Form & Verdict
7-15 over fences with peak form last May/July; ran respectably twice this April but pulled up on two subsequent starts, with cheekpieces added in the Summer Cup at Uttoxeter (3m2f); regained the winning thread back there in July (cheekpieces removed; Hang In There third) in a race that rather fell apart but that would have boosted his confidence; strong claims off an unchanged mark.

J: Jonathan England

T: Sam England

He won two in a row in the summer (3m2f/2m7f, good) but was pulled up at Cheltenham (3m1f, good) in October and soundly beaten in the Rehearsal at Newcastle (2m7f, good) last time; needs to bounce back.

Form & Verdict
8-16 over fences; gained a deserved win when landing the Summer Cup at Uttoxeter (3m2f, good to soft) in June after some solid seconds in the spring/summer and had a plausible excuse when returning there off this mark last month when just over 10l third behind Kinondo Kwetu (failed to settle having found no cover); that gives good reason to believe he could gain his revenge over this slightly shorter trip.

J: Gavin Sheehan

9-28 over fences, the latest win gained at Chepstow (2m7f, good to firm) in October; below that form three times on good to soft ground since but didn't run badly on penultimate appearance and will be better suited by the forecast good ground here; might be the answer.

J: Rian Corcoran

Strike-rate of 9-27 over fences and his third in a veterans' chase at Newbury in February (3m2f) was encouraging given he had been absent for three months and good to soft ground would have been slow enough; should run well.

Successful in similar event at Chepstow in October (penultimate start) and returns from another break with Rian Corcoran taking off a useful 7lb; however, chance largely depends on what the weather does (ideally needs a sound surface).

Form & Verdict
Useful chase form last season and ran well in a Cheltenham handicap hurdle in April (3m, good); wasn't at the same level next time at Haydock and didn't beat a rival home when a 40l last of 13 at Uttoxeter in June; reverts to fences with something to prove.

11st 8lb

J: Liam Harrison

T: Fergal O’Brien

Three-time chase winner with the form to feature off this mark and a break could have done him good, as his last two efforts weren't great; hard to rule out, for all that this trip is on the sharp side.

Form: 21-146 D BF

Form & Verdict
8-18 over fences, the last two wins gained in hunter chases this spring; favourite when 38l sixth of 14 to Hang In There in the Summer Cup over C&D on latest outing, but that was on good to soft and all his wins under rules have been on good ground; 4lb wrong but can't be ruled out with conditions ideal and a capable claimer in the saddle.

12st 6lb

J: Mr Charlie Marshall

T: F A Hutsby

Dual scorer in this sphere granted a sharp 3m and good ground in 2024; outclassed in the big one at Cheltenham this raceday last year and disappointing season either side of that (34l fourth over this C&D); absent since May, but record fresh is generally fair.

Form & Verdict
Running respectably this summer prior to disappointing in last month's Summer Plate at Market Rasen; probably best going this way around and worth a try over this longer trip; out of the weights but considered.

Four good efforts from as many starts for current connections, though once again wasn't quite able to convert a winning opportunity at Huntingdon latest (3m1f, good to firm); fair claims off an unchanged mark, and ought to cope with any rain.

Without a win since summer 2024 and not getting any younger but runner-up three consecutive times (2m7f-3m1f; once over fences) for new stable towards end of last season; probably won't be far away.
