Coretrax Novices' Chase

Bumper/hurdles winner who showed some useful form over fences and has taken well to chasing showing progression on each start and winning on his first try in a handicap over fences at Ayr (2m) last time out off a mark of 127 (now rated 130) and reverts to novice company here. That was on his first start for this yard (previously with Stuart Crawford) and appeared to appreciate having the tongue tie back on. Travels well and won his bumper here although faces a tough task here if the official ratings are to be believed giving weight all round.

0/9 over fences and 0/26 overall and has a stiff task here having looked below form of late. Well backed in a handicap here last time out over 2m4f he really didn't show that much and has a very stiff task at the weights here.

Makes his chasing debut having shown some useful form over hurdles and a winner here in that sphere and finished fourth in the Scottish Champion Hurdle at Ayr off a mark of 135. Pulled-up over hurdles last time when jumping poorly and now back in a cheekpieces and tongue tie combination that he was last successful in one the AW at Wolverhampton, Capable sort and interesting to see how he goes on chasing debut and stable are 3/7 here.

Still a maiden over fences (0/7) but a useful one nonetheless who won on the AW last time at Dundalk over 2m. Has had some stiff tasks over fences though (all runs bar one have been in Listed/Graded company) and has had to start out in handicaps off a very stiff mark (128) and probably better off in this getting weight off her two main rivals.

Poor maiden hurdler who it's fair to say is fairly limited and only rated 77 in that sphere and that gives her a very tough task here on chasing debut.
