11st 2lb

J: Harry Skelton

Useful novice chaser whose form features second-place finishes in 3m Grade 2 events at Sandown and Windsor; came up rather short in Grade 1 at Aintree last time but looks one of the main contenders returned to this level.

J: Harry Skelton

T: Dan Skelton

Tends to lead; scored at 1-50 on his chase debut at Warwick in May and impressed when winning by 10l at Exeter (3m, also good) in November; put in his place by Salver on last two starts (good to soft/soft) but comes here fresh having skipped Cheltenham and any drying of the ground would be in his favour; could get them all at it.

11st 7lb

J: Harry Skelton

T: Dan Skelton

Has won on soft but seems ideally suited by faster ground; record of 2-5 since switched to chasing includes a Class 2 win at Exeter (3m) on penultimate start; not disgraced at Sandown latest but was beaten 12l by Salver; 5lb pull looks insufficient in the rematch.

11st 7lb

J: Harry Skelton

Made it 2-4 over fences when comfortably defying a penalty to beat chasing newcomer Quebecois at Exeter (3m, good) four weeks ago; also effective on good to soft ground; leading claims despite conceding 3lb all round.

11st 7lb

J: Harry Skelton

T: Dan Skelton

Fairly useful hurdler who had a straightforward task at Warwick on chase debut; might have bagged Listed honours at Chepstow last time but for lacking fluency at the final fence; however, 5lb penalty means he is not first choice at the weights.
