Form & Verdict
Two-time hurdle winner (including here) who built on the promise of his C&D chase debut (good to soft) when winning over C&D (soft) in December; soundly beaten over C&D (heavy) later that month but has had a 50-day break and it will be no surprise if he bounces back with a good run.

T: N W Alexander

Dual winner over 2m4f on soft ground in 2024-25 season but has been rather inconsistent and didn't offer enough when fifth of seven over C&D (good) three weeks ago to suggest he's likely to cash in on his reduced mark now.

Dual winner over 2m4f on soft ground last season; has been rather inconsistent since wind surgery this term; has won over this trip, but perhaps better at shorter and has no easy task from 3lb out of the handicap.

He's down to a dangerous mark and showed some spark at Haydock in December three starts ago; however, two disappointing performances have followed from this 10yo and he needs to get back on track.

Form & Verdict
Point, bumper and novice hurdle winner who stayed on for a good third on chase debut at Bangor (2m4f, good to soft) in October and was a fair third from out of the handicap at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in December; runs off proper mark here and could be suited by the step up in trip.

Has won a couple of Class 3 chases, three-milers at Ludlow (good to soft) and Kempton (good); has shown that he can live with current mark but the depth of today's race demands a career best from him.

Well suited by sharp/flat tracks, as his C&D win (on good ground) last May confirms; Cheltenham wasn't his thing in November and he duly bounced back at Ludlow (3m, soft; close second) last month; solid claims in another favourable scenario.

J: Sam Twiston-Davies

T: Mel Rowley

Dropped away after forcing the pace at Cheltenham a month ago when perhaps in need of the run; struck form in the spring, winning over C&D (good to soft) and following up at Kempton (good); 8lb higher than latterly but only a 7yo with just 11 runs behind him; considered.

Form & Verdict
Won over hurdles here (2m5f, good to soft) in March 2021; hasn't matched that form over fences but bumped into subsequent Grade 1 winner Thyme Hill when second of three at Exeter (3m, good) in November last time and he's a strong candidate for his top yard now back in a handicap.

Form & Verdict
He's 7lb out of the handicap and was pulled up behind Hold The Note over C&D (soft) in December; however, he won a novice hurdle here (2m5f, good) last May and was a promising third over C&D (good to soft) on his chase debut in October; this 6yo remains lightly raced and retains potential.

Form & Verdict
Having tumbled down the weights he won over C&D (soft) in December; his profile is patchy nowadays and he was soundly beaten over C&D next time, then fell at Doncaster most recently; however, he's not ruled out off just 2lb higher than for his C&D win; seems versatile ground-wise.
