Form & Verdict
Multiple winner in points and over regulation fences; tailed off in two handicaps back with Fergal O'Brien but they were Class 2s and this is far less demanding; dropped 6lb for those defeats and he's usually held up, whereas his two rivals like to force the issue.

Cheltenam De Vaige

11st 10lb

J: Mr Tom Broughton

T: Fergal O’Brien

2m6f novice hurdle winner for this stable last summer prior to finishing a 21l second back over fences at Fontwell (3m2f, good) in September; needs to improve on a couple of modest efforts in points this year for Hannah Lewis now back under rules over fences and returned to his former stable; likely to prove vulnerable for the win to a less exposed type.

Form & Verdict
Winning for an eighth time over fences at Ludlow in May (3m1f, good) and back to the same mark now despite running creditably since then; likes to lead and could take some reeling in.

J: Adam Wedge

T: Martin Keighley

Bold-jumping front-runner who is best suited by good ground; proved he retains a significant chunk of ability when scoring at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) in July, his ninth chase win, but has become very inconsistent and needs to bounce back from two poor performances.

OR: 111

Form & Verdict
Won back-to-back 2m7f handicap chases at Worcester this summer; 6lb higher than for the latest of those but a greater concern would be his subsequent form, over fences and hurdles; capable but risky.

Won this race in 2024 (soft ground) but never really got going last season and was very disappointing favourite in a point last month, after a layoff; now a teenager and needs to prove he still has what it takes.
