11st 2lb

J: Freddie Gordon

T: Chris Gordon

Returned from long absence with two below-par runs over 3m2f at Newbury towards end of last year, albeit first was in major handicap; well handicapped on old form and should be fine stamina-wise on cross-country debut but would appeal more on good ground and others have much less to prove

Performed well (won and good second) in two major handicaps in the 2023-24 campaign, then missed last season; never better than midfield in the Coral Cold Cup over C&D on reappearance but may do better with that outing under his belt.

J: Freddie Gordon

T: Chris Gordon

Performed well in major handicaps over 3m at Doncaster (won gamely) and 3m4f at Sandown (close second off current mark) in the 2023-24 campaign; absent since, however, and returns as a 10yo; it remains to be seen whether he retains full ability.

J: Freddie Gordon

Won Great Yorkshire Chase at Doncaster (3m, good) in January and that form has been franked by the runner-up; soft ground against him next time; fair sixth in this race last year (good to soft) and he may be able to improve upon that finishing position if good going prevails this afternoon.

J: Miss Gina Andrews

T: Chris Gordon

Dual course winner who looked as good as ever when winning Great Yorkshire Handicap Chase at Doncaster (3m, good) last time and the runner-up has franked the form; a 7lb rise may not prevent another good run but the ground is likely to be key (well beaten in this race last year on soft).
