Form & Verdict
Stamina is the big question mark on this first run beyond an extended 2m5f but his dam is a half-sister to two winning stayers; has a good record at Doncaster (wins here on good/good to soft) and he was runner-up when back over fences here (2m3f, good) last month; major player if he stays.

12st 0lb

J: Ben Jones

T: Ben Pauling

Front-runner who posted some good efforts over hurdles and fences for Neil King in second half of last year, including a second in this race; makes debut for Ben Pauling after eight-month break but will be a danger to all off current mark if fully tuned up.

J: Jack Quinlan

T: Neil King

Front-runner; looked a non-stayer over 3m at Doncaster last month but his close second there (2m3f, good) two starts ago was a good effort and he'll be fine on this right-handed track; no surprise if he give this a good shot.

Form & Verdict
Pulled up on final start last season and same story on last month's reappearance; has plenty to prove but he's in top hands and has an attractive mark to exploit if the first-time cheekpieces prompt a revival.

7 yo Gelding

Form & Verdict
His Irish trainer has a 21% strike-rate over jumps in Britain this season and Callum Pritchard removes a valuable 7lb; a market check is advised but he's failed to shine on his last three starts.

Form & Verdict
Completed a hat-trick in September/October (3m2f/2m7f, good/good to soft) and bounced back from Wetherby defeat when readily making all at Newcastle (2m7f, good to soft) a fortnight ago; he's up 6lb for last time and in a tougher race today, but he's clearly thriving and has to be respected.

J: Conor O’Farrell

He's struggled on his last four starts but is now 3lb lower than when winning at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) last April and his southern trainer has a very healthy 24% strike-rate here; interesting, especially if backed.

Form & Verdict
Ran well when fifth in the 2023 Scottish National and he's now 13lb lower; however, this 10yo has struggled on his four starts since and wind surgery needs to prompt a dramatic transformation; absent since June.

0-9 under rules since winning a soft-ground point in March 2023 but he's finished runner-up five times, including over fences on his last three starts (2m4f-3m2f, good; here most recently behind bang-in-form winner); perhaps the first-time cheekpieces will eke out something extra from this 5yo.
