Dunraven Windows Handicap Chase

Career best when winning 4-runner handicap chase (4/5) over C&D (good to soft) 40 days ago. 5 lb rise fair and holds strong follow-up claims.

Enhanced his fine strike rate over fences when taking 4-runner handicap (11/8) at Newbury (19.8f, good to firm) in November, bit in hand. Fairly treated on return to action and must be taken seriously.

Three from 3 in handicap chases around this trip in 2021-22 but not quite got going this term, let down by her jumping in listed race at Doncaster over Christmas. Been given a chance by the handicapper.

Fair novice hurdler last season who made a positive start over fences this term, scoring over C&D in October and following up at Doncaster (19.1f) a month later. Back on the up when second in a small-field handicap at Newbury latest and can't be ruled out.

Revitalised since having breathing op/joining Joe Tizzard this term, cosily completing his hat-trick in 2m Newbury handicap last month. Shaped as if still in good form when fourth at Newton Abbot (21f) latest and must enter calculations.

Ran right up to his best when returning to winning ways over C&D in December and largely acquitted himself well in defeat since. Possibly found test too much when third at Newbury (22.4f, soft) last time and not discounted.

Really got his act together in 2022, landing a 4-timer (including a hat-trick at this course) in staying handicap chases. Been largely disappointing since, however, and will likely find this trip on the sharp side. Cheekpieces on first time.
