Always A Reason
ALWAYS A REASON has his stamina to prove up in trip but he was a good second in a better race than this here 12 days ago so must still rate a big player if over that effort. Visual Impact could be on the way back given how she shaped at Ayr, while My Lady Elektra has made a bright start in this sphere.

Winning pointer who went the right way as a hurdler and made bright start over fences when winning first 2 starts. Quickly back on track fitted with a tongue strap when second here 12 days ago but stamina is a slight concern up in trip.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKelso2m 5f 133yGood to SoftChase2/10Newcastle2m 75yGood to SoftChase5/6Catterick Bridge2m 3f 51ySoft (Heavy in places)Chase1/5Newcastle2m 4f 19yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase1/9Carlisle2m 3f 61ySoftHurdle2/8- 4Visual ImpactJ: Derek FoxT: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore22-348FAge 77/25/14/1

£100,000 purchase having finished runner-up in sole Irish point. Hasn't gone on from a promising chase debut at Ayr in November but yard in much better form of late and there were encouraging signs back at Ayr last time.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAyr3m 20ySoft (Heavy in places)ChaseF/6Ayr3m 20ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase8/14Wetherby3m 45ySoftChase4/9Ayr2m 4f 110ySoftChase3/12Perth2m 4f 35yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle2/7- 1KahavariJ: Toby WynneT: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero-U64252Age 67/23/110/3

Fair winner over hurdles in France who only narrowly failed to open his account on these shores in small-field handicap chase at Carlisle 25 days ago.

Still a maiden but has made a decent start over fences, runner-up to a subsequent winner over C&D when last seen in November.

Low-mileage mare who advanced her form in first-time blinkers when scoring at Perth (3m) last April.

Encouragement when fourth of 19 in a handicap hurdle at Ayr in January but failed to build on that when only mid-field back over fences at Carlisle.
