T: Robbie Llewellyn

Scored twice over fences (around 3m) in March 2024; back from two years off in good nick, runner-up over 3m2f at Chepstow last month; can race off the same mark here so he's a player with Harry Cobden taking over.

Not an unlucky loser, but may have run Broomfields Cave closer at Wincanton latest without pecking two out (3m1f, good); respected now back on track, though notably remains winless around a galloping track.

J: Charlie Price

T: Robbie Llewellyn

Completed a double over fences at Taunton (2m7f, soft) in March 2024 but he's returned from 690 days off with two underwhelming runs (hurdles/chase) this spring; looks well handicapped on his old form but he needs to raise his game on this drop back in trip.

Form & Verdict
Won here last autumn on first two chase starts (2m7f/2m4f, good) before solid third at Newcastle (2m7f, good); different ground today but he was going okay when unseating seven out at Ffos Las (3m, heavy) last month; wears first-time cheekpieces and he's one to consider.

J: Gavin Sheehan

Has had three wind operations and tends to go well when fresh, so might not improve markedly on his latest second at Haydock (3m4f, good) after 144 days away; still ran well though and assured stamina will come in handy.

Has had three wind operations, two of them last year; won four-runner race over C&D (good) when upped in trip last March and ran creditably on next two starts; not disgraced at Ascot in November when last seen; has a good record when returning from a break, so goes on the shortlist.

J: Mr B O’Neill

T: Jamie Snowden

Won twice (3m/3m4f) during fairly light campaign last season and signed off with creditable second of 14 on New course here (3m4f, good) in April, form that was recently boosted by the winner; had another wind op (his third) during the summer; likely contender.

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced 5yo who won comfortably on his chase debut at Auteuil (2m1f, very soft) last May; however, unable to replicate that form on his three British starts (over fences the last twice); has to raise his game.

Having dropped down the weights he returned to form with a close second at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) last May; absent since; in the shake-up if resuming where he left off; it's a long time since he raced on soft/heavy ground but he won on soft going in October 2023.

Form & Verdict
His jumping lacked fluency when he was tailed off on chase debut at Market Rasen on Boxing Day; something to prove over fences but he's a four-time winner over hurdles here (soft/good) and the return to this track could prompt a big performance.
