Unbeaten in two starts since joining this stable from Ireland following up a point-to-point success by taking a novice hunter chase at Catterick (3m1f, soft) a month ago. Runner-up has franked the form since and he is one for the shortlist today.
Point-to-point winner on good ground in December and has finished runner-up on all three hunter chase starts since including over an extended 2m7f on heavy ground in February. Likely to play a leading role once more.
Point-to-point winner at Friars Haugh (soft) in a three runner contest last month but beaten in a conditions event at Corbridge (good) subsequently. Likely needs to improve on what he's shown of late if he's to take this contest.
Winner of a point-to-point on good-to-soft ground at Overton when last in action two weeks ago. Well held in a Musselburgh (soft) hunter chase in February and more needed today.

Duhallow Tornado (5/4), Cultram Abbey (11/8), Leavethelighton (5/1), Nine Altars (16/1), Play Practice (33/1)
CULTRAM ABBEY can improve on trainer Nicky Richards current 30% strike-rate (3/10) by taking the concluding event on the card, a hunter chase over 3m2f. The selection can get the better of the progressive top weight Duhallow Tornado who is seeking a fourth consecutive victory today while Leavethelighton, a useful horse under rules in Ireland a couple of years ago can finish third.
