T: Nick Gifford

Pulled up three consecutive times after his two good-ground wins (3m/3m5f) in March 2025; back on a good mark now and was seemingly perked up by first-time visor when close fourth of six (just behind Enjoy d'Allen) at Plumpton (3m1f, good) last month but overall profile remains unconvincing.

Has five wins over fences, including over C&D, but has been pulled up on his last three starts; back on last winning mark and first-time visor now goes on but he comes with risks.

J: James Davies

Won this last year (good) and followed up at Warwick (3m5f, good) a week later; also effective on good to soft ground; pulled up on final two starts last season but can go well fresh and is not ruled out on his return.

Form & Verdict
Market Rasen winner in February and defeat under a penalty came just seven days later; unraced beyond 2m4f but pedigree suggests he could well stay; has started favourite in latest six outings (winning three).

J: Rex Dingle

T: Chris Gordon

Has held his form since February's Market Rasen romp (2m3f, good), equalling rather than surpassing his previous best RPR in last month's narrow defeat upped to a stayer's trip; likely a bit more needed.

J: Tom Cannon

T: Chris Gordon

Rattled off a hat-trick over hurdles last spring; off the mark at the third attempt over fences at Market Rasen in February and he has finished second in both runs since, narrowly giving best to Northern Poet over C&D two weeks ago; should remain competitive but no certainty to reverse the placings.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark as a chaser when responding to pressure at Hereford 16 days ago (2m5f); wore a first-time visor there which is now replaced by cheekpieces (0-5 wearing them); first attempt at this trip and chances if staying.

Won off a career-low chase mark at Fontwell (3m2f, good; refitted cheekpieces) in November and slower ground wouldn't have been ideal the last twice; none too reliable these days at the best of times.

J: Caoilin Quinn

Very inconsistent this season and his win at Fontwell (good ground; 5lb higher today) on penultimate start was over 3m2f; his soft-ground form was two years ago and he pulled up on his only appearance on heavy.

Form & Verdict
Fair effort at Kempton last month and only 3lb higher than when scoring over C&D in December; might not want the ground any quicker than good but this 11yo has perfectly valid claims.

Old-timer who is not easy to predict these days but he got back in the groove with a front-running win here (3m3f, heavy) in January; 6lb higher back on quicker ground but he jumped well last time and remains well treated on his old form; shortlisted.
