1st (4)  (9/1 +18%)Learntalot |
9/1(+18%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Learntalot 9/1, Fair maiden hurdler for Olly Murphy, third in handicap company when last seen under Rules in March 2023. Winning pointer for new connections, runner-up in April ahead of this hunter debut. Well beaten by Jay Bee Whiskey three starts back. |
|||
2nd (6)  (4/1 +33%)Padjoes Legacy |
4/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Padjoes Legacy 4/1, Multiple-point winner who seemed to excel himself when third of 9 in cheekpieces on hunter debut at Cheltenham 4 weeks ago. Did look quite hard work so drop in trip may not be ideal. Responded well for pressure to make the frame at Cheltenham four weeks ago. |
|||
3rd (8)  (8/1 +6%)Well P |
8/1(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Well P 8/1, Limited impact in Irish bumpers earlier in his career but arrives in good heart, winning last 2 points. Has four unseats to his name in points and was beaten by Padjoes Legacy this March. |
|||
4th (5)  (12/1 -71%)Mount Pleasant |
12/1(-71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Mount Pleasant 12/1, Limited impact in a trio of Rules starts for Nicky Henderson, latest of them in May 2022. Enjoyed plenty of success in points, winning last 2 starts. The horse he beat in the latest point 12 days ago isn't up to much. |
|||
5th (7)  (15/8 +53%)Red Nika |
15/8(+53%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Red Nika 15/8, Wasn't far off the pick of his Rules form when fourth of 11 to Castle Daragh on hunter debut last month. 3 lb better off with that rival and he can make his presence felt. Wasn't beaten far behind Castle Daragh at Chepstow last month; tongue-tie added. |
|||
6th (3)  (6/1 -20%)Jay Bee Whiskey |
6/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Jay Bee Whiskey 6/1, Dam unraced half-sister to fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser (stayed 2½m) Great Oak. Multiple point winner, runner-up in pursuit of 6-timer last time (Apr 1). Fascinating Rules debutant. A line through his latest conqueror gives him something to find with Castle Daragh. |
|||
7th (2)  (22/1 -38%)Caballo Diablo |
22/1(-38%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Caballo Diablo 22/1, Has won between the flags but offered precious little starting out in this sphere when fifth of 6 at Fakenham in May 2023. Pulled up in a recent point. Won his penulimate point but pulled up in the latest and that was only last week. |
|||
|PU| (1)  (15/2 -150%)Castle Daragh |
15/2(-150%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Castle Daragh 15/2, Winning pointer who sprung a surprise when making a successful hunter debut at Chepstow last month, staying on well. Jumped well on that occasion so has to command serious respect, even under 3 lb penalty. Recent Chepstow winner and that form gives him strong claims in today's company. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
CASTLE DARAGH prevailed by a neck in a fight to the line at Chepstow on his first start over regulation fences. David Pipe's charge is fancied to confirm superiority with fourth-placed Red Nika, despite the worse terms, and go in again. The latter looks a threat, as does recent Cheltenham third Padjoes Legacy, while Mount Pleasant and Jay Bee Whiskey have been in good form between the flags.
JAY BEE WHISKEY clearly possesses his share of ability in points, racking up a 5-timer, and providing his jumping holds up tackling regulation fences for the first time, he could be the answer. Castle Daragh and Red Nika finished first and fourth respectively at Chepstow recently and both command respect.
David Pipe's CASTLE DARAGH had Red Nika behind when winning at Chepstow and a repeat of that could suffice.

