Plenty who raced at Cheltenham re-oppose and the winner Barton Snow is the obvious place to start. He was given a fine ride that day to land a gamble with his stamina just holding up over 3 1/4m. He's unbeaten under rules and with the drop back in trip to suit he should confirm form with Cheltenham runner up Its On The Line. The 2024 winner of this contest has proven admirably consistent in this discipline for a number of years and should run his usual race which can see him gain a place. One who was ultimately well beaten at Cheltenham but ran well for a long way again was Take All. He doesn't stay 3m+ but he is consistent on good ground in hunter chases at around 2 1/2m and should be much closer to the front at the finish here. However preference is for UNEXPECTED PARTY who could have a class edge on his rivals. The former Grand Annual winner has taken well to this discipline this season but as recently as the autumn he was recording the top rating in this contest when chasing home a future dual Grade 2 winner. Now that his stamina for this far is proven he looks a solid alternative against an exposed line up. |

Yard won this last year; improved again under fine ride when winning a hunter chase at Cheltenham by a neck last time; stamina only just held out that day; effective 2m-3m2f on a sound surface; most progressive, remain competitive in top Hunter Chases, Aintree trip could suit ideally. |

Plenty who raced at Cheltenham re-oppose and the winner Barton Snow is the obvious place to start. He was given a fine ride that day to land a gamble with his stamina just holding up over 3 1/4m. He's unbeaten under rules and with the drop back in trip to suit he should confirm form with Cheltenham runner up Its On The Line. The 2024 winner of this contest has proven admirably consistent in this discipline for a number of years and should run his usual race which can see him gain a place. One who was ultimately well beaten at Cheltenham but ran well for a long way again was Take All. He doesn't stay 3m+ but he is consistent on good ground in hunter chases at around 2 1/2m and should be much closer to the front at the finish here. However preference is for UNEXPECTED PARTY who could have a class edge on his rivals. The former Grand Annual winner has taken well to this discipline this season but as recently as the autumn he was recording the top rating in this contest when chasing home a future dual Grade 2 winner. Now that his stamina for this far is proven he looks a solid alternative against an exposed line up. |

Returned to form back on better ground when winning a hunter chase at Leicester by 7l last time; wants 3m ideally, acts on soft or quicker; in fair form, unexposed in hunter chases and no forlorn stable second string. |

Didn't stay but ran well for a long way well beaten in a hunter chase at Cheltenham latest; in good form prior; effective 2 1/2m, barely gets 3m, acts on any but suited by decent ground; well treated on old form, should be thereabouts once more. |
