1st (3)  (9/2 +44%)A Jet Of Our Own |
9/2(+44%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) A Jet Of Our Own 9/2, Dam unraced half-sister to modest chaser (stayed 3m) Royal Ranger. Multiple point winner, including last time (Apr 20) so that should set him up nicely for a first crack under Rules. Won a point this month and now 5-16 in that sphere; considered each-way on rules debut. |
|||
2nd (2)  (Evens +9%)Fier Jaguen |
Evens(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Fier Jaguen Evens, Unseated rider when prominent for the Foxhunters' at Aintree in April 2023 and overcame a tendency to jump markedly to his right when seeing off Caryto des Brosses and 8 other rivals in this race a year ago. Runner-up in a point last month and another bold bid looks assured. Won this race in 2023 and has very good chance to defend his crown. |
|||
3rd (9)  (9/1 -13%)Missed Tee |
9/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Missed Tee 9/1, Fair hurdles for Dan Skelton and stepped up on her opening run in hunters when third at Ludlow in March. Does need to cut out these errors, particularly over these fences. Bounced back from disappointing stable debut when third at Ludlow; more needed here. |
|||
4th (6)  (33/1 -106%)Funky Sensation |
33/1(-106%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Funky Sensation 33/1, Rules record is rather uninspiring, looking flattered by his fifth place-finish on this card a year ago (20.6f). Excelled himself when fifth over 2m4f at this meeting last year but still opposable. |
|||
|U| (5)  (28/1 +15%)Fine Investment |
28/1(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Fine Investment 28/1, Little in the way of promise under Rules early in his career but fit from a point he stuck to his take when third in a maiden hunter in February (20f). Runner-up between the flags recently but may not have the pace for this. Respectable third in Leicester hunter chase in February but others look stronger here. |
|||
|PU| (1)  (5/2 -67%)Caryto Des Brosses |
5/2(-67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Caryto Des Brosses 5/2, Coped really well with drop to 2m when finding only the re-opposing Fier Jaguen too strong in this race a year ago. Warmed up for this with an easy point win and cheekpieces are on for the first time under Rules. Clear second in this race last year and an easy point winner two weeks ago. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (100/1 -150%)Bigforyourboots |
100/1(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Bigforyourboots 100/1, Dam unraced sister to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 33f) Howdydoody. No impact in a Doncaster bumper for Sam Allwood in January and unplaced completed start in points. Showed some promise in a maiden point in March but is not the most obvious answer here. |
|||
|PU| (7)  (100/1 -100%)Rewritetherules |
100/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Rewritetherules 100/1, Multiple point winner but rarely shows his form in hunters. Third in this race in 2022 but has looked out of sorts this year (pulled up three times). |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
FIER JAGUEN bids to land this contest for a second year running and the son of No Risk At All ticks plenty of the right boxes. Bradley Gibbs' gelding has been in fine fettle between the flags in recent months and he's taken to fend off Caryto Des Brosses once more. The veteran is a potential improver in first-time cheekpieces and he should give another good account, while Missed Tee may fare best of the remainder at the foot of the weights.
CARYTO DES BROSSES and Fier Jaguen dominated this race a year ago and a similar scenario may well be on the cards again, with the placings selected to be reversed in the hope David Kemp's inmate is ridden slighter closer to his rival this time.
Last year's winner FIER JAGUEN has returned in good form in points this year and is still unexposed under rules.