1st (1)  (7/4 -207%)Famous Clermont |
7/4(-207%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Famous Clermont 7/4, Useful chaser who shaped vastly better than the bare result when seventh in Champion Hunters Chase at Punchestown 4 weeks ago, receiving an overly-positive ride that saw him endure an extremely hard race. Sets a clear standard but chance he finds this coming soon enough. Has the form to win this comfortably provided it doesn't turn into a mudbath. |
|||
2nd (4)  (7/1 +72%)Imperial Esprit |
7/1(+72%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Imperial Esprit 7/1, Successful on first of 2 starts in handicap chases for Harry Fry in 2021/22 and creditable fourth in hunter at Kempton on belated return to Rules last month. Has it all to do on these terms, however. Limitations were exposed in his previous hunter chase at Kempton. |
|||
3rd (2)  (15/8 +25%)Shantou Flyer |
15/8(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Shantou Flyer 15/8, Admirable veteran who won this last year and far from disgraced when sixth in the Festival Challenge Cup Hunters' Chase at the Cheltenham Festival. Prolific point winner, including last 2 starts (latest May 15), and could be worth chancing. He won this 12 months ago and defends on the back of two point wins. |
|||
4th (3)  (7/2 +71%)Captain Biggles |
7/2(+71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Captain Biggles 7/2, Won a novice hunter over C&D last summer and shaped much better than being pulled up suggests on return to Rules at Haydock in February, briefly looking like he was going to play a hand in the finish before floundering returned to very testing conditions. Multiple point winner, runner-up last time. Won on this card 12 months ago but wouldn't appear to be returning in same form. |
|||
|PU| (5)  (25/1 -79%)Shang Tang |
25/1(-79%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Shang Tang 25/1, Fairly useful chaser who produced his best effort since joining this yard when second in a 5-runner affair at Ludlow (23.8f, soft) in February. Disappointed next 2 starts, however, and unplaced in a point last time. He's relying on the market principals being well off their games to win this. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Olive Nicholls teamed up with SHANTOU FLYER to win last year's renewal by a wide margin and another bold bid looks on the cards. Famous Clermont has every chance at the weights if putting a below-par effort at Punchestown behind him and should give the selection plenty to think about, while Gina Andrews has partnered two of the last three winners of this and her mount Captain Biggles could be in the mix too.
Famous Clermont is the clear pick on form but he endured an extremely hard race at Punchestown last month so is taken on with last year's winner SHANTOU FLYER.
Unless conditions take a significant turn for the worse then FAMOUS CLERMONT should outclass these.

1st (1)  (9/2 -13%)Forest Chimes |
9/2(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Forest Chimes 9/2, Mahler gelding who opened his account at the first attempt in hunters over 21f here in March, clear briefly run-in and always holding on. Enhanced his good record in points since and he's respected for good yard. Course winner; unproven at the trip but fair chance if he does get home. |
|||
2nd (3)  (4/5 +33%)Iskandar Pecos |
4/5(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Iskandar Pecos 4/5, Multiple point winner who didn't need to be at his best when taking his record to 3-4 in hunters at Cheltenham (26f, heavy) 4 weeks ago, leading home turn and driven clear. This further increase in trip will hold no fears and he's shortlisted. Won at Cheltenham (3m2f) despite not being at his best and hard to beat here. |
|||
3rd (2)  (7/1 +13%)Go Go Geronimo |
7/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Go Go Geronimo 7/1, Multiple point winner who posted fairly useful form in pair of hunters for G. T. Bailey in early 2022. Pulled up in class 2 hunter at Cheltenham for present stable last spring but in good heart in points off late, successful on latest outing (May.12). Worth a look. Runner-up two years ago; won his latest point and should give a good account of himself. |
|||
4th (5)  (11/2 -65%)Master Templar |
11/2(-65%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Master Templar 11/2, Fair maiden hurdler who has built up an excellent record in points and made a good fist of his first start in this discipline when second of 10 at Cheltenham (32.4f) 4 weeks ago. Drop back in trip on this sharper track won't inconvenience him on that evidence. Chased home an improver at Cheltenham (4m); assured stamina could be useful. |
|||
5th (4)  (125/1 -279%)King Orry |
125/1(-279%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) King Orry 125/1, Little impact from lowly marks over hurdles/fences earlier in career. Winless in points subsequently and whilst he seemed to excel himself when third on his hunter debut at Newton Abbot recently, he faces a very stiff task on these terms. Has more on his plate than when third at Newton Abbot recently (3m2f, good). |
|||
|PU| (6)  (11/1 +8%)Dul Ar Aghaidh |
11/1(+8%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Dul Ar Aghaidh 11/1, Winning pointer. Pulled up on Limerick hunter debut over Christmas but much better when second at Cork (3m, heavy) in April. However, he'll need to step up again on first outing for new connections. Good second at Cork latest but likely to need more if she's to beat the best of these. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
Forest Chimes struck over these fences in March and should make his presence felt again, but the less exposed ISKANDAR PECOS is preferred. The six-year-old has now won three of his four starts over regulation fences having scored nicely at Cheltenham last time and may not have finished improving yet. Master Templar finished runner-up at the same Cheltenham meeting and can give another good account.
