10/3

Comment: Let down by his jumping in February in his third chase; it wasn't great when returned to hurdling either but that was for a C&D win (good) early this month, in just a three-runner race but he's far from the most exposed in this race and has potential as a stayer.

Comment: Came from a long way off the pace to take second in Grade 1 novice at Aintree (3m, good) in April and, at the second attempt, backed up that form when winning a C&D handicap (good) six weeks ago; up 3lb but firmly in charge last time and may well have more to give.

Comment: Completed a hat-trick early last season and better than ever on her latest two starts for wins at Huntingdon (3m1f, good) and Warwick (3m2f, good); up 6lb into a much more competitive race and wears first-time cheekpieces after a fairly workmanlike display from the front last time.

Comment: Second at the big Aintree meeting off 14lb higher mark in April 2023; nothing like so good since and although he staged a partial revival to be competitive with this equipment fitted on last two starts, a close last of three to Roger Pol here latest, he needs to build on that.

Comment: Reliable sort who was runner-up in this race last year; Ludlow (2m5f) in March saw her fourth win over hurdles (all on good ground) and her heavy Haydock defeat in May came in a hot race, but this one is also demanding and she does not look the best handicapped.

Comment: Opened chase account on 11th attempt when winning by 6l at Bangor (3m, soft) and followed up on his return to hurdling at Ballinrobe (2m6f, good); has his tail up but looked a hard ride at times at Bangor and this is a stronger race, in which he's 8lb higher; Patrick M O'Brien has been riding him.
