Tomorrow, March 15, 2025ChaseClass 14m2f

This is wide open but KNOCKANORE proved a revelation on his first go over a marathon trip when routing his field in Newcastle's Eider Chase and with ground conditions again likely to be far from testing he can follow up with talented claimer Freddie Mitchell once more taking off 5 lb. The admirable Mr Vango is feared most in his hat-trick bid, although Tanganyika, Apple Away and Val Dancer all seem sure to have a say too. Invincible Nao completes the shortlist in a cracking Midlands National.

    Opened his chase account over 2m4f here in December and took his form up a couple of notches when a wide-margin winner of Newcastle's Eider three weeks ago. Hiked up 10 lb but not taken lightly with talented 5 lb claimer Freddie Mitchell again up.

    Verdict
    Has quickly made up into a smart chaser and followed up a winning return at Sandown (3m4f) with a game success in Peter Marsh at Haydock in January. Up another 3 lb but this really likeable type is a likely player in his hat-trick bid.

    Irish challenger left his previous chasing efforts behind when bagging 17-runner handicap chase at Punchestown (27f) 23 days ago, overcoming last-fence error. Likely to do better still stepping up in trip. Well in the mix.

    Much improved for fitting of cheekpieces and took his form to a new level when winning Welsh National at Chepstow in December. Ran another cracker off 12 lb higher (6 lb out of the handicap) when third in Haydock's Grand National Trial since and this likeable sort must enter calculations.

    Very much on the up since sent chasing, scoring at Market Rasen (3m) then following up impressively at Carlisle (3m) last month. This demands more but he's a major player with better still to come now tackling a marathon trip for the first time.