ISKANDAR PECOS didn't need to be at his best when enhancing his good record in hunters at Cheltenham 4 weeks ago, the muddling nature of the race not playing to his strengths. Unexposed at this sort of trip, he looks to hold sound claims once more. Forest Chimes and Master Templar can provide the chief threats.
The progressive ISKANDAR PECOS got the job done at Cheltenham last time despite being below par. Master Templar is next best.

1st (8)  (12/1 -50%)What A Glance |
12/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) What A Glance 12/1, Held form well in points and has made a solid return to this sphere, finishing third here before scoring comfortably at Cheltenham last time. Not dismissed for all that others have achieved more. Career-best form when beating a next-time-out winner by 11l at Cheltenham this month. |
|||
2nd (6)  (14/1 +36%)Lift Me Up |
14/1(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Lift Me Up 14/1, Multiple point winner who returned to this sphere with a solid showing when third at Cheltenham a month ago. Has something to find if he's to land this, though. Ran well when third behind two of these at Cheltenham this month but more is needed here. |
|||
3rd (3)  (9/4 +10%)Fairly Famous |
9/4(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Fairly Famous 9/4, Prolific in points and produced his best effort in this sphere when readily accounting for Premier Magic at Cheltenham last time. That is the best piece of recent form on show and he's taken to follow up. Drew clear of Premier Magic on run-in at Cheltenham this month; major player. |
|||
4th (4)  (3/1 +57%)Go On Chez |
3/1(+57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Go On Chez 3/1, Has shown the odd sign of temperament but he's useful and is now two from two in hunters, again having plenty in hand at Kelso last time. Looks a big player. Dual hunter chase winner this spring; might still be on the upgrade; must be considered. |
|||
5th (5)  (12/1 -33%)Law Of Gold |
12/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Law Of Gold 12/1, Pulled up in this last year and, having won a couple of points, it was a similar story at Cheltenham on return to Rules. Has a bit to prove now. Won this in 2021 and was second in it a year later; no surprise if he features. |
|||
6th (1)  (4/1 -45%)Annamix |
4/1(-45%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Annamix 4/1, Not the most reliable jumper but scored at Gowran prior to an excellent third in the Foxhunters' at Aintree last time. Definite claims in this slightly lesser contest. Creditable third in last month's Aintree Foxhunters'; strong claims if today's trip suits. |
|||
7th (7)  (9/1 -80%)Premier Magic |
9/1(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Premier Magic 9/1, Likeable type who belied huge odds to win Festival Challenge Cup Hunters' Chase at the Cheltenham Festival sole start in 2022/23. Right back to form when runner-up to Fairly Famous there last time and should get closer to that rival. 2023 Cheltenham Festival hero; ran well in defeat behind Fairly Famous this month. |
|||
|PU| (2)  (18/1 -50%)D'jango |
18/1(-50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) D'jango 18/1, 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. Twice in the frame at Cheltenham this year (3m2f/4m); each-way claims at least. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
ANNAMIX hit the frame in the Randox Foxhunters' at Aintree last month and he sets the standard in this contest with a rating of 139. Willie Mullins' veteran tries this trip for the first time, but he can cope with it to record his seventh career victory. The main danger might be Go On Chez, who is seeking the hat-trick after scoring in easy fashion at Kelso to supplement a Ludlow triumph. Premier Magic is another to consider after his second at Cheltenham.
