Dual course winner who looked as good as ever when winning Great Yorkshire Handicap Chase at Doncaster (3m, good) last time and the runner-up has franked the form; a 7lb rise may not prevent another good run but the ground is likely to be key (well beaten in this race last year on soft). |

Often well found in the market and yet has gone 0-10 since a successful debut over fences; looks handicapped about right but could have a fitness edge on some of these for his bang-in-form Irish trainer and conditions will be more suitable than when it was soft in the Kerry National last time. |

Very useful in his prime but lightly raced and inconsistent in recent years; ran quite well when third at Taunton (3m4f, soft) in March but was behind Certainly Red when safely held at Sandown in April and others in this line-up appeal more; had another wind op (his third) during the summer. |

10st 6lb |
Only one win from 13 starts as a chaser, so the chances are that he will come up a bit short once again; however, the win (March 2023) was over 3m7f and the last two of his eight seconds over fences came on soft ground at Punchestown (3m7f; pipped) this May and Kelso (4m Borders National; first-time cheekpieces) 19 days ago; there's no doubting his stamina. |
