Daytime Dreaming
A good race in which cases can be made for a few. Preference however is for DAYTIME DREAMING, who had the race sewn up when left clear at Southwell earlier in the month and Tom Ellis' very lightly-raced 6-y-o is open to further improvement. Pure Carbon has taken very well to fences but he may have to settle for silver in his hat-trick bid, with Hardy du Seuil rounding off the shortlist.

Confirmed hurdles debut promise when landing the odds at Southwell in December 2024 and repeated that feat over fences back there earlier in the month, in control when left clear at the last. Very lightly raced and could well be up to defying an 8 lb rise with more to come.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSouthwell1m 7f 182yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase1/7Southwell2m 4f 88ySoftChase4/6Southwell1m 7f 182yGood to SoftHurdle1/8Uttoxeter1m 7f 168yGood to SoftHurdle4/10- 4Pure CarbonJ: Brendan PowellT: Harry Derham54-21U1Age 73/13/111/4

Maiden hurdler who has taken very well to fences, going one better than on chase debut to land 9-runner handicap chase at Huntingdon (16.5f) in November. Unseated early next outing, but back on song when scoring at Musselburgh earlier in the month and remains capable of better.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosMusselburgh1m 7f 182yGood to SoftChase1/5Ludlow1m 7f 212yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chaseur/8Huntingdon2m 104yGoodChase1/9Chepstow2m 11yGood to Firm (Good in places)Chase2/5Doncaster2m 4f 181yGoodHurdle4/9- 2Hardy Du SeuilJ: Isabelle RyderT: Jamie Snowden3-31042Age 94/110/37/2

Retuned to winning ways in handicap hurdle at Windsor in November and ran a stormer over fences when going down by just a head at Carlisle 11 days ago, edged out near finish having had the run of the race to assist. Every chance he can go one better from the same mark.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosCarlisle1m 7f 207yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase2/7Haydock Park2m 67yGood to SoftChase4/10Ascot1m 7f 157yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle13/13Windsor2mGood to SoftHurdle1/9Hexham2m 4f 28yGoodHurdle3/4- 5Rath Gaul HillJ: Sam Twiston-DaviesT: Samuel Drinkwater/16-83PAge 85/15/19/2

Completed hat-trick when making a belated winning return in this last year. Wasn't far off his best when third of 6 in first-time cheekpieces here in December but seemingly out of his depth at Sandown the following month. Back down in grade but hard to confident given his patchy form.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSandown Park1m 7f 99ySoft (Heavy in places)Chasepu/11Newbury2m 92yGood to SoftChase3/6Newbury2m 92yGood to SoftChase8/10Aintree1m 7f 176yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase6/14Newbury2m 92ySoftChase1/5- 1KotmaskJ: Caoilin QuinnT: Gary & Josh Moore2-5552FAge 88/18/19/1

Prone to mistakes and fell for the third time in his chasing career at Sandown (11/2) last month. Cheekpieces reapplied but he's not a reliable betting proposition.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSandown Park1m 7f 99ySoft (Heavy in places)ChaseF/11Sandown Park1m 7f 99yGoodChase2/5Newbury2m 92yGood to Soft (Soft In Places)Chase5/6Ascot2m 172yGood to SoftChase5/10Fontwell Park2m 3f 104yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase5/7- 6First AngelJ: Sean BowenT: Martin Keighley231/41-Age 1014/114/112/1

Won twice (at Stratford) from 4 starts in 2023/24 for this yard and showed benefit of reappearance run when scoring at Taunton when last seen 13 months ago. Will probably need this outing but worth noting he's 2-2 over fences for Sean Bowen.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosTaunton2m 12yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase1/6Doncaster2m 78yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase4/9Stratford-on-avon2m 213yGoodChase1/4Newton Abbot2m 75yGood to SoftChase3/5Southwell1m 7f 182yGoodChase2/6
