CT1 Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Course winner improved to get off the mark second time up over fences when making all in 3-runner novice at Warwick but despite a prominent market position, has failed to see out his race on both subsequent starts. Questions to answer now.

Fairly useful 4-time hurdle winner went as close as she has over fences when clear second in 2½m mares handicap at Ludlow last time, seeing out her race much better than previously this season. Back against the geldings but remains on a workable mark.

Lightly-raced 7-y-o whose sole success came at short odds in a course maiden hurdle in December 2024. Outbattled when runner-up in useful 4-runner novice on chase debut/reappearance in January but that was a much-improved performance on the figures. Leading contender.

Fairly useful hurdler who is entitled to improve for his chase debut third at Warwick in January, though historically he hasn't been the most robust.