FAIRLY FAMOUS was impressive when comfortably getting the better of Premier Magic at Cheltenham last time and he's probably up to going in again at the possible expense of Go On Chez, who is yet to taste defeat in this sphere. Annamix is another obvious player.
Preference is for the upward trajectory of FAIRLY FAMOUS, who was too good for Premier Magic at Cheltenham four weeks ago.

1st (3)  (9/2 +10%)Envious Editor |
9/2(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Envious Editor 9/2, Did well in hunters last year and warmed up for this with a point win a couple of weeks ago. Won a point on recent stable debut and looks favoured by the weights here. |
|||
2nd (1)  (10/3 +5%)Rebel Dawn Rising |
10/3(+5%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Rebel Dawn Rising 10/3, Multiple point scorer who is also pretty useful under Rules, winning hunters at Fakenham (3m) and Cheltenham (20.5f) this spring. Has to give a lot of weight away to most of these rivals but still respected. Looked as good as ever when battling on gamely to win at Cheltenham this month; a player. |
|||
3rd (7)  (11/2 +54%)Drakes Well |
11/2(+54%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Drakes Well 11/2, C&D winner in 2022. Fell 3 out in hunter at Leicester on return from long absence in March but has shown he retains his ability with a point win since. Rallied to win minor point this month but others have more compelling recent form. |
|||
4th (2)  (10/1 -33%)Stratagem |
10/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Stratagem 10/1, Useful sort who made all in 3m Southwell hunter in May 2022. Hasn't proved he retains that ability when fourth in 2 comeback runs over 3m this spring but his stamina was stretched on deep gound at Hexham last time. The drop back in trip looks a good move. Well handicapped on old form but has struggled on both outings this year; headgear on. |
|||
5th (6)  (6/1 -71%)Sixteen Letters |
6/1(-71%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Sixteen Letters 6/1, Saw off Peacocks Secret by 2 lengths to win this race last year. Been in decent form in points this spring (won again 13 days ago). Should make a bold bid to defend his crown. Won this off 3lb lower in 2023 and has collected three small-field points this year. |
|||
6th (4)  (7/2 +50%)Solomon Grey |
7/2(+50%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Solomon Grey 7/2, Creditable 12 lengths third of 10 to Rebel Dawn Rising in hunter chase at Cheltenham (20.5f, heavy, 9/2) 28 days ago. Enjoys a 9 lb swing in the weights so it should be closer between them this time. No longer the force of old but recent hunter chase thirds suggest he won't be far away. |
|||
7th (8)  (16/1 -33%)Back Bar |
16/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Back Bar 16/1, Second in a hunter at Fontwell early last year. Has won 3 times between the flags since, including latest start 16 days ago. Rarely seen under rules in recent years but led close home to win open point this month. |
|||
8th (5)  (16/1 -191%)Peacocks Secret |
16/1(-191%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Peacocks Secret 16/1, Course winner. 15/2, creditable 2 lengths second of 5 to reopposing Sixteen Letters in this race last year. Fit from points. Should go well again. Second to Sixteen Letters in this race a year ago and is 2lb lower today. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
REBEL DAWN RISING got up by a length at Cheltenham earlier in the month and that was a highly encouraging effort to make it two wins out of his last three starts. The 10-year-old can continue his fine form to go in again, with his main threat possibly Envious Editor, who was victorious in a point-to-point recently and should go well. Solomon Grey and Sixteen Letters are just two others to consider.
SIXTEEN LETTERS arrives on the back of a recent point success and is taken to land back-to-back wins in this race, possibly at the main expense of last year's runner-up Peacocks Secret. Rebel Dawn has 2 recent wins in his hunters and is also respected despite having to concede weight to the majority.
The most interesting one is ENVIOUS EDITOR, who won a point on his recent stable debut and has slipped to an attractive handicap mark.

