J: Sean Bowen

T: Mickey Bowen

Easily won four-runner contest at Ffos Las (2m3f, soft) on stable/chase debut in January but was probably fortunate that day and not much has gone to plan since; never competitive after early jumping errors over the big Aintree fences last month and arrives here with a bit to prove; cheekpieces refitted.

J: Dylan Johnston

T: Mickey Bowen

Capitalised on the favourite falling three out to win in small field at Ffos Las (2m3f, soft) in January on stable debut and pulled up/well beaten on both runs since; hard to fancy on the face of it but his yard has an excellent record in this race over the years, so he's not a forlorn hope.

Back from 193 days off when a 16l fourth to Somespring Special at Newton Abbot (2m5f) and ran as though that race would bring him on; that was his best effort yet since leaving Emma Lavelle, for whom he was competitive off higher marks; trip/ground fine.

Progressive for Emma Lavelle last term, winning this off today's mark and backing it up with solid placed efforts; however, he's struggled for this yard (early unseat in Kerry National, pulled up at Chepstow and tailed off at Cheltenham when last seen in October) and now has something to prove.

J: Harry Reed

T: Tristan Davidson

Career bests on the RPR front in his last two races, winning at Kelso (2m5f) and close up at Aintree (2m4f; again on good); could run well, though a nagging concern that he didn't appear to stay 3m when he tried it once before (at this track).

Raced exclusively over hurdles since finishing second in Cartmel hunter chase on rules debut in spring 2024; caused 50-1 shock at 2025 Punchestown festival and has been placed twice in today's headgear combination here this spring (2m4f/3m2f); contender if able to transfer that form to fences.

Finished strongly to beat Jet Of Dreams on last summer's chasing debut but his three subsequent runs for Dan Skelton were somewhat underwhelming and he was sold for £10,000 in the autumn; makes stable debut after seven-month break; market may guide.

Dual C&D winner who returned from break with two low-key runs in February/March; usually knocks about in lower-grade races than this but returns to this track on a workable mark (even from 3lb out of the weights) and is versatile regarding ground.
