Following Chapter
FOLLOWING CHAPTER showed improved form when making his second handicap start a winning one at Warwick last time and, with this step up in trip promising to suit, he is taken to score again now that he's up and running. Unleash The Beast also looks interesting over this longer distance and could be the main danger, ahead of Shuil Ceoil.

Making second start in handicaps, looked suited by the step back up in trip when opening account at Warwick (19f, good to soft) 5 weeks ago. Form from last time has been boosted since and he's a major player with more to offer over this longer distance.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWarwick2m 3fGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle1/11Hereford2m 53yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle4/12Ludlow1m 7f 169yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle4/10Chepstow2m 11yHeavyHurdle5/10Chepstow2m 3f 100yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle9/13- 1Unleash The BeastJ: Jonathan BurkeT: Fergal O'Brien56527-7Age 73/13/110/3

Race-by-race progress in trio of maiden hurdles at around 16f. Hasn't been seen to best effect sent handicapping last 2 starts, needing a stiffer test when well held at Chepstow (16.1f, soft) on return, so he could get back on the up over this longer trip.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosChepstow2m 16ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle7/12Doncaster2m 128yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle7/14Southwell1m 7f 182yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle2/10Uttoxeter1m 7f 168ySoft (Good to Soft in Places)Hurdle5/11Ludlow1m 7f 169yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle6/8- 8Shuil CeoilJ: Bradley HarrisT: Neil Mulholland125-032Age 813/211/26/1

Took advantage of reduced mark when striking back in this sphere at Fontwell (21.8f) a year ago. After a couple of lesser efforts to start the current campaign, returned to form in first-time visor when second at Exeter (21.6f, soft) last time, so he could be in the mix.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosExeter2m 5f 137yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle2/14Uttoxeter2m 3f 207yHeavyHurdle3/7Chepstow2m 3f 100yGoodHurdle15/16Perth2m 7f 207yGood to SoftHurdle5/11Fontwell Park2m 5f 164yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle2/6- 10My FortuneJ: Ben JonesT: Ben Pauling0-65F4Age 610/110/19/1

Didn't offer much in a bumper and first 3 starts over hurdles, but showed more when fourth of 7 in novice at Kempton (16f, good) 25 days ago.

Doubled his tally on second start in cheekpieces when winning at Ffos Las 11 months ago. Form has been mixed this season, though one of better efforts when third at Exeter (21.6f, soft) 26 days ago.

Made the frame in both bumper outings and promise at this C&D on second of 3 quick runs in maiden hurdles this season. However, wasn't able to improve on handicap debut when fourth of 7 back here (soft) in December, so she has something to find.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLudlow2m 5f 55yGood to Soft (Soft In Places)Hurdle4/7Bangor-on-dee2m 3f 123ySoft (Heavy in places)Hurdle5/9Ludlow2m 5f 55yGoodHurdle3/6Hereford2m 53yGood (Good to Firm in places)Hurdle6/8Stratford-on-avon2m 70yGood (Good to Firm in places)Bumper4/10- 12CatboyJ: Jack TudorT: Christian WilliamsP0F87U0Age 620/116/118/1

Sole victory came back in September 2024 and form has been mixed this season, though there were better signs before unseating over fences at this course (16f) in November. Well held back hurdling at Uttoxeter last time, but he's on a handy mark if on a going day.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosUttoxeter1m 7f 168yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle11/12Ludlow1m 7f 212yGoodChaseur/6Uttoxeter1m 7f 168yGoodHurdle7/14Uttoxeter1m 7f 168yGoodHurdle8/13Newton Abbot2m 167yGood to SoftHurdleF/9- 6Times A WastinJ: Robert DunneT: Tony Carroll3455775Age 725/125/122/1

Largely campaigned in bumpers (fair form) in Ireland but went the wrong way in 3 starts over hurdles for Fergal O'Brien. Seemed unsuited by drop back in trip on stable debut when fifth of 15 in handicap at Hereford (16.2f, soft) in December, though improvement required.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHereford2m 53ySoftHurdle5/15Market Rasen2m 4f 139yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle7/7Uttoxeter1m 7f 168yGoodHurdle7/8Worcester2mGood to SoftHurdle5/13Cork3mGoodHurdle5/18- 7MoonlightintheparkJ: Craig NicholT: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero467Age 525/125/128/1

Runner-up sole start in Irish points and looks to have been brought gradually in 3 novice hurdles, in first-time hood when seventh of 10 at Haydock (15.6f, good) 36 days ago. Bred for longer trips so she's capable of better with tongue strap added for handicap bow.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHaydock Park1m 7f 144yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle7/10Ludlow1m 7f 169yGood to Soft (Soft In Places)Hurdle6/15Wetherby2mSoft (Good to Soft in Places)Hurdle4/5- 11Getaway SamJ: Ned FoxT: Matt Sheppard5-U0P8PAge 633/133/140/1

Mid-field in a bumper for Nigel Twiston-Davies but little form over hurdles for current yard, though shaped like a non-stayer when pulled up on handicap debut at Hereford (25.5f, soft) 23 days ago.

Runner-up all 3 outings in bumpers but well held in 2 starts over hurdles for Tom Symonds last winter. Likely needed the run when down the field at Worcester (16f, good to firm) on stable debut in June and, while off again since, handicaps should be more suitable.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWorcester2mGoodHurdle6/9Doncaster2m 3f 88yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle11/12Hereford2m 3f 147yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdle8/9Worcester2mSoftBumper2/12Plumpton2m 1f 164yGood (Good to Soft in places)Bumper2/7- 5Lion Of The DesertJ: Joe AndersonT: Grace Harris8957309Age 633/133/140/1

Some promise in Irish maidens for previous yard, but offered little on stable/handicap debut at Exeter in December and was let down by jumping at Taunton (23.9f, soft) 18 days ago.

Eleven runs since last win in 2024 and has been below his best during the current campaign, including tried again over fences last 3 starts.
