J: Rian Corcoran

T: David Pipe

Six chase wins, the latest here (1m7f, heavy) under Rian Corcoran 19 days ago; still on workable mark after recent 5lb rise and will be fine over today's longer trip but the faster ground is probably not in his favour.

J: Rian Corcoran

T: David Pipe

Five-time chase winner who relishes testing ground; runner-up in his first two starts this season including a close call at Exeter (2m1f, good to soft), but his form cooled at Hereford last time; needs to step up again after that but he remains well treated on his old form.

J: Jack Tudor

T: David Pipe

Won five soft-ground chases last season (the first two over about 2m4f, the rest about 2m); working his way back to form with second on his last two starts, the latest over C&D when close behind Diplomatic Ash, but both those were also in the mud and he has plenty to prove away from soft or heavy.
