C P Civil Engineering Handicap Chase

Landed a 2m4f mares' handicap chase at Ludlow last season. Rather in and out since, 15½ lengths fourth of 13 to Henry Box Brown in handicap chase at Worcester (20f, good, 11/4) 47 days ago.

Good runner-up efforts in the space of 24 hrs at Perth last month, clear of rest both times. Needs considering.

Still winless but he has shaped well since joining his current yard, again going close at Worcester last month. Well in the mix.

Two wins from 6 runs last season but has struggled since his return and took a heavy first-fence fall at Worcester 54 days ago.

Little impact over hurdles for this yard and plenty to prove now chasing.

Has returned to chasing this season and gained a first success over fences when staying on to lead close home in a Worcester handicap (20f, good) in August under this rider, suited by a strongly-run race. Could still have more to offer, but he'll need things to drop right again.

Modest hurdler who disappointed last time. Back chasing now having been amiss on sole start over fences (irregular heartbeat) this summer. Headgear on.

Couldn't kick on over fences/hurdles during a light 2023/24 campaign but firmly back on track when making a winning return in handicap chase at Chepstow (23.6f) on Friday under this rider. Able to race off 5 lb lower here so obvious claims if this doesn't come too soon.

Opened his chase account at Southwell (24.3f, heavy) in February and some good placed efforts since, including when second of 14 in handicap chase at Newton Abbot (25.8f, good) 53 days ago. Should be thereabouts once more.

Remains a maiden and low-key start for this yard. Others preferred.
