Leave Of Absence
LEAVE OF ABSENCE picked up where he left off when doubling his chase tally over C&D 3 weeks ago and he looks capable of conceding 3 lb all round. Double Powerful and Wade Out made positive starts to their chase career recently and both should improve for this trip, so are feared most.

Three novice hurdle wins last season and this point winner immediately improved for the switch to chasing when landing 5-runner maiden at Worcester 3 weeks ago (20f) holding on gamely. Way he shapes suggests this trip will be within range and he can do better.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWorcester2m 4fGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/5Aintree2m 4fGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle6/20Wetherby2m 3f 154ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle1/5Cheltenham2m 4f 56ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle7/7Lingfield Park2mSoftHurdle1/3- 1Leave Of AbsenceJ: Rex DingleT: Anthony Honeyball221-1Age 89/49/42/1

Hasn't stood much racing but has looked talented when he has made the track, finishing second in Grade 2 Reynoldstown before bagging a 3m Newbury handicap in March. Picked up where he left off when successful in a C&D novice 3 weeks ago and that just about sets the standard.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCheltenham3m 1fGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/7Newbury2m 7f 86yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase1/7Ascot2m 7f 180yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase2/4Kempton Park2m 2fGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase2/4Ascot1m 7f 152yGood (Good to Soft in Places)Hurdle1/10- 2Double PowerfulJ: Conor O'FarrellT: Neil Mulholland11233-3Age 67/29/24/1

Made great strides over hurdles last term, winning first 4 starts of that campaign prior to a series of fine efforts in defeat, culminating in a third-placed finish in a valuable Aintree handicap (24.7f). Matched that form when third on chase debut here (20.2f) and he's capable of better up in trip.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCheltenham2m 4f 44yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase3/14Aintree3m 149yGoodHurdle3/17Kempton Park2m 5fGoodHurdle3/10Ascot2m 5f 141yGood to SoftHurdle2/13Cheltenham2m 5fGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle1/16- 4One Big BangJ: Alex ChadwickT: James Owen24615-3Age 711/29/25/1

Useful 3m hurdle winner who was last seen finishing a good third of 23 in a 3m listed handicap at the Punchestown Festival in May. A point background provides hope that he'll take to fences for his excellent yard.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosPunchestown2m 7f 110yYieldingHurdle3/23Cheltenham2m 7f 213yGood to SoftHurdle5/24Haydock Park3m 58yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle1/13Ffos Las2m 7f 191ySoft (Heavy in places)Hurdle6/9Cheltenham2m 7f 213ySoftHurdle4/9- 3Isaac Des ObeauxJ: Harry CobdenT: Paul Nicholls3/5P33-Age 712/116/114/1

Back-to-back hurdles winner last winter and signed 2023/24 campaign off by finishing a close third in 3m handicap at Taunton. Last season was disappointing over fences, third of 9 in cheekpieces at Uttoxeter in March but he's in leading hands and has since undergone breathing surgery.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosUttoxeter3mGood to SoftChase3/8Taunton2m 7f 3ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase3/9Cheltenham3m 1f 56yGood to SoftChasepu/9Chepstow2m 7f 131yGood to SoftChase5/9Taunton2m 7f 198ySoftHurdle3/7
