Began this campaign with 3m1f Aintree handicap win in December (good-to-soft) but hasn't repeated that sort of form in three runs since, including treated for post-race heat stress after Eider Chase fifth; most recently never nearer fourth under top-weight in lesser 3m2f Kelso contest; more needed but not one to rule out.

T: Jonjo & A J O’Neill

Did well last season; kicked off this campaign with a 3l win at Aintree (3m1f, good to soft) on Boxing Day and didn't run badly in valuable races on next two outings, last time in the Eider after which he was treated for post-race heat stress; he was joint-favourite for that and this race isn't as demanding.

10st 2lb

J: Richie McLernon

T: Jonjo & A J O’Neill

Second-season chaser who was hot favourite at Sandown three weeks ago but disappointing in third behind the runaway winner; however, that followed a winning reappearance at Aintree (3m1f, good to soft) on Boxing Day and last season's positive signals included his second over 3m4f at Windsor (soft) on his only attempt beyond 3m1f; those make him a plausible candidate.

10st 2lb

J: Harry Cobden

T: Jonjo & A J O’Neill

Acts on soft ground, unseated rider in sole attempt on heavy; second-season chaser who justified favouritism at Aintree (3m1f, good to soft) on Boxing Day for a winning reappearance, taking record in this sphere to 2-7 and overall strike-rate to 5-12; open to further improvement and runs off a low weight in this higher grade; major player.
