Pointing Pointers Dick And Sue Woodhouse Memorial Hunters' Chase (For The Dick Woodhouse Trophy)

Massive success story for Dan Skelton minus headgear in 2024/25, winning 6 of 8 starts over fences at up to 17.2f. Efforts in points of late for this yard not particularly inspiring, though. Cheekpieces on.

Very smart chaser at his peak. Still with his leading yard and well below that level over hurdles in more recent times. Very easy to back but stuck to his task when runner-up on hunter debut over 25f here 4 weeks ago. Looks the one to beat.

Runner-up in a hunter for this yard in May and won a regulation handicap chase for Barry Brennan a month later. Excuses for starts under Rules since but he lacks a recent run.

Under the care of Will Biddick when winning a 25f course hunter in January 2025. Might have found the run coming too soon when pulled up at Leicester a fortnight later but was disappointing in repeat bid here back with Paul Nicholls last month. Cheekpieces added.

Smart handicap chaser for Willie Mullins in 2022/23. Showed he retains a fair level of ability for new stable, placed again at Taunton having undergone a breathing operation last month.

Off the mark at the eighth time of asking in points in April 2025. Off since and others look more solid.
