Colts & Fillies Club Open Hunters' Chase

Stays well, and only just failed in latest outing in points, but lacks the class of one or two of these, and shorter trip is not sure to bring out the best in him.

Didn't always find much off the bridle for Paul Nicholls, but transformed by new yard in points/hunters, looking fully effective from 2m to 3m, and possessing a good turn of foot. Latest hunter win sandwiched by victories between the flags, and has the ability to take higher rank in this sphere.

Smart handicap hurdler on his day, and built on point debut second when beating reluctant Sybarite in Leicester hunter in February. Creditable second next time, but something to find on this season's form if he's to regain winning ways.

Once a useful chaser, but off for well over two years before just a fair third on hunter bow at Leicester, and looks held by a few of these on that form. Needs to step up markedly.

Won his first five starts in points/under rules, but last victory came in a jumpers' bumper more than three years ago, and generally regressive for several different yards since.
