11st 6lb

J: Toby McCain-Mitchell

T: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies

1-6 over fences, the success at Aintree (2m4f) on seasonal debut; seemed a non-stayer in the Welsh National before eventually falling, then ran below form at Cheltenham (2m4f); return to this venue may have a positive effect but he ideally needs assistance from the weather, having gained all wins on soft ground.

J: Sam Twiston-Davies

T: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies

Made much of the running when winning in dominant style at Aintree (2m4f, soft) in December; beaten when falling late on in the Welsh National three weeks later, lack of stamina a possible factor; back to a more suitable trip here but now off a career-high mark and others appeal more.

11st 3lb

J: James Turner

T: Nigel Twiston-Davies

Record of 3-7 under James Turner, the wins over 2m3f last season and 3m on penultimate outing (all on soft ground); ran creditably over the latter trip last time; remains on career-high mark and others are likely to prove better handicapped.

Uncle Bert

11st 13lb

J: James Turner

T: Nigel Twiston-Davies

Started this season over fences but better form since returned to hurdling; the last three wins of his wins (all on soft) came under James Turner, last time holding off Kilbarry Hill in a game performance over C&D; 4lb higher today but never better and needs respect.
