Calimystic
CALIMYSTIC has hardly put a foot wrong in starting his chasing career 2-2 and with further progress on the cards, Nicky Henderson's lightly-raced 7-y-o can maintain his unbeaten record in this discipline at the expense of Palamon, who struggled at Aintree earlier in the month but is back in calmer waters here. Go West can fill out third.

Lightly-raced 7-y-o who has really impressed since sent chasing, bagging handicaps at Newbury in December and at this course (3m) 7 weeks ago, jumping well each time. Up another 6 lb but fancied to maintain his unbeaten record in this sphere.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSandown Park3m 42ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/8Newbury2m 6f 93yGood to SoftChase1/8Ayr3m 70yGood to Soft (Good in places)Hurdlepu/5Doncaster2m 3f 88yGood (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle1/6Doncaster2m 3f 88yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Hurdle2/12- 4PalamonJ: Harry SkeltonT: Dan Skelton6964516Age 610/310/33/1

Fairly useful hurdler/chaser in Ireland for Paul Nolan who left previous exploits for this yard in his wake (well backed in refitted tongue strap) when seeing off 8 rivals at Bangor (2½m) last month. Unable to make an impact in a much stronger race at Aintree since but can get back on track.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAintree1m 7f 176yGood to SoftChase6/15Bangor-on-dee2m 4f 72yGood (Good to Soft in Places)Chase1/9Wincanton2m 4f 35yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase5/5Warwick2m 4fSoftChase4/5Ludlow2m 4f 11ySoftChase6/7- 1Go WestJ: Freddie GingellT: Paul NichollsP-12314Age 87/27/24/1

Completed the hat-trick over hurdles in a 3-runner Kempton novice last April and looked a natural when winning a match race on chase bow at Warwick on return. Added to his tally at Musselburgh in February and easy to put a line through his latest effort (took off too soon at last ditch).DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKempton Park2m 4f 110yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase4/4Musselburgh2m 4f 68yGood to SoftChase1/6Kempton Park2m 4f 110yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase3/5Doncaster2m 3f 31yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase2/5Warwick2m 4fGoodChase1/2- 5KahavariJ: Jack TudorT: Oliver Greenall & Josh GuerrieroU642522Age 611/211/26/1

Fair winner over hurdles in France who has finished second in 3 his last 4 outings, most recently in 8-runner event at Kelso earlier in the month (again traded short in-running). Nudged up another 3 lb for that near miss and this is a stronger race.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKelso2m 7f 96yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase2/8Carlisle2m 4f 198yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase2/4Ayr2m 110ySoftChase5/6Huntingdon2m 104ySoftChase2/6Haydock Park2m 3f 203yGood to Soft (Good to Soft in places)Chase4/6- 2MillforceJ: Lee EdwardsT: Henry Oliver-P0421PAge 733/125/128/1

Signed off for Gavin Cromwell with success in 9-runner handicap chase at Galway (2¾m) in October and having been backed at long odds on return, shaped as if amiss at Haydock (3¼m, good to soft) just 10 days ago. Back down in trip and interesting to see if his supporters return.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHaydock Park3m 1f 125yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chasepu/7Galway2m 6f 111yYielding (Yielding to Soft in places)Chase1/9Fairyhouse2m 5f 55yYielding (Good to Yielding in places)Chase2/4Killarney2m 7f 100yGood (Good to Yielding in places)Chase4/5Galway2m 6f 111yGoodChase14/16
