11st 10lb

J: Paddy Brennan

T: Fergal O’Brien

Stout stayer who was runner-up in the 2021 Welsh National; off for 20 months after next outing but quickly found his form for new yard and he was the freshest horse in the race when galloping on relentlessly at Newbury (3m2f, heavy) ten days ago; however, a penalty takes him back to a career-high mark which will be hard to overcome at this level.

J: Mr Tom Broughton

T: Fergal O’Brien

Former Welsh National runner-up; has run well in both completed handicaps since joining this yard after an absence, last time hanging around in the attritional Grand National Trial at Haydock (3m4f, heavy); that was a hard race only two weeks ago but he's a player if fully recovered from those exertions.

First run over these fences; runner-up in the 2021 Welsh National for Paul Nicholls and this 10yo returned from a very long absence with a creditable second of six on his stable debut at Kelso (3m2f, soft) in October; he's on a competitive mark on his old form and is not ruled out.
