11st 6lb

J: Derek Fox

T: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore

Prone to making a bad blunder and arrives with something to prove following heavy defeats on his last two starts; however, he hasn't been devoid of promise this season and he'll be a major player if tapping back into the promise shown when romping to victory at last season's Cheltenham Festival.

10st 13lb

J: Derek Fox

T: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore

Mistakes were costly on first two runs this term and he was pulled up at Haydock (extended 3m4f, good to soft) 24 days ago; not easy to fancy on the back of that but stamina may well have been an issue and he was hugely impressive when making all by 11l in this race last March (good to soft); might take plenty of catching, even now 15lb higher, if rediscovering that same dominant form.

10/1

Form: P-2122 C

Last run: 49 days

W: 11st 10lb

8 yo Gelding

OR: 133

Form & Verdict
Has form figures of 2122 since switched to chasing, proving consistent on RPRs until a below-par effort (25l behind Grand Albert) at Wetherby last time; may rebound and put up a better fight in the rematch.

Pulled up over fences at Kelso when last seen out having won a Carlisle handicap chase (3m, good) in October; runs over hurdles for the first time for more than two years (C&D winner in October 2023); second run after wind op.

J: Danny McMenamin

T: Ann Hamilton

Not really firing on all cylinders since scrambling home by a neck on seasonal debut at Carlisle (3m, good) in October but now 6lb below that mark, and didn't run badly when last of five finishers here (3m2f, good to soft) in March; had another wind op (his third) soon after that latest outing; one to consider.

Dare To Shout

11st 5lb

J: Danny McMenamin

T: Ann Hamilton

Last win was off a higher mark and he'll appreciate returning to further after chasing home a good thing over 2m4f at Ayr (soft; fine on good ground); that was a welcome return to form; definite chance if he can back it up.

6/1

Form: 212-31 D

Form & Verdict
Consistent and steadily progressive; beat Dare To Shout by 25l at Wetherby (3m; handicap debut, second chase attempt) most recently, adding to his point/hurdle wins; hit with a 10lb rise but still respected.

J: Theo Gillard

T: Donald McCain

He hasn't always been pretty over his fences but the cheekpieces might be helping in that respect and he's stayed on strongly at Haydock on his last two starts, over 3m1f and 3m4f; although behind some of these last time, he was digging in at the finish and this extreme stamina test might be up his street; very at home on soft ground.

J: Sean Bowen

T: Donald McCain

He's had jumping issues but was better in that department in first-time cheekpieces (retained) in the Tommy Whittle here (extended 3m1f, soft) in December, and the way he kept on for fifth of 12 behind Grand Geste (beaten about 14l) hints this step up in trip may be a good move; each-way chance.

Form & Verdict
Consistent results over hurdles since returning from absence, close second at Ayr (3m) the last twice; possibilities if transferring the form back to fences but caution is urged (chase record reads F3F).

Went close in this last year (soft) and now 10lb lower; however, this 10yo has struggled to get competitive since, most recently over C&D (soft) four weeks ago following wind surgery; a visor replaces cheekpieces.
