5/2

Fair in bumpers for Gearoid Patrick Brouder and showed some aptitude for hurdling when fifth of 12 in novice at Taunton (19f, soft) in January 2023. Hiked up in trip for chase debut (won last 2 of 7 starts in points, latest Apr 20).

2/1

Multiple point winner who matched previous form in this sphere on first run since leaving T. Ellis when fourth of 6 at Stratford (22.6f, good to soft) 16 days ago. More severe headgear enlisted and should go well.

11/10

Fair hurdler who made a decent start over fences last year, finishing runner-up twice. Has since left Oliver Sherwood and with first-time cheekpieces on, he looks the one to beat on his first start in a hunter chase. Dual winning pointer, runner-up last time (Apr 13).

Forecasts

Trevada (11/10), Precious Bounty (2/1), Court Cian (5/2), Ultra Viers (10/1)

TREVADA made an encouraging start over fences last year and arriving fit from points (dual winner), Francesca Poste's 8-y-o looks the way to go on his first start in a hunter chase. He can get the better of Precious Bounty, who matched his previous form in this sphere at Stratford last month and now has more severe headgear enlisted. Court Cian can fill out third.
