T: Hugh Burns

Yet to add to his four chase wins for Philip Kirby during 2023-24 season but has made the frame on all four starts for current stable since December, most recently when third of five at Newcastle (2m4f, good) nine days ago; tried in cheekpieces today; probably won't be far away.

With Phil Kirby when left alone in a match at Kelso (3m, soft) in February 2024, that being his fourth (and most recent) win over fences; runner-up in this last year (beaten 11l) for Lizzie Quinlan; in the frame three times (Musselburgh) for Hugh Burns; competes from an easing mark, needing more.

J: Peter Kavanagh

T: Hugh Burns

Two wins at Hexham (3m, good to soft) last year and on a handy mark on that form; soft ground may not have suited here last time but he's now been well below par on his last two starts and has to get back on track.

Callistos King

J: Charlie Maggs

T: Hugh Burns

With Dan Skelton when runner-up at Taunton (2m3f, good) in November 2022; pulled up over fences on final start for that trainer in July 2023 and well beaten on sole start for Phil Kirby; impossible to know what ability remains off 885-day absence.

Has won twice over C&D on good to soft this season, the latest in October; hasn't done quite as well since and this softer ground a slight concern.
