Strong stayer (3m4f point winner) and chose a good day to get off the mark under rules when winning over 3m2f at Cheltenham's hunter chase meeting last May; beaten in two points this winter (latest 11 days ago) but he'll be running on.

3rd May 2024 Good 3m 2f 70y Class 4 |
12st 4lb |
An 18-1 winner of a 3m1f hunter chase on this card 12 months ago; returned here in March on the back of good runs but reportedly found the ground too testing when pulled up, as was Premier Magic; a greater concern would be his subsequent defeat on good at Flete Park; certainly a player if bringing his 'A' game. |

15th Mar 2024 Soft 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Progressive 7yo who secured C&D honours at the hunter chase meeting here last May (good) and he was too good for useful opposition on good to soft at Wincanton in February (3m1f); 2m6f looked an inadequate test at Haydock last time, even on heavy; two of his five point wins have come on soft; not without hope of joining the party. |

17th Feb 2024 Heavy 2m 6f 54y Class 3 |

7yo who easily won a hunter chase at Cheltenham (3m2f, good) last May and beat some talented rivals in a hunter chase at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) 16 days ago; two of his five point-to-point wins have come on soft ground; could play a leading role in this follow-up bid. |

Chase career has been decidedly up and down but he's always had lots of class and won a good 2m4f Newbury handicap when last seen in April 2022; pulled up in both his previous races at about 3m but those were strong handicaps; interesting to see what the market makes of him after so long out.

12st 6lb |
Has always had lots of class and won a good 2m4f Newbury handicap in April 2022 before a lengthy spell on the sidelines; not as good as he was judged on his reappearance defeat on hunter chase debut at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) but still ran well; handled heavy ground earlier in his career. |

11st 12lb |
Inconsistent since his Grade 2 novice success in 2018, as his form figures (36P) for current yard reflect; however, has a good chance in this field provided he's back on song; third off 4lb higher in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham in November. |

Useful when trained in Ireland; returned from a long absence to win a 2m selling hurdle in November and then held his own for a long way in a good 2m4f handicap at Newbury in early December; stays this far and should go well for in-form yard.

Returned from mammoth absence with easy win in selling hurdle for new stable in November and good fourth in Newbury handicap chase (2m4f, good to soft) the following month; not at same level when third in two hunter chases this year, though, and will need to up his game a bit. |

Two competitive runs in 3m1f handicap chases before running well from out of the weights in last month's cross-country race at Cheltenham; evidently on good terms with himself and should be a factor.

Close third in this 12 months ago and similar form again over C&D the following month; on a steady decline subsequently and latest third in a small field at Fontwell was unconvincing; cheekpieces replaced by a visor. |

Has won over regulation fences and was close up behind the smart hunter chaser Shantou Flyer in a point two months ago; could go well, though it's a bit late in the day to be trying new headgear.

Kept finishing second last year after rejoining Fergal O'Brien, including on his chase debut (3m, soft); below par in his last two races (3m/3m6f) and may be found wanting on hunter chase debut.
