Form & Verdict
Had Lightkeeper behind when catching out an idling leader over C&D last month but the Elliott horse got his revenge back here 17 days ago; this 6yo would have got closer had he been cleaner over the last fence; closely matched with his old rival.

King Roly

12st 2lb

J: James Bowen

T: Mickey Bowen

Won three small-field chases in early part of last season (2m3f-2m4f, good) and ran better than eventual 18l defeat suggests at Perth (2m4f, good; hampered by final-fence faller) last month, after a layoff; will be fine over today's longer trip and goes on the shortlist.

King Roly

J: James Bowen

T: Mickey Bowen

Made a good start to his chasing career last year, winning three times between May and September (2m3f/2m4f, good), with two of them over C&D; also effective on good to soft, unproven on softer; he has a very solid record here and could play a leading role if fully tuned up after a break.

Form & Verdict
Reversed previous C&D form with King Roly under an aggressive front-running ride from Sean Bowen here 17 days ago (good); that wasn't without the occasional scare over his fences but he's clearly capable of going well again off just 4lb higher.

J: Josh Williamson

T: Gordon Elliott

Maiden hurdle winner in 2024 has won three chases since and is rated 128 in that sphere; was second in a Bellewstown claimer in August when last over hurdles; a spin in the charity race at Punchestown can have him straight; valuable 5lb claimer a help.

Form & Verdict
Progressive over hurdles last season in winning two 2m handicaps (on soft) and his following defeats were no backward steps (on good to soft and good); has a career-high mark to deal with but might well improve again for fences.

J: James Turner

T: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies

Chasing didn't go to plan in the autumn (three attempts) and he's looked out of sorts over hurdles lately; will appreciate this ease in grade but still needs huge boost from the first-time cheekpieces.

Potentially well handicapped but he tried chasing earlier this season and hasn't offered a lot back over hurdles; it looks significant that regular rider Sam Twiston-Davies has turned elsewhere.

Form & Verdict
Irish point winner who has had little racing for a 7yo; placed in a 2m4f handicap hurdle here before finishing fourth over C&D on his chase debut when left behind by Lightkeeper and King Roly; asking plenty of him to reverse placings with both of those.