1st (3)  (3/1 -33%)Iskandar Pecos |
3/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Iskandar Pecos 3/1, Multiple point winner who made it two from three in hunters when scoring at Ludlow last time. Longer trip is in his favour and he boasts obvious claims. Sets very good standard of rules form; will be hard to beat if today's trip/ground suits. |
|||
2nd (4)  (7/2 +30%)Latenightrumble |
7/2(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Latenightrumble 7/2, Sulamani gelding. Multiple point winner, including last time (Apr 1). Half-brother to 2 previous winners of this race, notably Latenightpass, so he's worth chancing first time under Rules. Beat two rivals with minimal fuss last month and now 4-7 in points; must be considered. |
|||
3rd (7)  (22/1 +12%)Padjoes Legacy |
22/1(+12%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Padjoes Legacy 22/1, Multiple point winner, beat sole rival last time (Apr 13) and booking of Gina Andrews catches the eye, so one to respect on first go under Rules. Won his last two points (latter was a match) but others have more compelling form. |
|||
4th (5)  (40/1 -21%)Minella Jab |
40/1(-21%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Minella Jab 40/1, Multiple point winner who bettered his Rules debut when third in a hunter at Exeter a fortnight ago. He's likely to come up short in this, however. Recent Exeter third came in a much weaker race than this. |
|||
5th (9)  (10/3 -90%)Wolf Walker |
10/3(-90%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Wolf Walker 10/3, €47,000 3-y-o, Diamond Boy gelding. Dam, little sign of ability. Won last 3 of 6 starts in points (latest Mar 23). One to note under one of the top jockeys in this sphere. Quickened clear to win Larkhill restricted by 15l in March; now 3-3 for current stable. |
|||
6th (8)  (17/2 +29%)Paper Mill |
17/2(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Paper Mill 17/2, Showed nothing on only Rules outing but he's a multiple point winner, including on his last 2 starts (latest Feb 4), so worth a market check on first go in hunters. Far too good for Olly Norse in February and has now won four of last five points. |
|||
7th (2)  (16/1 -33%)Coolagh Park |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Coolagh Park 16/1, Fair in bumpers/over hurdles for Gordon Elliott some time ago. Has enjoyed success in points since and stable has a solid record in this sphere. Ran well from the front when second in conditions point in March; enters calculations. |
|||
8th (6)  (28/1 +30%)Olly Norse |
28/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Olly Norse 28/1, Norse Dancer gelding. Dam fair 21f hurdle winner. Point winner, runner-up last 2 starts (latest Feb 4). Wears cheekpieces. 11l adrift of Paper Mill when second at Garthorpe in latest point; rules debut today. |
|||
|F| (1)  (5/1 -11%)Another Furlough |
5/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Another Furlough 5/1, £4,000 5-y-o, Shirocco gelding. Multiple point winner, including last 2 starts (latest Mar 16). Wears tongue strap. Beat good yardstick on latest outing and now 5-11 in points; rules debut today. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Despite racing somewhat lazily, ISKANDAR PECOS completed a double over 2m4f at Ludlow last month. This stiffer test of stamina should see the six-year-old travel better and he rates as the one to beat. The biggest threat may emerge from Rules debutant Latenightrumble, who regained the winning thread in a point-to-point last time out. Wolf Walker could also make an impact now tried under NH rules and market support could prove significant.
LATENIGHTRUMBLE has already enjoyed plenty of success between the flags, including last time, and he's related to a couple of past winners of this race, so he should be primed for a big run. Iskandar Pecos arrives on a hat-trick and sets the standard, so he's an obvious player and Wolf Walker should be considered.
This is packed with progressive pointers but ISKANDAR PECOS sets an unusually high standard of rules form and gets the verdict.

1st (9)  (11/1 +8%)What A Glance |
11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) What A Glance 11/1, Holding form well in points and ran best race under Rules when again chasing home Deise Aba at Stratford (22.6f) 12 days ago. Not out of things for each-way purposes provided he stays this longer trip. Chased home the same good horse in his last two races and that brings him into contention. |
|||
2nd (10)  (4/1 -14%)Yippee Ki Yay |
