Form & Verdict
Well handicapped on best hurdle form but hasn't yet offered much over fences, the last twice (at about 2m4f on soft and good ground) following a long absence; cheekpieces are added but hard to know what ability he retains; does stay this far.

Not particularly consistent but won at Huntingdon early last month (2m4f, good) and would have a chance on that form; however, pulled up when favourite at Fakenham last time having reportedly made a respiratory noise.

Well below best last season but exploited some help from the handicapper when winning in pretty good style at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) this month; even after a 5lb rise, he's still 5lb lower than when winning this race in 2025; good chance.

J: Tom Cannon

Well handicapped if judged on his two good-ground wins in cheekpieces last spring (2m7f/2m5f) but has been well below best (in various headgear) in recent months; ran well for a long way before weakening quickly at Market Rasen (3m, good) last time and might benefit from this drop back in trip but others have much less to prove.

No longer the force of old and not always a fluent jumper but won two chases in November (2m7f/2m6f) and was runner-up in three small-field races towards end of last season; suited by good ground and will probably give another good account.

10 yo Gelding

OR: 130

Form & Verdict
Would have every chance if rediscovering the form that saw him win two 3m handicaps at Perth last summer; below par in two runs since finishing fourth on Cheltenham's cross-country course in November but did run over hurdles last time; hard to dismiss.

Gained all seven chase wins at the track, the latest a dead-heat over this trip in April (good ground); on fairly tough mark now but last month's Perth Gold Cup fourth was respectable and he probably won't be far away.

Seeking a hat-trick in this race and on the back of a seventh course success in April when he dead-heated over this trip; not handicapped out of it after just a 3lb rise, for all that he's never defied this high a mark in the past.

Form & Verdict
Having his first run beyond an extended 2m4f when the clear second behind a progressive winner over C&D in early January (good to soft; first-time visor); has won on good ground and the return of blinkers is not a negative; has also run well when fresh in the past.
