7/1

Opened chase account at the third attempt at Carlisle last spring and bounced back to form last season when making all under this rider in 6-runner amateurs handicap at Market Rasen 6 weeks ago. Could make another bid with latest effort behind him.

Samuel Spade¹³¹

Age: 7| Weight: 12-2| J: Beau Morgan⁽⁵⁾| T: B Pauling| OR: 122

17/2

Five-time winner over hurdles, with latest success at Ascot in February last year. However, he's not always a fluent jumper and ran well below form on his last 2 starts, well held back at Ascot in January. Makes chase debut.

Form: 57/9788-

Court In A Storm^t⁴²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Thomas Bellamy| T: K Bailey & M Nicholls| OR: 115| BF| D

9/4

Completed hat-trick (including a bumper win) when making all in a Uttoxeter novice hurdle in October. Proved expensive to follow in handicaps the remainder of the campaign, but he appeals as the type who should make a chaser.

Form: 1/1F743-

Sunray Shadow^p,t⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 113

5/4

With Harry Skelton back on board, confirmed recent promise over hurdles when winning 6-runner handicap at Huntingdon 9 days ago, scoring readily. Noteworthy chasing debutant for his leading yard.

Form: 57542-1

Masterdream^p,t⁴⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-13| J: C O'Farrell| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 105| CD

12/1

Landed a trio of handicaps over fences in 2025, including over this C&D on the first occasion. Let down by his jumping last 2 outings, returning from 6 months off when last of 3 at Wincanton in April, but he merits consideration back here.

Form: 411133-

Zacony Rebel^b,t¹⁸

Age: 11| Weight: 10-11| J: Charlie Price| T: S-J Davies| OR: 103| C

12/1

Veteran who caused a surprise from 10 lb out of the weights at Ludlow (3m) in April. Encouragingly backed that up also winning 4-runner event over the same C&D 18 days ago, though he was helped by the favourite disappointing.

Form: 94451-1

Forecasts

Sunray Shadow (5/4), Court In A Storm (9/4), Mt Fugi Park (7/1), Samuel Spade (17/2), Zacony Rebel (12/1), Masterdream (12/1), Impatient (14/1)

SUNRAY SHADOW recorded his first handicap success over hurdles with something in hand at Huntingdon 9 days ago and makes plenty of appeal as he goes chasing with his yard in excellent form. He gets the vote ahead of Mt Fuji Park, who returned to winning ways on his latest outing, with Masterdream also in the mix returned to this track.
