CAUGHTINYOURTRANCE has been firmly knocking on the door of late and Jimmy Moffatt's 7-y-o is fancied to go one better than on both previous outings here last month reunited with Brian Hughes. Stratagem was an impressive winner at this track last month and he looks the selection's biggest danger, with Tiger Orchid also considered back chasing having snapped a lengthy losing sequence at Uttoxeter recently.

Dual winning hurdler who has made a positive start to his chasing career, making it 2 runner-up finishes from as many starts here last month, his recent conqueror going in again since to remain unbeaten over fences. Heads back up in distance and worth siding with reunited with Hughes.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCartmel2m 5f 34yGoodChase2/3Cartmel3m 1f 107yGoodChase2/8Ayr3m 20yHeavy (Soft in places)Chasepu/11Uttoxeter2m 4fGood to SoftChase3/7Newcastle2m 7f 91yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase2/4- 7Le Grand VertJ: Mr O.

Scored at Ayr in February and well suited by the emphasis on stamina late on as he posted as good an effort as he has since leaving France as a 6-y-o when landing 16-runner event at Punchestown (25f, good) just under 3 weeks ago. 10 lb higher here but respected nonetheless.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosPunchestown3m 157yGood to YieldingChase1/16Sligo3m 1f 172yGood (Good to Yielding in places)Hurdle4/12Down Royal3m 2f 50yGood (Good to Yielding in places)Chasepu/15Sedgefield3m 2f 59yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase4/6Ayr3m 20ySoftChase1/11- 3StratagemJ: Mr James MurrayT: Mickey BowenP314-31Age 107/27/210/3

Seemed to lose the plot for his previous yard but back firing again of late, scoring at Sedgefield in April and doubled his tally for current connections in 5-runner veterans' event at this course (29f, good) last month. 8 lb rise to contend with but would be folly to dismiss.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCartmel3m 5f 80yGoodChase1/5Cartmel3m 1f 107yGoodChase3/8Perth3m 6f 121yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase4/11Sedgefield3m 2f 59yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/5Doncaster2m 7f 214yGood to SoftChase3/9- 4Tiger OrchidJ: Charlie HammondT: Stuart Edmunds4222-31Age 114/14/19/2

Veteran who gained due reward for his consistency since joining the yard as he ended a long losing run in 7-runner handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (23f, good to soft) just over 3 weeks ago, leading approaching last.

Thorough stayer who won this race as final leg of 5-timer in 2025. Would have benefited more testing conditions given the way he shaped when 10 lengths third of 5 to Stratagem at this course (29f, good) last month so others preferred with that in mind.

Rediscovered his shooting boots in second half of 2024/25, completing the hat-trick in a Class 2 handicap at Carlisle (3m). However, he's refused to race twice following a 13-month absence recently and is one to avoid.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosPerth2m 7f 180yGood to SoftChaserr/6Kelso2m 7f 96yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chaserr/6Carlisle3m 110yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/14Carlisle3m 110yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/9Musselburgh2m 7f 138yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase1/6- Non-Runners

Yet another good advert for James Owen, landing the Durham National back in this sphere at Sedgefield (29.2f) in October. A handful of creditable efforts since but looked rusty after 3 months off when down the field at Stratford (3½m, good) last month. Should strip fitter here.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosStratford-on-avon3m 3f 119yGood to Firm (Good in places)Chase4/5Sedgefield3m 3f 9ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle4/7Lingfield Park3m 4f 178ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase6/14Market Rasen3m 3f 123yGood to SoftChase2/9Fontwell Park3m 3f 149yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase4/11
