Off time: 15:20 | Winning time: 6m 22.53s

Koenigsstern¹⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: James Davies| T: N J Gifford| OR: 105| D

6/1

Dual winning pointer who opened chase account at Fontwell on Boxing Day 2024. Posted his best effort since that victory when a clear second at Warwick (2½m, good to soft) recently and, still on a feasible mark back up 2 lb, he has to enter calculations.

Form: 1464-32

Icaque de L'Isle²⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Harry Bannister| T: R Bandey| OR: 105| CD

8/1

Hurdles winner here last February and positive start to this season when third of 9 in a handicap (also over hurdles) at Worcester. Not disgraced both subsequent starts but yet to win over fences on these shores and one or two of the others make more appeal for win purposes.

Form: 531-355

Thruthelookinglass²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-13| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 104

7/2

Very lightly raced in recent times but has returned from another break with a couple of encouraging efforts this winter, latterly finishing fourth of 12 over a similar trip to this at Huntingdon (soft). Solid each-way claims.

Form: U53/4-34

Montmartin^t²⁸⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-6| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 97

10/3

Cost a fair bit and progressed over hurdles during 2022/23 campaign, runner-up on handicap debut on final start of that campaign at Southwell. Shaped pretty well back from almost 2 years off when third of 11 on chase debut at Ffos Las (3m, good to soft) and he's open to improvement in this sphere.

Form: 0032/3-

One Last Glance^t,p⁴⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-5| J: Freddie Mitchell⁽³⁾| T: T R Gretton| OR: 96

15/2

Won twice on soft/heavy last season and was in the process of running creditably on second start of the campaign when unseating at Plumpton (25.7f, good) in November. Pulled clear of the rest when runner-up over 3m at Wetherby (soft) next time and another bold show may well be on the way.

Form: 142-6U2

Givehimthehonour^p⁸²

Age: 8| Weight: 11-3| J: Jack Tudor| T: D Pipe| OR: 94| D

12/1

Fair ex-Irish hurdler but hasn't shown much at all in 4 runs since switched to fences, including his 3 starts for present connections.

Form: 82/P55-8

Felton Bellevue^b,t¹⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 10-11| J: C Gethings| T: B I Case| OR: 88| CD

10/1

Veteran whose last success came over C&D in soft ground last February. Took a step back in the right direction with blinkers enlisted when third in a 7-runner Windsor handicap chase (good) recently and each-way chance here, provided that the headgear works equally well second time round.

Form: 4P-7553

Endersen⁴²

Age: 9| Weight: 10-3| J: Harry Kimber| T: R Rowe| OR: 80

11/2

Low-mileage maiden who has been running well over hurdles this season, including when third from out of the weights here in November. However, he again failed to fire in this sphere at Fontwell last time and it's easy enough to look elsewhere.

Form: 6P-3234

Forecasts

Montmartin (10/3), Thruthelookinglass (7/2), Better Off Alone (9/2), Endersen (11/2), Koenigsstern (6/1), One Last Glance (15/2), Icaque de L'Isle (8/1), Star Of Diamonds (8/1), Felton Bellevue (10/1), Givehimthehonour (12/1)

It was highly encouraging to see MONTMARTIN perform as well as he did when third on chase debut at Ffos Las spring, particularly bearing in mind that he was returning from almost two years on the sidelines. If able to build on that back from a nine-month absence here, he will have a serious chance off this 3 lb lower mark. One Last Glance and Koenigsstern both found just one too last time out and are feared most in that order of preference, while Thruthelookinglass is another strong candidate.
