J: Sean Bowen

Front-runner whose two wins last year came at Sedgefield when making all; his suspect stamina gave out in a match at Hereford (2m5f, good) 18 days ago but this track back down in trip should play to his strengths; regular hood returns after being omitted last time.

Front-runner; won twice at Sedgefield last year (good to firm/good; up to extended 2m3f) and returned from a break to finish third of five at Plumpton (2m1f, good to soft) in March, not beaten far; could be tough to reel in.

J: David Bass

Won on heavy and soft in France but kept to good or quicker in Britain; front-runner who has a good record at Sedgefield, winning twice there in 2025 (2m and 2m3f); still 5lb higher than the latest of them in October but he can go well fresh so not ruled out back from a break.

8 yo Gelding

OR: 97

Form & Verdict
Won four in a row here in the autumn (two chases, two hurdles) and might well have needed last month's reappearance run at Carlisle; current mark probably demands a career-best performance but he's suited by good ground, and the return to this track is an obvious plus.

Form & Verdict
Failed to complete his first four chases but, from a reduced mark, got his act together on final two starts last season; nudged up only 1lb for his clear second over C&D (good) last month and has obvious claims if in similar form again.

Needs to bounced back from last month's below-par C&D run but he produced a good performance to win by 6l here in March (good ground) and is now only 4lb above that mark; a possible.
