11st 5lb

J: James Bowen

T: Warren Greatrex

Second-season chaser who took his form to new levels over about 3m1f-3m2f at Cheltenham initially this season but, after wind surgery, faded badly from three out when 10-1 for the Kim Muir there last month; needs to bounce back with another career best and he has more to prove on this third attempt at a marathon trip.

J: Mr Finian Maguire

T: Warren Greatrex

Second-season chaser who has run well here on his last three starts, finishing second of 16 under Finian Maguire (3m1f, heavy) then fourth over this C&D (good to soft; lost a shoe) before winning here (3m1f, good) on New Year's Day; has had wind surgery since and he's a solid contender.

10st 12lb

J: Harry Cobden

T: Warren Greatrex

Won three successive handicap hurdles last winter and two in a row at about 3m over fences (Newbury and Windsor) this winter; those improved efforts came to an end when he only struggled into third back at Newbury one month ago, which makes others much more persuasive today.
