STATTLER showed plenty of encouragement on his hunter debut at Hereford 18 days ago, looking in control before being reeled in close home. The former high-class chaser for W. P. Mullins is entitled to strip fitter for that run and can go one better. Major Dundee has been largely out of sorts since winning the 2023 Midlands Grand National, but he may emerge as the main threat having switched yards, with Frere d'Armes seemingly best of the rest.

Quickly developed into a high-class novice over fences, running out a ready winner of the NH Chase in 2022. Looked set to defy a 22-month absence on hunter/yard debut only to be reeled in close home at Hereford recently but will prove a tough nut to crack in this.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHereford2m 4f 194ySoft (Heavy in places)Chase2/5Aintree4m 2f 74ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chasepu/32Punchestown3m 130ySoft to HeavyChase4/10Thurles2m 4f 35ySoftChase2/4Punchestown2m 3f 150ySoftChase6/6- 3Major DundeeJ: Mr Sam LeeT: Francesca PostePU/6P6-Age 115/15/111/2

Winner of 2023 Midlands Grand National but largely disappointed thereafter, including when sixth in Eider Chase last February. Runner-up both starts in points for new connections and this will help reveal how much ability he retains. Blinkers replace the visor.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewcastle4m 1f 56yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase6/17Lingfield Park3m 4f 178yHeavy (Soft in places)Chasepu/12Bangor-on-dee3m 30ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase6/10Newcastle4m 1f 56yHeavy (Soft In Places)Chaseur/12Warwick3m 5f 54ySoftChasepu/14- 1Frere d'ArmesJ: Mr Dominic LewisT: Dan Skelton95354PUAge 912/112/114/1

Won at this course last season but has lost his way since the spring, unseating rider ninth in 9-runner hunter chase at Ludlow (33/1) last month. A place is probably the best he can hope for.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLudlow2m 7f 171yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chaseur/9Fakenham2m 5f 44ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chasepu/5Wincanton1m 7f 50yGood (Good to Firm in places)Hurdle4/4Plumpton2m 4f 116yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle5/7Chepstow2m 3f 98yGood to Firm (Good in places)Chase3/4- 5Hollywood HarmonJ: Miss Pippa BrownT: A C Wilson8PP/3-1Age 914/114/116/1

Multiple point winner who broke her duck under Rules in 9-runner maiden hunter chase at Cartmel (5/1) last May, responding well to positive ride to lead after last.

Fairly useful chaser at his best but hasn't shown much in 3 starts for this yard and returns from 10 months off with a fair bit to prove.
