11st 9lb

J: Bryan Carver

T: Chris Down

C&D winner in February 2024 (good) when 9lb lower; confined to only two runs since, finishing third in a big field at Uttoxeter but tailed off there two weeks ago after jumping out to the right; back here, and given the promise of that penultimate effort, he's dangerous to dismiss.

11st 3lb

J: Freddie Gordon

T: Chris Down

10lb higher than for his Taunton win (2m2f, good; fine on softer) but was very creditable third of 16 when reappearing from a long absence over C&D a month ago; if going the right way from there he should have a part to play on just his fourth chase start.

11st 8lb

J: Bryan Carver

T: Chris Down

Lightly raced 8yo who build upon promising debut when winning by over 8l at Taunton (2m2f, good) in February 2024; not seen again since, though, and entitled to benefit from today's outing.

10st 11lb

J: Bryan Carver

T: Chris Down

Ten-race maiden; runner-up over hurdles at Exeter (2m2f, soft) in December and finished strongly to fill same position on last month's chasing debut there (2m3f, heavy); may not be suited by the faster ground here, though, and others appeal more.
