Today, ChaseClass 33m1fGood Soft

KELCE enjoyed an excellent first season as a chaser and is fancied to continue his progression on reappearance. He gets the vote ahead of Smugglers Haven who is one the least exposed in this field and could progress again on just her fourth start over fences, while The Newest One merits respect racing off a 1 lb lower mark than when successful in this contest last year.

    Verdict
    Two-time winning pointer got off the mark under rules in a Downpatrick maiden on sole start in 2024. Seemingly hasn't been the easiest to train but ran creditably when third on reappearance/chase debut in August. Open to improvement upped in trip (with headgear retained) on handicap debut.

    Verdict
    Underwent wind surgery prior to notching a fourth success over fences in a 4-runner handicap chase at Haydock and took another step forward in defeat when runner-up to a subsequent winner at this track (28.1f) in April. One to consider (following another wind op) given his record when fresh.

    Verdict
    Productive 2024/25 season, scoring at Ludlow and Wetherby and remained in good heart thereafter, doing all he could faced with much quicker conditions when 5¼ lengths third to Regarde at Haydock in March. Easier ground and booking of Patrick Mullins are reasons for optimism on his return.

    Verdict
    Much improved switched to fences with cheekpieces applied, easily getting off the mark in a 3m handicap at Market Rasen (soft) in December and steadily improved thereafter, ending his season on a high with victory at Wetherby (24.2f). Unlikely we've seen the best of this progressive sort.

    Verdict
    Made a winning return in this race in 2024 but saw his form tail off, pulled-up in the Welsh and Edinburgh Nationals at Musselburgh and failed to justify support in a veterans chase at Doncaster on final start of the campaign. 1 lb lower than last year and likely to have been targeted at this race.

    Verdict

    Fair 3m winning hurdler who returned to form from out of the blue to win a Galway handicap chase last month and proved better than ever (badly hampered early) to follow up at Downpatrick (23.5f) 11 days later. This is tougher but bids for a hat-trick in the form of his life.

    Verdict
    Strong travelling mare enjoying another fruitful year, successful in back-to-back chases only a day apart in June (subsequently awarded the latter of those wins) and still in fine heart when runner-up at Uttoxeter/Worcester. Should be suited by a big-field handicap but can flatter to deceive.

    Eighth in this race last year but in better form to resume winning ways at Windsor (28.7f) in January and remained in good heart subsequently, not suited by the drop back in trip when third at Market Rasen (21.4f) in July. Will appreciate the step back up in distance and ought to be competitive.

    Verdict
    Out of form since the end of last year and didn't find a great deal for pressure on first start since wind surgery when third in a 3m chase at Uttoxeter last month. Now off the same mark as when completing a 4-timer in this race in 2023 and interesting to see if the market expects a return to form.

    Fairly useful winner hurdler and matched that form over fences when runner-up in a 2½m maiden chase at Kilbeggan last month. Tough ask in a much hotter Gowran maiden last time and could be seen to better effect over a longer trip on handicap chase debut for top yard.

    Course winner resumed winning ways in Southern National at Fontwell in November but lost his way towards the end of last season, turning in a lacklustre effort with cheekpieces back on (retained) at Plumpton in April. Needs to bounce back but has fallen to his last winning mark.

    Verdict
    Likeable sort displayed a willing attitude when adding to his tally over fences at Worcester in July and exploited a lower hurdles mark under an attacking ride at Warwick last month. Wasn't disgraced when sixth in an 8-runner chase at Chepstow latest but is probably summed up by his mark now.

    Multiple winning pointer failed to land a blow in a couple of maiden hurdles but took a sizeable step forward when landing a big-field hunter at this track (32.4f) in May. Wasn't disgraced when last of 4 on handicap debut at Newton Abbot next time but will need to improve to defy this sort of mark.

    33/1 winner in the Grimthorpe Handicap Chase at Doncaster in March. Back on track in a change of headgear (visor) at Cartmel in May (disqualified having lost weight cloth final circuit) and probably needed the run at Bangor last month. Visor refitted but remains to be seen if he's on a going day.

    Last successful in a 3m handicap chase on soft ground at Sandown in December 2023 but has lost his way, pulled-up on both starts earlier this year (reported to have made a respiratory noise latest). Remains to be seen if he can bounce back (in a first-time tongue tie) following wind surgery.
