J: Derek Fox

T: Andrew Hamilton

0-6 over hurdles when trained by Gordon Elliott but finished well from poor position to cause 28-1 surprise here (2m4f, good) on stable/chase debut in six weeks ago; it's probably wise to treat that form with a degree of caution but today's step up in trip ought to suit him.

J: Callum Bewley

T: Lisa Harrison

Four-time C&D winner; returned from break with two low-key runs this spring (hurdle/chase) but may have been aided by refitted cheekpieces when running big race in defeat here (2m4f, good) ten days ago; up in grade today but still on a good mark and this return to 3m is sure to suit.

Veteran who gained four of his six chase wins over C&D and is versatile regarding ground; well beaten when 50-1 for 2m4f hurdle here last month, after a layoff, but that was also the case before he bounced back to form and finished second in this race a year ago; can't be ignored.

J: Gregor Walkingshaw

T: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore

Infrequent winner (2-40); has plied his trade exclusively over fences since May 2024, lacking for fluency when runner-up to Conquer The Breeze here (2m) last month; monitor only, with Lets Mingle the pick of the Russell & Scudamore trio.

Better at this trip than the 2m4f over which he was third here ten days ago, but even when on a good day he's become extremely hard to win with (1-24 as a chaser and 2-39 overall); the clear plus is that he won this last year off 5lb higher.
