Flashes of smart form for Willie Mullins but a 10yo now and hasn't yet threatened a breakthrough win for the Moores; needed to run a lot better than he did at Kempton two weeks ago.

Two from two at Kempton, namely Class 2 wins over 2m4f in February (good to soft) and March (good) during a spell in blinkers; respected back here, assuming the removal of headgear doesn't backfire.

Useful handicap chaser at up to 2m5f, albeit quirky and having saved his winning in this sphere for Kempton; admittedly right up to best in Ascot contest on penultimate start; last two efforts suggest this new trip is worth exploring but he comes with some risk, especially in such a competitive field.

Has his quirks but talented and his win in this last year was the first of three victories at this track (2m2f-2m4f); he's close to a career-high mark, off which he went close last month at Ascot (2m5f, soft) despite looking disinterested early doors; a danger to all.

J: Ben Jones

Wasn't going from some way out when favourite behind Etalon here last time but he'd previously won comfortably at Kempton (2m2f, good) and run creditably in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham (2m4f, soft) where the hill proved too much; still relatively young; 5lb better off with Etalon and could turn the tables.

Form & Verdict
Defied higher marks twice last term and commenced current campaign with a creditable effort; not in the same form since, hence dropping in weights; needs a revival.

All eight jump wins have been at around 2m; lost his chance by jumping right when stepped up to 2m4f at Aintree last time (finished a well-beaten sixth); will be better going right-handed; 21lb lower than for his last win (August 2024) and stable in form, but a bit to prove.

T: Anthony Honeyball

Always comes with risk, given his jumping often lacks fluency and that he apparently needs to be held up in rear, but he's effectively 7lb lower than when keeping on well for second in valuable Ascot handicap (2m1f, good) in November and will be suited by this return to forecast good ground; blinkered for last two runs; cheekpieces tried today.

None too consistent and was only fifth in this last year; however, very capable of being competitive on his best form and the first-time blinkers appeared to be working until he clouted two out here a month ago in the race won by Mighty Bandit; could run well.

Successful (off 7lb lower) in this contest two years ago but needs to rebound, having performed poorly in latest start; chance partly depends on how well he reacts to added blinkers.
