Resumed winning ways in staying handicap chase at Ludlow in December but has struggled since, well held at Cheltenham latest. Easing back down the handicap at least.

Won 3 on the bounce during spring 2022 but failed to fire in 2 runs last season after 13 months off. However, step back in the right direction when third at Aintree 2 weeks ago so not taken lightly down in class.

One-time useful chaser for Michael Scudamore and best effort for present yard when fifth of 19 in handicap chase at Cheltenham in October (25f, good to soft). Respectable sixth there on first run since 6 weeks ago and should strip fitter for that. Needs considering back down in class.

Veteran mare who took advantage of a good opportunity at Fontwell in September. Decent effort after 4 months off when fourth of 16 in handicap chase (66/1) at Cheltenham (28.1f, good) but let down by jumping at Fakenham since.

Decent second at Wincanton on return last season but has failed to build on that since and others appeal more.

Better than ever when making a winning start for this yard at Musselburgh (31.5f) in February 2023 and good fifth in Scottish National at Ayr next time. However, little to shout about both starts last season and well held back from another break at Kempton last month.

Useful hurdler/chaser at his best but off 21 months and failed to match that form last term. However, benefited by the step up in trip when scoring off a reduced mark at Fakenham (29f) last month and respected up 6 lb.

Back in the groove when landing handicap chases at Uttoxeter and Worcester (both over 2½m) in July. Ended 2023 in pretty tame fashion fitted in headgear, however, and little encouragement after 7 months off at Hereford 3 weeks ago.

Put a couple of poor efforts behind him when landing a 6-runner contest from the front at Fakenham (24.2f, soft) in November. Not so good next 2 starts, though off 5 months prior to last run.

Dual course winner who is a fair chaser nowadays and his latest Southwell third confirms he still has something to offer. However, likely to find a few too good in this class of handicap.

Forecasts

Hidden Heroics (7/2), Bbold (5/1), Court Master (5/1), Trincomalee (11/2), Broken Quest (7/1), Musical Slave (8/1), Organdi (11/1), Jony Max (16/1), Magna Sam (28/1), Judge Earle (33/1)

Verdict

COURT MASTER ran well for a long way after 6 months off when sixth in a better race than this at Cheltenham 6 weeks ago so could be the answer. Fellow veteran Broken Quest is also down in class and is another to consider, while recent Fakenham winner Trincomalee remains unexposed over this sort of trip.
