Corbetts Cross

11st 10lb

J: Jack Kennedy

T: Emmet Mullins

Strong stayer who made short work of his rivals in the National Hunt Chase here (3m6f, heavy) last March and showed he could do more than just grind away when close up in the Bowl (3m1f, soft) at Aintree after; unable to go with Banbridge in the home straight in the King George at Kempton (3m) on Boxing Day and his pace was again lacking over 2m5f at Ascot (good) last month, but this test can see him back in a good place; a dollop of rain would help but he isn't a forlorn hope.

Corbetts Cross

11st 10lb

J: Mark Walsh

T: Emmet Mullins

Second-season chaser who never landed a blow in good-ground King George last time (raced mostly on soft/heavy otherwise); not short of stamina, having been successful over 3m6f at the 2024 Cheltenham Festival, but his last attempt over 2m5f resulted in a win; major player provided he copes with the return to this distance and shows best form.

J: Mr Derek O’Connor

T: Emmet Mullins

Bolted up in NH Chase at Cheltenham (3m6f, heavy) in March before good third in Grade 1 Bowl at Aintree (3m1f, soft); highly likely he needed his October comeback run; the hood worn on last three runs is left off; some improvement is probably needed and he's unproven on the forecast good ground, but he's only seven and is in excellent hands; no surprise to see a big run.

J: Mark Walsh

T: Emmet Mullins

Smart hurdler and an even better novice chaser last term when stamina at a premium, winning Grade 2 National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham and bettering that when third behind much more experienced rivals in 3m1f Grade 1 Aintree Bowl; could develop into a Gold Cup contender given further progress this season and good starting point here.
