Won this in 2023 (good to soft) and bagged further hunter chase wins in the same Stratford race in May 2024 and 2025 (2m6f, good); won a point last month and he's better than he showed when tailed off in this last April, but this 11yo probably isn't as good as he once was and others are preferred.

Among the very best hunter chasers in his prime, with career highlight a success over the big Aintree fences in April 2023; beat Imperial Esprit to win this race under Izzie Hill in 2024 and has collected three point wins this year but last month's Aintree run was very disappointing and he may not be as good as he was; sports first-time cheekpieces.

J: Miss Izzie Marshall

T: C R Barber

Made light work of Shantou Flyer in a hunter chase in early 2023, after which he was sixth at Cheltenham (looked the likely winner until stamina gave way) before easily winning the Foxhunters' at Aintree (2m5f, good to soft); finished legless at Punchestown four weeks ago but on ground that was softer than the official yielding and he only capitulated late on after travelling best for a long way; should win this, provided conditions don't deteriorate.
