9 yo Gelding

OR: 112

Form & Verdict
Back over hurdles the last twice and his first real blip since the visor went on when fading away over 2m2f here on Boxing Day; first and third in two of his four runs over fences and this front-runner should be very competitive.

Homme Dun Soir

11st 13lb

J: Ben Jones

T: Billy Aprahamian

Has three wins over fences but after finishing last of four at Hereford last month, he exploited a lower hurdles mark when successful at Wincanton (1m7f, good) 12 days ago; needs to use that momentum back over the larger obstacles.

T: Billy Aprahamian

Better known as a chaser now but was third in a better race than this when reverting to hurdles at Warwick (2m, heavy; also suited by good) last month, and subsequent 32l defeat over fences came in a good-quality contest; must be considered.

Homme Dun Soir

11st 1lb

J: James Bowen

T: Billy Aprahamian

Seven wins in all, most recently at Market Rasen and Ludlow this time last year; didn't shape too badly over hurdles at Warwick (jumped right) last time, and this return to fences on a right-handed track should suit him; not ruled out.

7 yo Gelding

OR: 120

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced and progressive in his four chases, last time coming from off the pace to be second at Leicester (2m, soft) behind one who had been running well; should have this run to suit with a good pace on the cards; has won on good to soft.

Consistent since sole chase success and has solid handicap form this season; receives hardly any respite from the assessor but gets other help on this occasion, with Harry O'Dwyer taking off 7lb.

Consistent since sole chase success and has solid handicap form this season; latest effort, in Sandown Class 2, received a boost when the winner followed up in Grade 2 event on Saturday; respected at this level.

7 yo Colt

OR: 106

Form & Verdict
Couldn't win over hurdles; suffered a heavy fall five out on his chase debut but bounced back with a 7l third at Huntingdon (2m, good to soft; five ran); needs more again but that's feasible.

Landed his third success over fences at Ludlow (2m, good) last month after his challenger fell at the last obstacle; up 7lb but still on the upgrade and should not be far away.

T: Pam Sly

1-1 here, that win coming over C&D (good; 18-1) in November on his penultimate start; not beaten far when fourth of six at Doncaster (also about 2m, good to soft) the following month and he's another who is firmly in calculations.

Form & Verdict
Both his wins came last year on good ground, the one here over 2m3f; had wind surgery prior to latest run at Doncaster and didn't run badly given that he made mistakes; considered.

Last win was over 2m3f here in May of last year off 6lb higher; not quite hit the same heights this year and has been finishing his races rather tamely.

Not really firing on all cylinders since returning from a break in the autumn and has developed a tendency to finish rather weakly but comes here after two respectable 2m4f thirds this spring (cheekpieces added last time) and continues to edge down the weights.

J: Harry Skelton

T: Dan Skelton

Dual chase winner who was ridden much closer to the pace than is often the case when very respectable third behind Abingworth at Warwick (2m4f, good) last month; remains on a workable mark and features prominently in calculations; cheekpieces (tried once in early 2024) refitted.
