Kdeux Saint Fray
Low-mileage 6-y-o KDEUX SAINT FRAY has more to offer over fences and he makes plenty of appeal tackling 3m for the first time. Last year's winner Katate Dori has proved better than ever this season and can make a bold bid to defend his crown, while Hoe Joly Smoke looks a danger if first-time cheekpieces have the desired effect.

Left clear to win second chase start at Cheltenham in November and still looked ahead of his mark when runner-up at Aintree. Finished with running left when fourth in Timeform Novices' handicap chase on Trials Day last time and this lightly-raced 6-y-o remains open to improvement upped to 3m.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCheltenham2m 4f 127ySoftChase4/9Aintree2m 3f 200ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase2/6Cheltenham2m 4f 44ySoftChase1/6Cheltenham2m 4f 44yGood (Good to Soft in places)ChaseF/14Chepstow2m 3f 100yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle2/5- 7Katate DoriJ: Dylan JohnstonT: Sam Thomas21P-762Age 85/15/19/2

Most progressive when winning this race in 2025 and looks at the top of his game this season, confirming promise of Coral Gold Cup sixth when just coming off second best at Cheltenham on New Year's Day.

Won twice over this trip as a novice and dropped back to 2½m, found more off the bridle than has been the case when third in Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham in November. Not seen to same effect there last time but looks interesting now tried in first-time headgear on return to 3m.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCheltenham2m 4f 127yGood to SoftChase5/10Cheltenham2m 4f 44ySoft (Heavy in places)Chase3/12Cheltenham3m 1fGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase3/18Sandown Park3m 4f 146yGoodChasepu/19Sandown Park3m 37yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/6- 6LookawayJ: Jack QuinlanT: Neil King/13-331Age 911/213/26/1

Likeable front-running hurdler who placed in Grade 2 as novice chaser last season and benefitted from others' mistakes when landing first handicap chase success over 2½m here last time, sticking to his task well.

Made it 2-2 over fences with an assured C&D success in November and best not judged harshly on subsequent runs over inadequate trips. This yard (also saddle Rising Dust) more than capable of targeting a valuable prize and no surprise to see a better effort here.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLeopardstown2m 1fYielding (Good to Yielding in places)Chase12/20Punchestown2m 65yHeavyChase4/7Kempton Park3mGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/7Cheltenham2m 7f 208yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle9/17Ballinrobe2m 7f 65yGood (Good to Yielding in places)Chase1/9- 13Rising DustJ: Sean BowenT: Emmet Mullins, Ireland2116111Age 88/110/19/1

Continues to defy the handicapper, making it five wins from his last 6 starts in 14-runner handicap chase at Thurles (20.9f) last month. Up another 11 lb but he's in shrewd hands and could progress again returned to 3m.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosThurles2m 4f 198yYielding (Yielding to Soft in places)Chase1/14Thurles3m 1f 66yYieldingChase1/16Thurles2m 6fGood to Yielding (Yielding in places)Chase1/15Clonmel3mSoftHurdle6/9Punchestown2m 7f 22yGood to YieldingHurdle1/17- 5The Doyen ChiefJ: Tom BellamyT: Alan King11-2P51Age 910/110/111/1

Strong-travelling sort for a stayer and he was slightly fortunate to make it 2-2 over C&D last month, handed initiative at last and all out to hold on.

Course winner finished ahead of a couple of next-time-out winners when encouraging second on reappearance at Newbury but left the impression all wasn't well behind Lookaway here in January.

Finished last season with valuable hurdle success at Aintree and further progress back chasing this season, making it a cross-code hat-trick in Silver Cup at Ascot in December. Winning run ended in somewhat laboured fashion at Doncaster however and more needed to defy career-high mark.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosDoncaster2m 7f 214ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase5/8Ascot2m 7f 185yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase1/12Bangor-on-dee3m 30ySoftChase1/7Aintree3m 149yGoodHurdle1/17Sandown Park2m 7f 98yHeavyHurdle6/13- 2Henry's FriendJ: Ben JonesT: Ben Pauling188-186Age 918/114/116/1

Better than ever when landing Sodexo Gold Cup at Ascot on reappearance. Bounced back from another Cheltenham blip when not beaten far in the Silver Cup at Ascot last time but may prove vulnerable to improvers off current mark.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot2m 7f 185yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase6/12Cheltenham3m 2f 70yGood to SoftChase8/9Ascot2m 7f 185yGoodChase1/12Ayr3m 7f 176yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase8/23Cheltenham3m 1fGood to SoftChase8/24- 3Soul IconJ: Rian CorcoranT: Keiran Burke1629-U4Age 922/122/125/1

Beat Edwardstone to win competitive Grade 2 handicap chase here (2m) Christmas 2024 and returned to form despite a sticky round of jumping when close fourth behind The Doyen Chief over C&D last time.

Plenty of creditable efforts in graded chases, including third in Silviniaco Conti Chase here in January but made it to 0-5 in handicap chases when well held at Cheltenham latest.