4/1(-14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Yippee Ki Yay 4/1, Four-time point winner who made a successful start to his hunter career at Exeter (24.2f) and di well to finish back there having lost plenty of ground following a mid-race error. Remains one to be interested in provided that hasn't dented his confidence. Two good runs at Exeter; only a 6yo and this less taxing ground might well assist him. |
|||
3rd (4)  (13/2 +19%)Haven't Time |
13/2(+19%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Haven't Time 13/2, Winning pointer who showed benefit of his reappearance when winning 7-runner Hunter at Southwell (24.2f, heavy) in March. Seemed to find stamina running dry faced with stiffer test when third at Exeter (24.2f, heavy) since and faces an even longer trip here. Beat Polish at Southwell and then third when heavy ground was perhaps too testing. |
|||
4th (5)  (4/1 -60%)Jetaway Joey |
4/1(-60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Jetaway Joey 4/1, Fairly useful hurdler for Olly Murphy during 2021/22 campaign who has won 3 of his 4 starts in points following his stable switch, latterly a match in March. Connections enjoy plenty of success in this sphere and he's well worthy of respect here. Useful rules form and has won his last three points; easy to see him going well. |
|||
5th (6)  (7/2 -5%)Jeux D'eau |
7/2(-5%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Jeux D'eau 7/2, Jeu St Eloi gelding. Half-brother to 1¾m bumper winner in France Gyrseau. Multiple point winner, including last 3 starts (latest Apr 20). Remains pretty low-mileage as a 6-y-o and interesting what the market makes of him on debut in this sphere. Beat a respected rival in his latest point and this 6yo is far from exposed. |
|||
6th (3)  (14/1 -100%)Fil D'ariane |
14/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Fil D'ariane 14/1, Fair performer for Tom Symonds who was in process of running very well when falling 2 out in Royal Artillery Gold Cup in February. Possibly did too much in front when fourth in Stratford Hunter (21f) a month later and no surprise to see him give a good account. Never gave his running last time on heavy; player on his earlier Sandown efforts. |
|||
7th (2)  (40/1 -100%)Earl Of Desmond |
40/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Earl Of Desmond 40/1, Fair hurdler who filled runners-up spot in pair of maiden hunters in spring 2022. However, pulled up on back of a lengthy absence for new stable at Exeter 45 days ago and he'll need to leave that well behind to figure. Hard to trust after pulling up at Exeter on the back of a long absence. |
|||
|F| (7)  (7/2 +56%)Polish |
7/2(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Polish 7/2, Versatile performer who ran much better than on his debut in this sphere when 1¾ lengths second of 7 to Haven't Time in hunter chase at Southwell (24.3f, heavy) 60 days ago. No surprise to see him give another good account over this slightly longer trip. Second again at Southwell most recently; may need to better that performance here. |
|||
|PU| (8)  (150/1 -50%)Terrierman |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Terrierman 150/1, Fair handicap hurdler for Tom Lacey and has won a couple of points since. Well beaten on Hunter chase debut at Stratford in March though and similar story when finishing distant third between the Flags on latest outing in April. Others preferred. Has no form claims on his achievements during the last 12 months. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Yippee Ki Yay arrives on the back of a solid second at Exeter and he's sure to prove popular as the highest-rated runner in this contest. However, it could be worth taking a chance on JETAWAY JOEY, who completed a hat-trick on his reappearance between the flags in March. Georgina Ellis' charge was a useful hurdler under Rules and he looks to possess enough ability to land a race of this nature. Polish and Haven't Time are also worth a closer look.
A good winner on his debut in this sphere at Exeter in March, YIPPEE KI KAY did well to finish second having made a serious mid-race error back at that venue 39 days ago and, youthful by hunter standards, with the prospect of more to come, he's of interest again. Jetaway Joey is another to note having landed 3 of his 4 starts between the Flag for his connections, with Polish and Haven't Time completing the shortlist.
This looks open. JETAWAY JOEY had some useful form for Olly Murphy and it was good to see him win his latest point after so long out.

