Macktoad beat Pourquoi Pas Papa at Sandown prior to proving a very disappointing odds-on favourite in a Grade 2 at Chepstow. Some may forgive that effort and give him another chance, but MANLAGA might get the better of him. Nicky Henderson's filly shaped with lots of promise when just touched off in a Listed contest at Doncaster last month. With any amount of improvement to come, she can take a step forward to score.

Given a poor ride and allowed the winner to get away when second, beaten 1 1/2l at Leicester last time. Effective over 2m-2m4f and acts on soft and good; almost certainly has more to offer if the rider gets it right.

He has won a hurdle race, a NH flat race and a chase from 2m to 2m 4f on good to soft and soft ground. Beaten 1 1/2l by Heeztheboy when second of 6 at 10-11fav on his latest outing in a chase at Leicester over 2m 4f (good to soft) in December last year.

It's hard to get away from THROATLASH, who beat a subsequent winner when completing the hat-trick over C&D last month and looks to have lots in his favour. A 5lb rise for that success could be lenient and the seven-year-old can get the better of Irish raider Bythesametoken, who is an interesting contender after his victory at Listowel last September. The unexposed The Bluesman and Anyharminasking are others to note.

Top Tip: Throatlash (8)
Watch out for: Bythesametoken (4)

2025: (6 ran) Gwennie May Boy , Age 7 , Wgt 11-6 , SP 6/1 - C J Todd / D Skelton

Forecast: 4/7 Kabral Du Mathan , 11/2 French Ship , 15/2 Henri The Second , 10/1 Beauport , 12/1 Lud'or , 20/1 Lavida Adiva (Note: non-runner may affect prices)

Last Updated: 01 Apr 2026 02:38:39

This revolves around the exciting prospect that is KABRAL DU MATHAN. Dan Skelton's gelding supplemented his course success with an impressive performance in the Relkeel at Cheltenham and this rise in trip might be right up his street. With the Stayers' Hurdle possibly next on his agenda, the six-year-old should prove hard to beat. French Ship was unable to complete the hat-trick when finishing seventh in the Lanzarote at Kempton but cannot be discounted, while Henri The Second is the pick for third.

Top Tip: Kabral Du Mathan (1)
Watch out for: French Ship (4)

DALSTON LAD has improved with each start over hurdles and was last seen beating experienced rivals in a handicap over C&D a month ago. On that evidence, Dan Skelton's gelding could take plenty of beating back against novices. The main threat is likely to be Reckless Spending after his 15-length success at Kempton a couple of weeks ago. That said, Ubatuba and Whiskey Yankee are other exciting prospects to consider.

MYRETOWN's jumping has really let him down the last twice, when falling in the Coral Gold Cup and finishing fourth in the Peter Marsh here last month. A very bad mistake three out cost him on the latter occasion when he was travelling best of all and that effort suggests that he is still well handicapped. With a clear round, the nine-year-old can see off Deafening Silence, who arrives here on the back of placed efforts in the Rehearsal and Welsh Grand National. Rivers Corner and Richmond Lake are others who have strong claims.

STAY AWAY FAY bounced back to form in first-time blinkers here last month. He finished a resolute second to the progressive Dalston Lad and is taken to go one better, despite a 4lb rise, with Paul Nicholls' yard in such good form. Nurse Susan arrives in fine fettle having landed a double with a Listed success at Sandown, while Doughmore Bay may well reverse latest running at Windsor with the winner Go To War now on better terms.

Well below form and the ground was too soft when pulled up in a handicap chase at Fakenham last time. Off a short break. Probably needs 2m4f and acts on good ground. A point winner who is up in trip for her hunter chase debut.

Successful in a hurdle race and a point-to-point at 2m 3f and 3m on good ground. Pulled up at the last when 7-2 at Fakenham over 2m 5f (soft) in a chase won by Gazette Bourgeoise in December last year on her latest outing. Having her first run for a new stable today.

2025: (6 ran) My Drogo , Age 10 , Wgt 11-12 , SP 11/4 - Mr William Biddick / Edward William Walker

Forecast: 5/4 Unexpected Party , 15/8 Shearer , 7/1 Good Boy Bobby , 8/1 Take All , 10/1 Lift Me Up , 50/1 Darraby , 50/1 Settle Down Jill (Note: non-runner may affect prices)

Last Updated: 31 Mar 2026 20:09:40

UNEXPECTED PARTY made short work of the opposition when returning the easy winner at Taunton. That was his first start in hunter chase company and Dan Skelton's charge can make the most of these favourable terms once again. Shearer made a winning reappearance in one of these events at Ffos Las last year and he can feature, while Take All ran well for third at Ludlow.

Top Tip: Unexpected Party (2)
Watch out for: Shearer (1)
