10st 7lb

J: Jack Tudor

T: Nick Scholfield

Ex-Irish 11yo (six races for current yard) who has not won since 2022 but went close with first-time cheekpieces (kept since) over 3m2f at Newbury in February; second of three at Ascot (3m) in another veterans' race next time was creditable in the end, after he'd been detached at one point; that helps to envisage him as a stayer but he jumped poorly on heavy in Scottish National (40-1, pulled up) last week and this race also looks tough.

J: Sean Bowen

T: Nick Scholfield

Ex-Irish 11yo (five races for current yard) who has not won since July 2022 but nearly put that right in first-time cheekpieces (kept since) over 3m2f at Newbury in February, losing out in the final strides; second of three at Ascot (3m) three weeks ago was creditable in the end, after he'd been detached at one point, and that helps to envisage him as a stayer, but this race is so much tougher.

11st 8lb

J: Sean Bowen

T: Nick Scholfield

Ex-Irish 11yo (four races for current yard) who has not won since July 2022 but so nearly put that right in first-time cheekpieces at Newbury four weeks ago when Copperhead wrested back the advantage in the final strides; back up 4lb and Sean Bowen takes over; clearly capable of a bold show.

10st 6lb

J: Mr Freddie Keighley

T: Nick Scholfield

Ex-Irish 11yo who is on a long losing spell but brings notable recent form, having posted best effort for new yard when third in the latest final of this series (penultimate start); possibilities off current mark, provided he takes well to first-time cheekpieces.

10st 12lb

J: James Bowen

T: Nick Scholfield

Acts on heavy; left Henry de Bromhead for £10,000 last May; best known as a useful chaser but more inconsistent in the last three seasons, including over hurdles; close third over fences here (3m) on latest start was his best form for a long time and he'd have a big chance if that is repeated off this 4lb lower mark, but no win since 2022 and he's now an 11yo.
