Mr Hope Street
MR HOPE STREET looks well handicapped on the form of his Haydock third in November and can prove the point now tackling 3m+ for the first time over fences. Brave Fortune is another lightly-raced chaser who likely has more to offer and is second choice ahead of Leave of Absence. The shortlist is completed by Cruz Control, who bids for a third successive win in this.

Progressive over hurdles last term. Useful effort on second chase start when third to The Jukebox Man and Iroko in a Haydock graduation event in November and possibly needed it after 4 months off when fourth in 2½m Sandown novice handicap 5 weeks ago. Remains open to progress now back up in trip.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosSandown Park2m 4f 15ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase4/5Haydock Park2m 5f 127yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase3/5Carlisle2m 4f 198yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase6/12Cheltenham2m 7f 213yGoodHurdle3/9Newbury2m 4f 118yGood to SoftHurdle2/11- 2LookawayJ: Jack QuinlanE: Neil King13-3311Âge 94/14/17/2

Likeable front-runner who bagged a big pot at Kempton 7 weeks ago, staying on well tackling 3m for the first time. A 6 lb rise demands more again but he has a good history at this meeting, having won a Grade 2 bumper and finished third in Grade 1 novice hurdle.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosKempton Park3mGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase1/13Kempton Park2m 4f 110yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/5Newbury2m 92yGood to Soft (Soft In Places)Chase3/6Uttoxeter2m 3f 207yGoodHurdle3/10Cheltenham1m 7f 199yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase3/8- 11Brave FortuneJ: J.

A useful winning hurdler who signed off for Pat Doyle with a stylish victory in 25f Roscommon maiden chase last June. Made a promising start to his handicap career for new yard when second of 14 at Thurles (21f, good to soft) in January. Will be suited by the step back up in trip.

Hasn't always been a strong finisher but has won 3 times at up to 20.5f at Kempton in the last 14 months. Another good run there (20.5f again) when 5 lengths third on latest outing 7 weeks ago.
