OffMajor Fortune
MAJOR FORTUNE proved a revelation fitted with headgear and back under testing conditions when registering his first success over fences at Wincanton in taking style last month and is likely to make another bold bid faced with a similar scenario. Havaila has a steadily progressive profile and rates the main threat after a good third in a big field at Windsor on his return. Brave Kingdom stopped the slide at Taunton 2 weeks ago and is potentially well treated if building on that.

Winning pointer. Maiden under Rules who has shown some improvement switched to fences this term, though was a bit disappointing at Windsor last time.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWindsor2m 6f 50ySoftChase4/10Cheltenham3m 1f 56yGood to SoftChase3/8Southwell2m 4f 88ySoftChase2/6Plumpton2m 4f 114yGood (Good to Soft in places)HurdleF/10Exeter2m 2f 111yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle4/6- 7HavailaJ: Caoilin QuinnT: Gary & Josh Moore13122-3Age 77/2

Took well to fences last season, winning twice. Good third of 16 at Windsor on return last month and drop back in trip probably in his favour given his natural exuberance.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWindsor3m 4f 162ySoftChase3/16Plumpton3m 1f 152yGoodChase2/6Newbury2m 7f 86yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase2/7Plumpton3m 1f 152yGoodChase1/3Lingfield Park2m 7f 110yHeavyChase3/8- 5Major FortuneJ: Harry SkeltonT: Dan Skelton263-481Age 89/2

Patchy record over fences but took advantage of reduced mark in first-time headgear at Wincanton (25.1f) last month, readily asserting.

Largely consistent over fences for current yard and deservedly opened his account in this sphere with a gritty display at Warwick. Good second at Haydock next time before stamina probably stretched at Windsor since. Looks high enough in the weights now.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosWindsor3m 4f 162ySoftChase10/16Haydock Park3m 4f 97yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase2/4Warwick3mSoftChase1/9Wetherby3m 45ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase3/7Fontwell Park2m 5f 135yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase2/6- 8SheldonJ: Callum PritchardT: Seamus Mullins3F5-432Age 109/1

Seemingly not as good as he was but ran best race for a while when second over C&D 5 weeks ago.

Likeable type who was a back-to-back winner at Wincanton/Taunton a year ago and added to his tally when striking on return at Exeter. Followed that with a solid third there last month, though still has to prove his stamina over this far.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosExeter2m 3f 48yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase3/10Exeter2m 3f 48yGood to SoftChase1/10Fontwell Park2m 3f 104yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase2/12Taunton2m 5f 150yHeavy (Soft in places)Chase1/5Wincanton2m 4f 35ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/6- 4Happy And FineJ: Kielan WoodsT: Alex Hales3P-F41UAge 916/1

Steadily worked his way back to full fitness this campaign prior to capitalising on a reduced mark to end losing run at Warwick (3m) on New Year's Eve. In touch when unseating at Leicester (22.7f) on latest outing last month but he's not the easiest to predict nowadays.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLeicester2m 6f 151yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chaseur/7Warwick3mGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase1/6Chepstow2m 3f 98yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase4/8Aintree2m 5f 19yGood to SoftChaseF/17Newton Abbot2m 4f 216yHeavyChasepu/11- 1Saint PalaisJ: Harry BannisterT: Richard Bandey156-U57Age 920/1

Progressed at a rate of knots when winning 4 of his 5 starts when last seen over fences during 2021/22. Lightly raced over hurdles since and tame finishes have been a feature of recent displays.

Low-mileage 10-y-o who took well to fences when winning back-to-back handicaps on first 2 starts in this sphere in 2023. Struggled in a handful of starts after before stopping the slide when second of 4 at Taunton 2 weeks ago. Remains to be seen if he's able to back that up.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosTaunton2m 7f 3yHeavy (Soft in places)Chase2/4Newbury2m 6f 93yGood to SoftChasepu/12Uttoxeter3mSoft (Good to Soft in places)Chasepu/8Newbury3m 1f 214yGood to SoftChase3/9Ascot2m 7f 180yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chasepu/5
