Form & Verdict
Struggled to get competitive over fences last season but offered more when third at Newton Abbot (2m5f, soft) two weeks ago having been given wind surgery; needs to build on that but not yet fully exposed and he makes plenty of appeal of the two Tizzard runners.

Pulled up in his final two runs last year but he returned after wind surgery with a front-running win at Fontwell (2m3f, good; 22-1) this month; this is a different test but he won over fences here (3m2f) last spring and 3lb rise for that last success looks fair; respected.

Form & Verdict
Three-time chase winner, with two of those here last month, including over C&D 17 days ago; another 4lb rise will require more but he's versatile regarding ground and looks the most obvious option in his hat-trick bid with questions shadowing a lot of his rivals.

Four wins and two seconds from 11 races at Fontwell; his last success was off this mark over an extended 2m3f in September but he's been well held in all three runs since and needs a major revival; stablemate of All Authorized.

Form & Verdict
Won over fences in France in 2022 but he's yet to get his head in front in Britain after eight attempts; however, he kept on well for a modest second off 6lb higher at Exeter (2m3f, soft) in March and a repeat of that effort would give him place claims at least.

Course regular who has won twice (about 2m3f, good) and been placed on another four occasions from 15 visits; last won just over a year ago but looked to have something to offer when unseating four out in April and it was too far out to tell how she'd have fared when falling, again here, last time; 2lb wrong but she's not dismissed.

Pulled up on her final two outings in 2025 but looked in much better form back from a break here 16 days ago, moving well close to the pace when unseating four out; has won the last two runnings of this race off similar marks and could be set for another bold bid.

Signs of a revival when fourth over fences at Fakenham (2m5f) in January, before 3m5f stretched her (refused at the final fence) on final start for Seamus Mullins; offered little when sent off joint-favourite on stable debut last month; tongue-tie wore then quickly dispensed with and she reverts to hurdles on a workable mark, but with plenty to prove.
