Form & Verdict
Made a successful chase debut over C&D (good) in October 2022 and was 2lb lower than that when winning in good style at Newbury (2m, good) last month; 5lb higher but still a major player, especially if the ground continues to dry out.

Record of 2-2 over C&D (good) includes a neck success off 1lb higher last April; failed to get home over 2m3f on soft ground here last month on return from a break; respected back down in trip.

2-2 over fences here, albeit at 2m; has been off another four months since his Cheltenham reappearance in November, while stamina is another question mark.

Form & Verdict
Well suited to this sort of trip, but looked fortunate to win over C&D on Monday as he was only in third place when the leader fell at the last; more needed under a 7lb penalty, but his rider's 3lb claim negates part of that so should still run his race; stable also runs Le Fauve.

Won four times for the Skeltons but, following a good second on his stable debut here (2m4f, heavy) in December, he has been pulled up on three of his last four starts; hard to fancy.

Ex-Dan Skelton; went close on yard debut in December (2m4f, heavy) but then twice pulled up and was beaten 14l here 18 days ago (good); wouldn't be the percentage call.

J: Benjamin Macey

Ex-Dan Skelton; he has pulled up in his three of his last four races but did go close when he did get round at Uttoxeter in December (2m4f, heavy; effective on good); he's risky but also capable.

Form & Verdict
Successful at around 2m1f over hurdles/fences in Ireland; gave himself little chance of seeing out the trip on stable debut at Newcastle (2m7f, good to soft) last month, but interesting back over this distance with cheekpieces given a go.

J: Daire McConville

T: Charlie Longsdon

Campaigned mostly at about 2m but over this far he ran well for a 125-1 chance to be beaten about 10l in a big-field handicap at the Grand National meeting (under Daire McConville; finished ahead of Sir Galahad); this is not quite so demanding.

Campaigned mostly at about 2m and isn't crying out for this return to further; furthermore, he suffered a heavy defeat at the Cheltenham Festival most recently and this is another difficult task.

Front-runner; convincing Newbury win (2m) under Daire McConville in November before 11l third off this 10lb higher mark behind two well-handicapped rivals at Doncaster (2m, good to soft again) in December; off since; needs better.
