 8 weeks ago, disputing lead until bad mistake 4 out. One to note back up in trip.

Modest handicap hurdler (last 2 wins here) who hasn't really fired of late and has work to do now going chasing.

Point winner who made a successful start under Rules in C&D hunter chase last spring. However, he has failed to complete on all 3 starts this term, including in a handicap at Taunton last time. Has it all to prove.
