A fairly useful hurdler/chaser in Ireland for Paul Nolan but yet to fire in 4 runs for current yard. Has been given a big chance by the handicapper and potentially interesting here with Harry Skelton back on board (also refitted with tongue strap).DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosWincanton2m 4f 35yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase5/5Warwick2m 4fSoftChase4/5Ludlow2m 4f 11ySoftChase6/7Haydock Park2m 67yGood to SoftChase9/10Wexford2m 3f 130yGood to Yielding (Yielding in places)Chase6/10- 10Rule Me InJ: Jack TudorE: Christian Williams-843544Âge 77/211/43/1

Fair winner at 2m over hurdles but is yet to really threaten over the larger obstacles, well-beaten fourth of 5 at Chepstow 16 days ago.

Fair winner over hurdles in France who only narrowly failed to open his account on these shores in small-field handicap chase over this trip at Carlisle 23 days ago.

Winless since scoring at Kelso back in October 2023 and often flatters to deceive, although rarely finishes out of the frame and is likely to be in the mix again with Sean Bowen up for the first time.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosDoncaster2m 4f 115ySoftChase3/5Ayr3m 20ySoft (Heavy in places)Chase3/10Carlisle2m 3f 210yGoodChase2/7Perth3m 6f 121yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase2/12Carlisle3m 110yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase2/14- 6NativehillJ: Jonathan BurkeE: Fergal O'Brien21P-Âge 89/115/28/1

Out of his depth in last year's Albert Bartlett but had taken Huntingdon maiden hurdle on second start for Nicky Henderson previously and is worth monitoring in market on chase debut for new connections here.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosCheltenham2m 7f 213yGood to SoftHurdlepu/20Huntingdon2m 4f 145yGood to Soft (Good in Places)Hurdle1/6Newbury2m 4f 118ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle2/8- 3AnyharminaskingJ: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.E: Jonjo & A.J.

Not the most reliable and ran poorly over hurdles at Stratford 22 days ago. Usual cheekpieces (removed for that run) are reapplied back chasing and still relatively lightly raced in this sphere.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosStratford-on-avon2m 70ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle7/11Haydock Park2m 3f 203ySoftChase6/11Warwick2m 4fGood (Good to Firm in places)Chase2/2Cartmel2m 1f 61ySoft (Heavy in places)Chasepu/7Uttoxeter1m 7f 214yGood (Good to Firm in places)Chase2/4- 5The Good DoctorJ: Ben JonesE: Ben Pauling2P4-345Âge 712/110/111/1

Signed off for Stuart Crawford with breakthrough chase win at Carlisle last spring and back to that sort of form for current yard when fourth of 8 (from 7 lb out of the handicap) at Musselburgh in January.

In fine form for Dan Skelton last spring, winning 2m handicap chases at Chepstow and Worcester. Positive start for this yard when going close at Uttoxeter (2½m) in December but pulled up twice since.
