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.

Scored at Bangor (3m) in June and remains in good heart, again third and not beaten far at Taunton behind Safe Destination last time. Place claims once more.

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.
