Pyoneer Open Hunters' Chase

Fairly useful hurdler/chaser for Nigel Twiston-Davies but well below that level on hunter chase debut for new yard at Leicester last month.

Useful chaser who lost his way in handicaps prior to completing a relatively simple task at Leicester on hunter debut 13 months ago. Not in same form following 2 starts but must enter calculations on return here.

Off the mark at fifth attempt in points last month but was only modest over hurdles and has plenty to find on hunter chase bow here. Cheekpieces on first time.

Useful chaser in Ireland at his peak and confirmed he retains a chunk of his ability when second on debut in hunter at Taunton in January. Still going better than most when coming down 3 out in Foxhunters at Cheltenham last month and holds strong claims here.

Multiple point winner who posted her best race under Rules when creditable second of 6 in hunter chase over C&D (good) 13 days ago. Warrants respect.
