Martator
Back below his last winning mark, this looks a good opportunity for MARTATOR to notch another win for the resurgent Venetia Williams team. Dr T J Eckleburg is 5 lb lower than when successful in this race last year and looks the main danger following a return to form, while Harper's Brook isn't one for maximum faith but has been given a chance by the handicapper.

Developed fine partnership with stable conditional, progressing to win fourth race in previous 5 starts at Taunton last month.

Race run to suit when notching career-best success in listed handicap at the Punchestown Festival last spring. Likely to have needed his subsequent two starts but he isn't the easiest to catch right and ideally needs a stronger pace.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKempton Park2m 4f 110yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase6/7Ascot2m 172yGoodChase9/10Punchestown2m 75yYieldingChase1/23Aintree1m 7f 176yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase9/14Doncaster2m 78yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chasebd/9- Non-Runners
