Ostend
An open-looking feature contest in which it could pay to take a chance on OSTEND, who is potentially well treated on old form and has been snapped up cheaply by the in-form Mickey Bowen yard since last seen. Genois ran too badly to be true at Aintree 5 weeks ago so he can give the selection most to think about, with last-time-out winner Gateau de Miel rounding off the shortlist.

A dual winner (at up to 2m 4f) in 2024/25 and went with more zest in a race with no competition for the lead after 5 months off when second of 6 at Uttoxeter (3m, good) 7 weeks ago. Stable form a worry (had just one winner at a strike rate of only 5% so far this season).DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosUttoxeter3m 10yGoodChase2/6Newbury2m 6f 93yGood to SoftChasepu/12Ascot2m 7f 185yGoodChasepu/12Market Rasen2m 5f 89yGoodChase3/15Uttoxeter2m 4fGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase6/8- 7OstendJ: Shane FenelonE: Mickey Bowen1P/334-Âge 811/411/43/1

Maiden hurdle winner in Ireland who capitalised on a falling mark and the run of the race when opening his account over fences at this track last spring. Lost his way for Alistair Ralph but potentially thrown in on old form for an in-form yard (bought for just £4,000).DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosChepstow2m 16yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase4/6Bangor-on-dee2m 4f 72ySoft (Heavy in places)Chase3/4Southwell1m 7f 182yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase3/7Perth2m 4f 20yGood to SoftChasepu/9Market Rasen2m 3f 34yGoodChase1/4- 1Mahons GloryJ: Lee EdwardsE: Dylan Cunha452164-Âge 109/29/24/1

Capitalised on drop in grade when making all at Huntingdon in March and shaped better than the distance beaten suggested when sixth of 27 in the Topham Chase at Aintree next start. Not so good at Sandown last time but not dismissed having been runner-up on both previous visits here.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosSandown Park2m 6f 164yGood (Good to Firm in places)Chase4/5Aintree2m 5f 19yGood to SoftChase6/27Huntingdon2m 3f 189yGood to SoftChase1/6Market Rasen2m 5f 89ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase2/8Aintree3m 1f 188ySoftChase5/13- 5Seaview RockJ: Robert DunneE: Charles & Adam Pogson218-23Âge 66/16/113/2

Confirmed debut promise when winning maiden hurdle at Leicester in January. Seemingly outbattled on chase bow at Southwell on final start for Olly Murphy (sold for £30,000) and not seen to best effect back there earlier in the month.

Had made a successful start for a new yard at Stratford the previous June and repeated the trick from the same mark almost 12 months on in 5-runner handicap chase there (21f, good) just under 3 weeks ago. That form has already taken several knocks, so he's got his work cut out from 7 lb higher.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosStratford-on-avon2m 4f 205yGood to Firm (Good in places)Chase1/5Exeter3m 54yGood (Good to Firm in places)Chase4/7Exeter3m 54yGood to SoftChasepu/12Wincanton2m 4f 35yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase2/6Worcester2m 7fGoodChase7/10- 3GenoisJ: Harry CobdenE: Jonjo & A.J.

Cashed in on a much-reduced mark at Wetherby in December and in excellent heart since, a veterans' chase win at Exeter in March flanked by runner-up efforts. Easy to back and run of good form halted at Aintree (2½m, good) 5 weeks ago but can quickly get back on track.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosAintree2m 3f 200yGoodChasepu/9Haydock Park2m 3f 203yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase2/17Exeter2m 3f 48yGood to SoftChase1/9Wetherby2m 3f 85ySoftChase2/9Wetherby2m 3f 85ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/9- 4Bleu D'enferJ: Theo GillardE: Donald McCain74829-2Âge 812/112/111/1

Signed off for Stuart Crawford with breakthrough chase win at Carlisle last spring. Record for this yard since has been patchy, avoiding mistakes for once and running well under more patient tactics than of late when second of 9 at Aintree (2½m, good) 5 weeks ago. Needs to build on that.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosAintree2m 3f 200yGoodChase2/9Haydock Park2m 3f 203yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase9/11Bangor-on-dee2m 4f 72yGood (Good to Soft in Places)Chase2/9Kelso2m 1f 14yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase8/8Musselburgh2m 4f 68yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase4/8
