Not firing on all cylinders over fences this season and now reverts to hurdling for first time since March 2022; given very good chance by the handicapper and has conditions to suit but needs 119-day break to have done him good.

J: Jonathan Burke

T: Tom George

Won three of first four hurdles at 2m-2m2f (soft/heavy); fair start to chase career in late 2021 but wasn't seen again for over a year and never involved at Hereford in December (2m, soft) when given time to overcome some rusty early jumps; still has potential and should come on for the run.

3-5 over hurdles in 2020-21 season and made quite encouraging chasing debut in November 2021; subsequent 410-day absence is an obvious concern but he should still have potential.

Gamaret

J: Charlie Deutsch

Very lightly raced 7yo who created pretty good impression when pushed-out winner on seasonal, chase and handicap debut at Newbury (2m, soft) in December; no match for impressive winner when second at Sandown (1m7f, good to soft) last month but could have significant untapped potential over today's longer trip and remains very much of interest.

T: Jonjo & A J O’Neill

Easily the most experienced over fences, and a 2m4f win here (good) off 17lb higher rounded off a spring 2024 hat-trick; no successes since, however, and it's a push to say this step up to 3m has long been needed.

Completed chase hat-trick in spring 2024 but generally disappointing since; May's second of three at Ludlow (2m4f, good) was encouraging but she's been soundly beaten since and was weak in the market when an early casualty over C&D last month; easy to look elsewhere.

Verdict

There may be little between Hooligan and Llandinabo Lad on this occasion (preferred in that order) but it is hard to escape the claims of GAMARET after his emphatic C&D win last month.[Jonathan Neesom]
