Form & Verdict
Bounced back to form with hard-fought win from the front on recent reappearance outing at Cartmel (2m1f, good to soft) and is now 10-33 over fences; has 7lb penalty here (only due a 2lb rise) but remains well handicapped on form as recent as last summer and ought to be better suited by the forecast quicker ground here.

J: Sean Bowen

T: Gary Hanmer

Good-ground specialist with 11 chase wins on his CV, including 2025 edition of this race; shaped well before weakening into fourth at Bangor (2m1f, good) this month, after a layoff, and can make a bold bid from the front under Sean Bowen.

T: Gary Hanmer

Good-ground specialist who made all in small field at Wetherby (1m7f, good) on latest outing in the autumn, his 11th chase success; won when fresh last spring but is slightly out of the weights here and may find younger rivals better handicapped.

Ten-time chase winner, mainly on good ground; pulled up soon after mid-race jumping error last time but won at Cartmel (2m1f, good to soft) in the spring and was a creditable second at Uttoxeter (2m, good) two starts ago; can make his presence felt.

Form & Verdict
Five-time hurdle winner who opened her chasing account at the third attempt, in three-runner contest at Huntingdon (2m, good) last month; probably still on a workable mark after recent 3lb rise and this track also suits.

Not really firing on all cylinders since returning from a break in the autumn and has developed a tendency to finish rather weakly but comes here after two respectable 2m4f thirds this spring (cheekpieces added last time) and continues to edge down the weights.

11st 11lb

J: Harry Skelton

T: Dan Skelton

Dual chase winner who was ridden much closer to the pace than is often the case when very respectable third behind Abingworth at Warwick (2m4f, good) last month; remains on a workable mark and features prominently in calculations; cheekpieces (tried once in early 2024) refitted.

OR: 105

Form & Verdict
Now back on same mark as for last summer's win at Cartmel (2m1f, soft) and will be fine on the forecast faster ground here but needs to up his game after some below-par hurdle/chase runs this spring.