1st (6)  (10/3 +26%)Fairly Famous |
10/3(+26%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Fairly Famous 10/3, Took off in points for this yard (successful in 5 of 6 starts, including latest March 3) and made a highly impressive hunter debut when cruising to success at this meeting last season. Disappointed on his return to Rules at Wetherby 3 months ago but heavy ground a possible excuse. Won easily at this meeting 12 months ago and this 7yo seems to be improving. |
|||
2nd (3)  (10/3 -141%)Premier Magic |
10/3(-141%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Premier Magic 10/3, Likeable type who belied huge odds to win Festival Challenge Cup Hunters' Chase at the Cheltenham Festival sole start in 2022/23. Followed up in this race last season but disappointed when bidding to defend his crown at this year's Festival. Can bounce back. Former Festival winner who dotted up in this last year; poor last time but can bounce back. |
|||
3rd (7)  (11/2 -22%)Lift Me Up |
11/2(-22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Lift Me Up 11/2, Multiple point winner, including last time (Mar 30). Impressed when landing a 7-runner hunter at Newbury 13 months ago but beaten quickly at this meeting last year. Ran no race at this meeting last year but progressive otherwise; could go well. |
|||
4th (8)  (33/1 +50%)Definite Dilemma |
33/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Definite Dilemma 33/1, Multiple point winner, third last time (Apr 20). Just fair form in chases, including when second at this meeting sole start in 2021/22 for Will Biddick. Not seen under Rules since. Has won five points but not in the past 12 months and he's up against it at this level. |
|||
5th (4)  (6/1 +8%)Quintin's Man |
6/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Quintin's Man 6/1, Multiple point winner who has scored twice in hunters last season. Never really got into a rhythm when pulled up in Festival Challenge Cup Hunters' Chase at the Festival and only fourth back in a point 2 weeks ago. Course winner over 3m1f; has the form to feature but latest point run was disappointing. |
|||
6th (5)  (40/1 +0%)Encounter A Giant |
40/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Encounter A Giant 40/1, Prolific point winner but was last of 4 finishers last time (Apr 20) and well held in this 12 months ago. Tailed off in this 12 months ago and suffered the same fate in his latest point. |
|||
|PU| (2)  (3/1 +33%)Deise Aba |
3/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Deise Aba 3/1, Useful but unpredictable chaser for Philip Hobbs but has won all 3 starts in points for this yard and made a winning return to Rules in hunter at Stratford 12 days ago. Respected. Always had some class and comes here after winning comfortably at Stratford. |
|||
|PU| (1)  (14/1 -17%)Captain Tommy |
14/1(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Captain Tommy 14/1, Back to best when winning first 2 starts in hunters for this yard earlier this year. Not seen to best effect when ninth of 22 in Foxhunters at Aintree 3 weeks ago, though not shaping as if likely to get himself involved when finding the winner jumping across him at the fourth last. Bit to find here. This not so demanding as Aintree but relying on some of these being off their game. |
|||
|PU| (9)  (40/1 +20%)Ripper Roo |
40/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Ripper Roo 40/1, Fair form over hurdles/well held completed starts in chases for Olly Murphy (sold £4,500). Winning pointer, including last time (Apr 20). Plenty to find back under Rules. Recent point winner but lacks course form and likely to be outclassed. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
The older horses have held sway in this contest in recent years which suggests a big run could be on the cards from the veteran Deise Aba, who has won three out of four point-to-points before scoring in this sphere at Stratford last month. He can go well but PREMIER MAGIC won this at odds-on last season and looks set for another bold effort, despite pulling up here at the Festival. Fairly Famous and Lift Me Up represent the younger generation and they may fight it out for the minor placing.
PREMIER MAGIC disappointed when bidding to defend his crown in the Festival Challenge Cup Hunters' Chase here 7 weeks ago but he can bounce back with a bang and repeat last year's success in this. Deise Aba has made a positive start for this yard and is next best ahead of Fairly Famous, who was an impressive winner at this meeting last season.
If last year's winner Premier Magic is at his best then he may strike again but FAIRLY FAMOUS (nap) is an interesting alternative.

1st (1)  (3/10 +40%)Regatta De Blanc |
3/10(+40%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Regatta De Blanc 3/10, Unbeaten pointer who made a successful hunter debut at Taunton in January. Bettered that when second to a useful sort at Newbury in March and hard to beat here with further progress likely. Career return of 5-5 until mastered by Secret Investor latest; case appears strong. |
|||
2nd (6)  (40/1 +39%)Grenadine Save |
40/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Grenadine Save 40/1, Well held on her completed start in hunters this year. First-time blinkers (which replace cheekpieces) will need to spark major improvement. Triple small-field point winner in 2023; limitations in hunter chases exposed latterly. |
|||
|F| (3)  (8/1 +71%)Daisy Yeats |
8/1(+71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Daisy Yeats 8/1, Won a maiden point last May but has drawn a blank in that sphere since. Would be a surprise winner on hunter debut. Left solo on her maiden point win a year ago; faces a big task against the best of these. |
|||
|PU| (2)  (5/1 +50%)Chenery |
5/1(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Chenery 5/1, Modest form under Rules. Has won in the pointing field for current stable (second on latest start a month ago) but others preferred on hunter debut. Not always easy, but ran up a hat-trick this time last year; modest chase form in 2021-22. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
REGATTA DE BLANC does have to give 3lb to all of his rivals here, but that seems unlikely to stop him as Will Biddick looks to get another win for the six-year-old. Unbeaten in his first five starts, including four point-to-points and a Taunton hunter chase, he was second at Newbury but could get back to winning ways now. Chenery might come out best of the rest and finish second once more, leaving Dul Ar Aghaidh as an option for third.
