Form & Verdict
Three-time chase winner who ran well when second in this race a year ago (good ground); made just a respectable reappearance last month and probably doesn't have much margin for error off current mark but still features prominently in calculations.

William Cody

11st 12lb

J: Paul O’Brien

T: Pam Sly

Gained three of four chase wins over C&D and returns here after going close on final two starts last season (2m4f/2m3f; wore cheekpieces last time); holds no secrets from the handicapper but will be fine on the forecast good ground and has obvious claims.

J: Jack Andrews

T: Pam Sly

He's run well to be second on two of his last three starts (2m3f/2m4f, good/soft), most recently at Southwell four weeks ago; he's 4lb higher than last time but was clear with a progressive winner; high on the list.

J: Paul O’Brien

T: Pam Sly

Third in this last year; four-time chase winner (all at about this trip) but hasn't scored since November 2024; close second at Catterick (2m3f, good) on penultimate start but lesser efforts either side of that; remains below his last winning mark and holds each-way claims again.

Form & Verdict
Ran quite well when third of five in refitted cheekpieces at Exeter (2m3f, good) last month, after a break, but is seemingly on the downgrade now and was safely held when switched back to hurdling a fortnight ago; blinkers refitted today; others preferred.

2m novice handicap winner here three years ago to the day (good; RPR 129), and several decent placed efforts after; able schoolmaster for Joe Neal in novice rider points lately, getting there in time at Kimble (3m, good to firm) but not quite last time; others a bit more persuasive.

Form & Verdict
Runner-up twice on the Flat in spring and looked as good as ever over hurdles when going very close at Cartmel (2m1f, soft) in August; however, he unseated rider mid-race on last month's rather belated chase debut (3m) and still needs to prove himself in this discipline.

Runner-up on stable debut at Musselburgh (2m, good) in July and he's fine on testing ground; however, this 9yo has failed to threaten on his last two outings and needs something extra today.

Won three Flat races at up to 1m7f when trained in France (including on heavy) and has since won three times over hurdles for Amy Murphy; good second on stable debut at Musselburgh in July (2m, good) but lesser run last time (2m1f, good to soft); each-way chance.

Form & Verdict
Absent since below-par fifth at Ludlow in March but has very good record when fresh and is now 3lb lower than when second on last season's reappearance outing at Sandown (1m7f, soft); rain would aid his cause; must be considered.

J: Sam Twiston-Davies

T: James Owen

Generally in good form for this yard over fences and was in the process of leaving behind a pull-up over hurdles when falling in a handicap chase at Cartmel two weeks ago (2m1f); it was four out so still some way from home, but he's firmly in the reckoning.

Ended a 17-race losing run on his third start for this yard when scoring by 12l in a first-time visor at Market Rasen (2m3f, good) nine days ago; still well treated on older form despite an 11lb rise, but needs to bounce back after pulling up over hurdles here on Friday.

Came good for new stable at third attempt, with 12l success over fences at Market Rasen (2m3f, good; first-time visor) a week ago; only 1lb higher for this return to hurdling and won't mind if there's rain about; major player.

Form & Verdict
Multiple Flat/hurdle winner; left it rather late in the day to launch his chasing career but jumped soundly when very respectable third of five in stronger race than this at Ayr (2m, good) three weeks ago and should be fine over today's longer trip.
