J: Jonathan Burke

T: David Dennis

Veteran who has turned things around over fences recently, with a win at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) followed by a second on similar ground at Plumpton (3m1f); now returns to hurdling but she's lightly raced in this sphere and looks interesting off the same mark as last time.

J: Tom Bellamy

T: David Dennis

Out of sorts initially this season but she wasn't without her supporters when back to form and winning at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) two weeks ago, and the 5lb rise looks manageable in her follow-up bid; leading contender if in the same frame of mind.

Form & Verdict
Consistent chaser who usually makes the running but was held up when winning at Market Rasen on final appearance in June (2m5f, good); only 3lb higher and able when fresh, but wouldn't want the ground any easier than good to soft.

J: Lewis Stones

Five chase wins, including 2023 edition of this race; pulled up at Fakenham two starts ago but his other three runs this year were very respectable; swaps usual cheekpieces for first-time blinkers; likely to give this a good shot from the front.

J: Lewis Stones

A win and (in this race) a half-length second, each off 2lb lower, to show from two C&D visits (good) last summer; plenty in his favour again once more, though a Fakenham flop latest needs forgiving.

Form & Verdict
Exposed veteran who wasn't in much form until coming good at Plumpton (3m1f, soft) and that race rather fell apart; wouldn't normally be obvious follow-up material but was only raised 3lb and this isn't strong.

None too consistent but he has won five times over fences, latest at Plumpton (3m1f, soft) in February off 3lb lower; beaten a neck back there off this mark last month and his best chance of further success is perhaps back at that venue.

Lightly raced gelding who already looked to be feeling the pinch when a bad mistake four out finished him off on his 2m4f Wincanton chase debut (heavy) a fortnight ago but that was his first outing for nearly 11 months so he's entitled to be sharper now; first-time cheekpieces are also added now stepping up in trip.

Form & Verdict
Six-time Flat winner who went 0-9 over hurdles but ran well to be second on chase debut at Catterick in January (2m3f, good to soft) and might have threatened the winner with a quicker round of jumping; off the same mark here but there are doubts about the trip.

Nine-race maiden over hurdles but has placed form and he won six on the Flat; made a bright start over fences in January but didn't fancy it at Huntingdon and refused early; the cheekpieces are off but wouldn't be a surprise to see him run well.