REGATTA DE BLANC has made a very promising start to her career and could prove a cut above this opposition under Will Biddick. Irish-recruit Dul Ar Aghaidh is preferred to Exeter runner-up Harbour Queen for the forecast spot.
If neither the track type nor her jumping find her out, REGATTA DE BLANC should prove far too good for Dul Ar Aghaidh and the rest.

1st (2)  (3/1 +25%)Gaboriot |
3/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Gaboriot 3/1, Won a pair of 3m handicaps in the autumn and regained the winning thread when easily landing a hunter at Catterick in March. Unseated in Foxhunters' at Aintree since but capable of getting involved in this. Useful 2023-24 before unseating in the Aintree Foxhunters'; marathon trip is worth a try. |
|||
2nd (9)  (6/1 -140%)Master Templar |
6/1(-140%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Master Templar 6/1, Rules form is only fair at best but he's been prolific in points since and looked as good as ever in that sphere last time. Worth monitoring in the betting. 10 wins from 15 points (beat two of these at Cotley latest); stamina proven to 3m6f. |
|||
3rd (1)  (6/1 +14%)D'jango |
6/1(+14%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) D'jango 6/1, Appeared to be very much on the decline prior to turning it round in hunters, scoring in an 8-runner event at Warwick in January. Has remained in form since and should give a good account. Keeping-on Festival Challenge Cup fourth; below par behind two of these at Cotley latest. |
|||
4th (12)  (22/1 -38%)Perfect Pirate |
22/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Perfect Pirate 22/1, Fair hurdler/chaser for Ben Pauling a few years ago and has done well in points since. Successful in that sphere last time and not a forlorn hope having first go at hunters. On the way back; 3m point win over Easter (heavy); might prefer conditions not to quicken. |
|||
5th (13)  (5/1 +38%)Pym |
5/1(+38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Pym 5/1, Not the force of old and was disappointing in two runs for Nigel Twiston-Davies. That said, he's looked firmly back on track between the flags lately and he was a classy sort on his day, so worthy of respect. Two conditions wins in points since March (soft, good); more needed, but confidence is up. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (9/4 -29%)Law Of Gold |
9/4(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Law Of Gold 9/4, Most likeable and consistent hunter chaser who landed this last year. Not himself at Stratford next time but he's been in top form in points lately and should put up another bold showing. Neck second (2022) and winner (2023) in this race; point win over Fier Jaguen latest. |

|PU| (7)  (16/1 +0%)Coup De Pinceau |
16/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Coup De Pinceau 16/1, Struggling for form when last seen under Rules 11 months ago but has got back on track to some degree in points and won this a couple of years ago, so he's worthy of consideration. Just denied Law Of Gold in taking this in 2022 (good); 3m4f open point winner in March. |
|||
|PU| (10)  (33/1 +0%)Mitchouka |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) Mitchouka 33/1, Winning pointer (only fourth last time) but Rules form doesn't give him much hope of making a serious impact. Almost held on over 3m6f at High Easter in March (soft); 9l behind Pym last time out. |
|||
|PU| (15)  (100/1 -52%)Dreaming Diamond |
100/1(-52%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (15) Dreaming Diamond 100/1, Bumper winner earlier in her career but she's a maiden pointer who offered nothing on hunter debut at Stratford recently. Bumper winner in June 2022 (good); non-stayer in points and a hunter chase this spring. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (100/1 +0%)Ange Des Malberaux |
100/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Ange Des Malberaux 100/1, Nothing like the force of old at age 14, underlined by the fact he was last in a point when last seen a year ago. Hard to imagine he'll get involved. Multiple winner unseen since April 2023; remains to be seen what ability he retains at 14. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Law Of Gold has been victorious on each of his last two point-to-point starts and his mark of 134 gives him a big chance on his return to Rules. However, the vote goes to GABORIOT, who scored by six lengths over 3m1f at Catterick in March before unseating his rider in the Foxhunters at Aintree last month. Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero's eight-year-old should find this a lot easier and he is taken to return to winning ways. Coup De Pinceau is another to watch out for.
