    Race Analysis

    This is the first Hunter Chase event in the UK for 2026 and Dan Skelton looks to have the biggest chance with UNEXPECTED PARTY (3) who is a classy recruit to this discipline. Very talented on his day and could prove hard to beat against this field. STUMPS OR SLIPS (2) produced a good sequence of wins last summer for Olly Murphy. Subsequently joined the upcoming stable of Edward Walker for his hunter chase career and rates the main danger. DORSET DAZZLER (6) maintained good form in point to points of late winning his last two. Not dismissed. A JET OF OUR OWN (4) holds form under rules and was a good winner last time in a point. Player.
