T: Will Biddick

Lightly raced gelding who did well in handicap chases last season for Dan Skelton before losing his way; beaten in two points for current yard and he'll need more here; has won on heavy.

Scored by 8l on seasonal/chase debut at Carlisle (3m2f, good to soft) in October and was placed over 3m on next two outings; finished very weakly when upped to 3m5f at Warwick last month, which is a concern, but could plausibly still have untapped potential over marathon trips.

J: Harry Skelton

T: Dan Skelton

Unexposed 7yo who has already shown himself a dour stayer, as when winning on his return from six months off at Carlisle (3m2f, good to soft) in October; drying ground could pose a question, but the longer trip should suit and he probably still has plenty more to offer.

Improved for the switch to fences when winning by 8l over 3m2f at Carlisle (good to soft) and coped well on the step up to Class 3 level when third back there off a 7lb higher mark; up another 2lb but that latest race has worked out well with the front two successful since; good shout despite the big weight.
