Pic DOrhy

11st 8lb

J: Harry Cobden

T: Paul Nicholls

Won this in 2023 (soft) and clear runner-up to subsequent King George winner Banbridge in this 12 months ago; posted his second Grade 1 win in the Ascot Chase last February; not at his best when winning on reappearance at Ascot in November but could improve for the run and he's the one to beat.

J: Freddie Gingell

T: Paul Nicholls

Frequently finishes placed, including in Grade 1s and when runner-up on October's reappearance in the Old Roan Handicap at Aintree (2m4f, good; versatile ground-wise); he's won just one of his last 17 starts but receives 6lb from stablemate and leading player Pic D'Orhy and he could be in the mix.
