Step Into Luxury With Purple Granite Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Won off 6lb higher here (2m4f) in September 2023 but he was held over same C&D two weeks later and has been on the sidelines since then; has something to prove after a massive absence and is best watched unless market suggests otherwise.

Dual hurdle winner at around 2m (good/good to firm) last summer; mixed record in six hurdle runs this year but he went close in a valuable series final at Haydock (1m7f) in April; looks interesting on that form and he should have a future at this new discipline.

Mercurial veteran who has form figures of 61PP1F since rejoining current yard; took a heavy fall last time and now returns after 260 days off but he remains well treated on old form and his penultimate win was over C&D (good); not ruled out on his reappearance.

Has won four of his last eight handicap chases; held in third over C&D (good) last month but that was behind an improver in a 0-120 and he still looks feasibly treated on his Chepstow win in April; respected.

Low-mileage 7yo who was runner-up in a Haydock handicap (2m4f, good) in April but he jumped right on occasions when a well-held third at Warwick last month; still unexposed over fences and this drop back in trip should be fine but he needs to step up again after that last run; cheekpieces added.
