J: Miss Olive Nicholls

T: Paul Nicholls

Has had no trouble in transferring his useful hunter chase form to handicaps, last season winning at Kempton (3m, good) and runner-up there (2m4f, good to soft) in February; his Topham run can be forgiven and, while he might be better going right-handed, he could be tough to catch around here.

T: Paul Nicholls

Useful hunter chaser last season and he's transferred that form to handicaps, winning at Kempton (3m, good) in December and runner-up there (2m4f, good to soft) in February; he may be better going right-handed but otherwise this front-runner could prove well suited by today's test.

Won a C&D hunter chase last season from the front, as is his way; last two races have also been here over 3m, jumping better than his rivals the last time when 4lb lower; looks sure to go well for a long way back at 2m4f.

T: Paul Nicholls

Suited by a sound surface; won a juvenile hurdle for this yard in 2020 before embarking on a point/hunter chase career that by and large went very well, and last time ran to a high level when second to the classy Its On The Line in a 3m hunter chase at Punchestown; a long time since he ran over this short a trip but he's a front-runner who doesn't hang about; Olive Nicholls knows him well.
