Improver who made it 2-3 over fences when scoring at Chepstow (3m, soft) last month; the leader fell two out in that race but this 6yo was in a clear second at the time and he eventually won by 8l in that big-field handicap; up 6lb but he's still lightly raced and should have more to offer in this sphere.

J: James Best

T: Richard Mitford-Slade

Very close second to progressive rival on seasonal/handicap/chase debut in November, then was left clear to score at Taunton (2m7f, good; final-fence faller won next time out) last month; 8lb higher here and not sure to be ideally suited by the slower ground, but still commands respect.

J: Micheal Nolan

All three chase wins in 2023, at 2m3f-2m5f (good and good to soft) so is on a losing run but she's been in good form on soft over the winter and the return to good ground will be appreciated; in the mix.

J: Bryan Carver

Promising effort in the second of two Irish points; dropped out into a very remote fourth of five finishers on hurdle debut here (2m6f, heavy) this month but it wouldn't surprise to see a better show here.
