J: Mr Rian Corcoran

T: David Pipe

Six chase wins, the latest here (1m7f, heavy) under Rian Corcoran 19 days ago; still on workable mark after recent 5lb rise and will be fine over today's longer trip but the faster ground is probably not in his favour.

J: Mr Rian Corcoran

T: David Pipe

Five-time chase winner who relishes testing ground; runner-up in his first two starts this season including a close call at Exeter (2m1f, good to soft), but his form cooled at Hereford last time; needs to step up again after that but he remains well treated on his old form.

Five-time chase winner; good second to an unexposed winner at Wincanton on reappearance (2m4f, soft); drops in trip; worth considering.

J: Jack Tudor

T: David Pipe

Gained all five chase wins (one here) during 2023-24 season; inconsistent last term but returns from 263-day absence on workable mark and has possibilities if fully tuned up; cheekpieces (worn for last four races) left off.
