Verdict

STATTLER showed plenty of encouragement on his hunter debut at Hereford 18 days ago, looking in control before being reeled in close home. The former high-class chaser for W. P. Mullins is entitled to strip fitter for that run and can go one better. Major Dundee has been largely out of sorts since winning the 2023 Midlands Grand National, but he may emerge as the main threat having switched yards, with Frere d'Armes seemingly best of the rest.