(10)  (20/1 +0%)The Golden Rebel |
20/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (10) The Golden Rebel 20/1, Fairly useful but inconsistent for Ben Case and, while he's tasted success between the flags since, he ran poorly in that sphere last time. Useful in his prime but was tailed off in a point on last month's stable debut. |
|||
1st (2)  (17/2 -55%)Kaproyale |
17/2(-55%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Kaproyale 17/2, Dual winner in hunters last season but, despite being fit from points, disappointed when only fifth at Kempton on return. Too soon to write off. Won this in 2023; flopped when odds-on at Kempton last month but a player if back on song. |
|||
2nd (5)  (7/2 -17%)Cat Tiger |
7/2(-17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Cat Tiger 7/2, Useful chaser at his best for Paul Nicholls and, while not the force of old, his latest second at Cheltenham was a positive step. Excellent claims if he can build on that. Very useful hunter chaser at his best; comes here after good Cheltenham second this month. |
|||
3rd (7)  (22/1 -10%)Mix Of Clover |
22/1(-10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Mix Of Clover 22/1, Modest form for Alastair Ralph in 2023 and mixed bag between the flags this year. Ran quite well when third in open point this month; not ruled out each-way. |
|||
4th (11)  (17/2 +29%)Missed Tee |
17/2(+29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Missed Tee 17/2, Fair hurdles for Dan Skelton and stepped up on her opening run in hunters when third at Ludlow in March. Not quite in the same form at Cheltenham next time but she's a player if avoiding errors. Third in two hunter chases this spring but does not help himself by racing too freely. |
|||
5th (1)  (3/1 -9%)Cap Du Mathan |
3/1(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Cap Du Mathan 3/1, Useful chaser who lost his way in handicaps prior to completing a relatively simple task in a 7-runner event at Leicester on hunter debut in March. Not disgraced in the Foxhunters' at Aintree next time and definite claims back in calmer waters. Easy winner on hunter chase debut in March and ran well for a long way at Aintree in April. |
|||
6th (3)  (15/8 +6%)Fier Jaguen |
15/8(+6%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Fier Jaguen 15/8, Well capable in this sort of company and returned to form when respectable second of 8 in hunter chase (evens) at Cheltenham (16.3f, heavy) 28 days ago. Should go well. Ran big race in defeat at Cheltenham this month; tendency to jump right remains a concern. |
|||
7th (8)  (40/1 +0%)Olly Norse |
40/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Olly Norse 40/1, Point winner who didn't offer much in a hunter at Cheltenham last time and may struggle once more. Dual point winner; well beaten over 3m2f on hunter chase debut; steep drop in trip today. |
|||
8th (4)  (33/1 +18%)Calidad |
33/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Calidad 33/1, Winning pointer who was third last time but his Rules form doesn't inspire much confidence. Pulled up in a restricted point last month and looks up against it here. |
|||
9th (9)  (100/1 -100%)Rewritetherules |
100/1(-100%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Rewritetherules 100/1, Multiple point winner but rarely shows his form in hunters. Third in this race last year but pulled up on all four outings this year. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (100/1 -257%)Cooldine Bog |
100/1(-257%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Cooldine Bog 100/1, Has struggled to make an impact in hunters for this yard. Fairly useful hurdler/chaser in his prime but this year's hunter chase form is uninspiring. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
FIER JAGUEN was just touched off by a head at Cheltenham last time and that is arguably the best recent form in this contest. Bradley Gibbs' nine-year-old looks well placed to go one better, although Cat Tiger also filled the runner-up spot at Cheltenham earlier in the month, over an extended 2m4f, and he has to be feared. Cap Du Mathan isn't out of it either.
CAP DU MATHAN was an easy winner on hunter debut before seeming stretched by the trip in a much more competitive environment at Aintree last time, so he's worth chance to resume winning ways with a lot more in his favour this time. Cat Tiger and Fier Jaguen look the main dangers.
The finale can go to CAP DU MATHAN (nap), who looked revitalised when winning on his hunter chase debut in March.