LAW OF GOLD sets the standard and has been in good order between the flags lately, so he should put up a strong bid to land back-to-back renewals of this. D'Jango and Gaboriot are both solid alternatives and Pym shouldn't be ruled out having mounted a revival in points lately.
Still on an upward trajectory, MASTER TEMPLAR is taken to deny Law Of Gold back-to-back successes in this marathon event.

1st (4)  (5/2 +17%)Rebel Dawn Rising |
5/2(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Rebel Dawn Rising 5/2, Multiple point scorer who is fairly useful under Rules and looked better than ever when landing a hunter at Fakenham in March, rallying to regain the lead late. Shaped better than the end result suggests in the Foxhunters'. Useful hunter chaser on his day and last month's Aintree defeat is excusable; shortlisted. |
|||
2nd (5)  (2/1 +53%)Cat Tiger |
2/1(+53%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Cat Tiger 2/1, Useful chaser at his best for Paul Nicholls but isn't the force of old. Unseated rider before halfway in the Foxhunters' but this is easier. Very useful hunter chaser in his prime but seemingly on the downgrade now. |
|||
3rd (12)  (9/2 +36%)Solomon Grey |
9/2(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (12) Solomon Grey 9/2, Fairly useful chaser who won this race a year ago but doesn't arrive in the same form this time round. Good third in this race in 2023 and returns here after very respectable recent effort. |
|||
|PU| (2)  (4/1 +20%)Espoir De Guye |
4/1(+20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Espoir De Guye 4/1, Useful chaser at his best and, returned to positive tactics, looked to retain all of that ability when scoring at Wincanton in February. Not disgraced when second at Ludlow before failing to take to the Aintree fences in the Foxhunters'. Since moved yards. Not very reliable but his Wincanton win in February makes him of strong interest here. |
|||
|PU| (14)  (9/1 +55%)The Composeur |
9/1(+55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (14) The Composeur 9/1, Little to shout about in 2022/23 for Jonjo O'Neill. Has won in points but unplaced when last seen in February. Easily won a conditions point in January but has a lot more on his plate here. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (33/1 +18%)Cooldine Bog |
33/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Cooldine Bog 33/1, Has struggled to make an impact in hunters for this yard. . Getting back on decent ground might aid his cause but he still makes only limited appeal. |
|||
|PU| (8)  (40/1 +39%)Game Of War |
40/1(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Game Of War 40/1, Fairly useful at best for Henry de Bromhead but hard to fancy on recent efforts, fit from points when pulled up at Wincanton. Changed yards. Talented in his heyday but it's a good while since he showed any worthwhile form. |
|||
|PU| (7)  (66/1 +34%)Dalahast |
66/1(+34%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Dalahast 66/1, Multiple chase winner in France but obviously not the force of old. Regressive 11yo; well beaten when fourth in pair of 2m4f Ludlow hunter chases this spring. |
|||
|PU| (11)  (150/1 -50%)Royal Act |
150/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Royal Act 150/1, Seemingly retains little ability. Struggled off lowly marks in handicaps last season, and again well beaten in recent point. |
|||
|PU| (13)  (200/1 -100%)Tekap |
200/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (13) Tekap 200/1, Looks limited on balance of his form. Struggled when 200-1 for Wincanton hunter chase won by Espoir De Guye in February. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
GO ON CHEZ returned from a 232-day break to record a smooth success over 3m at Ludlow and he should have no issues with this drop in distance. The son of Malinas could prove very hard to beat in his follow-up bid, with his main threat possibly being Espoir De Guye, who is more than capable at this level on his day and he could leave his poor effort at Aintree behind him. Rebel Dawn Rising and Cat Tiger are others to keep an eye on.
REBEL DAWN RISING was in there pitching for a long way in the Foxhunters' last month and eased in class, is fancied to regain the winning thread. Go On Chez made a winning hunter debut recently and is a huge player on these terms, with Cat Tiger another to consider.
Preference is for REBEL DAWN RISING, who ran well in defeat over a longer trip at this meeting last year and won at Fakenham in March.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
