Today, ChaseClass 52m7f

Only three of these are appealing based on recent exploits, namely SHOT BOII, Staff Sergeant Len and Walkinthewoods. Ready preference is for the first-named, who took a step back in the right direction when runner-up off this mark at Wincanton last month.

    Drawn a blank since Hereford win 2 years ago but last month's Wincanton second to Lightonthewing shows he can be competitive from this reduced mark. Major player.

    Verdict
    Irish point winner who showed ability over hurdles and chase debut fifth of 13 at Southwell (24.3f, good) in April 2024 was encouraging. Sent off favourite on the back of that at Stratford the following month but failed to take a step forward and has been absent since. Stable debut.

    Verdict
    Not the easiest of rides (maiden) but posted a good third of 14 in handicap hurdle at Wincanton in November. Has the size for chasing and would've been placed had he not unseated at the last switched to fences there (20.2f, good to soft) on Boxing Day. Will be a threat if he stays on all fours here.

    Verdict
    Dual hurdles winner who got off the mark over fences at Plumpton last spring, albeit in a weak 3-runner affair. Sharper for a comeback run at Hereford when creditable second of 7 over a similar trip in a handicap hurdle last month and should make his presence felt back in this sphere.

    Verdict
    Was still bang there when falling 2 out in handicap chase at Wincanton (25f, soft) on penultimate start. However, he's none too consistent and it was therefore no great surprise that he failed to back that up at Taunton next time.

    Runner-up on first 2 starts last season but that campaign ended with a series of non-completions. Again pulled up on return at Warwick and now finds himself with a fair bit to prove.
