10st 6lb |
Surged back to peak for at Ayr (2m4f, good to soft) on Friday, coming from off the pace to win readily by over 4l; effectively 10lb higher from out of the weights here but still worth his place in the line-up. |

Won four times earlier in the season (2m5f/2m4f, good/good to soft) and, following a below-par spell, he was an encouraging fifth at Newbury (2m4f, good) recently; could build on that latest effort and top trainer has won four of the last seven runnings of this race; firmly in calculations. |

Fell in his first two chases but has got his act together since and was very creditable third behind subsequent Grade 1 winner Caldwell Potter in C&D (good to soft) novices' handicap at last month's festival; not yet fully exposed; major player off same mark today. |

Pulled up three consecutive times during the winter but reportedly appreciated the better ground when winning at Newbury (2m4f, good) last month; effectively 7lb higher from 3lb out of the weights here but remains lightly raced over fences. |

Won a four-runner handicap on his chase debut at Ascot (2m3f, good) in November; pulled up on all three starts since, which casts a major cloud even though a return to good ground today would presumably be a benefit. |

Not much went to plan at the festival last month but he recovered well from a last-fence error to win narrowly over C&D (soft) on Trials day in January and will also be suited by today's faster ground; 3lb out of the weights but good 5lb claimer Callum Pritchard is booked; might be the answer. |

Grade 2 novice chase winner last season; seen only once this term, when well-held fifth in Kempton handicap (2m4f, good to soft) in February, and has more to prove than some of these but might be aided by the refitted cheekpieces. |

Made it 3-3 here (good-soft) when landing the Grade 2 Pendil Novices' Chase on this card 12 months ago (C&D); well beaten in Aintree Grade 1 in April and absent since (found to be lame); returns minus the cheekpieces worn the last twice but with yard in fine form; no surprise to see a big run. |

Kept on too stoutly for odds-on stablemate in three-runner Grade 2 at Gowran (2m4f, soft) in February and is now 3-10 over fences; current handicap mark probably demands another career-best performance but he should handle today's faster ground. |

C&D beginners chase winner is 2-9 over fences; last won a Listed chase at Thurles in November 2023; has shaped okay in two runs this season, beaten 15l into third of 7 in a Tramore Grade 3 and then chasing home Appreciate It in a Thurles Grade 2; gets 5lb from his two rivals here and he could prove to be the main danger to his stablemate. |

Effective on all ground; some sterling efforts at about 2m4f on both courses here but he's been beaten about 9l in the last two runnings of this and these weights don't suggest he's well enough treated to fare better; first-time blinkers replace regular cheekpieces. |

Career highlight when winning December Gold Cup over C&D (soft) in 2023; yet to reach peak form this season and not always a fluent jumper but his third in the 2024 December Gold Cup was a respectable effort and, if he avoids serious jumping errors, he can be dangerous off current mark; usually held up. |

At his best on this track but although he acts on good and good to soft his strongest form is on soft, as when runner-up in this race two years ago and for his latest win, over C&D in December 2023; not enough easing in the weights to compensate and looks vulnerable for the win; cheekpieces refitted for the first time since last March. |

Quirky customer who tends to idle when in front; cajoled to narrow success by Kielan Woods at Wetherby (1m7f, good to soft) in December and will be fine over today's longer trip but his last two runs were below par and others in the line-up are much less risky. |
