Form & Verdict
Has very mixed record this season but his second to I'm Too Tired over C&D (good to soft; visored) on Boxing Day was a good effort and he rebounded from a poor run with a recent third (just behind Zara's Universe) at Catterick (1m7f, good to soft; wore cheekpieces); must be considered.

Form & Verdict
Keen-going front-runner who was a dual chase winner in France last spring; performed poorly on latest outing in December and is now 0-4 in Britain but his previous two runs were quite encouraging and the refitted hood may help him to settle better today.

J: Sean Bowen

T: Charlie Longsdon

Front-runner whose two wins last year came at Sedgefield when making all; his suspect stamina gave out in a match at Hereford (2m5f, good) 18 days ago but this track back down in trip should play to his strengths; regular hood returns after being omitted last time.

Front-runner; won twice at Sedgefield last year (good to firm/good; up to extended 2m3f) and returned from a break to finish third of five at Plumpton (2m1f, good to soft) in March, not beaten far; could be tough to reel in.

Won on heavy and soft in France but kept to good or quicker in Britain; front-runner who has a good record at Sedgefield, winning twice there in 2025 (2m and 2m3f); still 5lb higher than the latest of them in October but he can go well fresh so not ruled out back from a break.

Form & Verdict
Absent since a disappointing run in October but seemed to respond well to first-time cheekpieces when second in stronger race than this at Bangor (2m, good) two starts ago and is of strong interest if judged on that form.

Only won over fences and he made it 0-10 over hurdles when beaten 12l at Kelso a month ago; however, was running fairly well in this discipline before that and certainly has each-way claims.

Battled on well for second over C&D before a heavier defeat at Stratford, where again runner-up but beaten 11l; only 1-20 overall and vulnerable to horses on handier marks but one of the more solid contenders nonetheless.

Form & Verdict
Not at best on either appearance this year but now only 1lb higher than when beating Fearless Action to open chasing account in small-field C&D (good to soft) contest on Boxing Day; swaps usual cheekpieces for first-time cheekpieces today; obvious contender if back on song.
