Cheltenham

Tomorrow, March 11, 2025ChaseClass 13m1f

One of the few races Britain has dominated, and they appear to hold the upper hand once again with the thriving KATATE DORI leading the charge for the home team. He continued his remarkable progress when routing his rivals in the Ladbrokes Trophy at Kempton and looks capable of defying a 12 lb rise if that big effort hasn't taken the edge off him. This has likely been the target for Crebilly after his fine second in the Plate last year, while Sequestered looks the pick of the Irish.

    Verdict
    Much improved sent chasing this season, winning 3 of his 4 starts, notably when most impressive in the Ladbrokes Trophy at Kempton 17 days ago. Big hike in the weights is totally justified (12 lb higher) and big shout if this doesn't come too soon.

    Three wins in a productive novice chase campaign, including a valuable staying handicap here. Better for return when excellent second in Coral Gold Cup at Newbury but fluffed his lines back here on New Year's Day. Worth another chance.

    Verdict
    Dual hurdles winner last season and this Irish point scorer is progressing very nicely over fences, supplementing his Kelso success in fine style at Ayr. Drop back in trip against him here since. This is a big test for a lightly-raced novice but his limit has probably not been reached yet.

    Verdict
    Irish point winner. Winning hurdler but built for chasing and stepped up on chase bow/return when comfortable winner of 3-runner handicap at Wetherby. None the worse for Windsor fall when making all at Kelso latest. This is a big test for a lightly-raced novice but remains with potential.

    Useful chaser who struggled to recapture her best since falling here last winter. However, she took a big step back in the right direction when second of 5 in listed mares chase at Exeter last time so she's no forlorn hope.

    Verdict
    Has taken his form to a new level this season, winning first 3 starts of the campaign, including the Grand Sefton at Aintree and a valuable pot here (26f). Seemed to sulk when ridden with more restraint than usual upped in trip at Musselburgh 5 weeks ago so big field may not suit.

    Verdict
    Took very well to fences in 2020/21, second in this (off 7 lb higher) prior to winning Grade 3 handicap at Aintree. Generally struggled in a handful of runs since, though at least showed something to work on returning from almost 2 years off when fifth on yard debut here in January.

    Low-mileage 9-y-o who was sent off favourite (off 8 lb lower) when let down by jumping in this race last year. Returned with success in class 2 at Haydock in November and backed that up with a couple of decent efforts in premier handicaps since. Others look better treated now, though.
