12st 0lb

J: Mr Daniel Williams

T: Nicky Henderson

Disappointing favourite back at the Cheltenham Festival (2m4f); otherwise a useful sort and had returned to form with close second at Windsor the time before; not written off, albeit has stamina to prove back up in distance.

J: Freddie Gordon

T: Nicky Henderson

Best on good/good to soft; has notable C&D form, namely a respectable seventh (best of the runners who raced prominently) in this contest last year and emphatic success next time; unlucky second at Windsor on New Year's Day when last seen; back on career-high mark but looks solid.

Made good progress last season, signing off with 6l win at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) in April, but not much has gone to plan this term and others in this line-up have less to prove.

J: Freddie Gordon

T: Nicky Henderson

Showed progress with three wins last season, including by 6l at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) final start; couple of non-completions this term, disappointing at Newbury (3m) latest, but it's too soon to write off this Henderson hurdler.

11st 6lb

J: Freddie Gordon

T: Nicky Henderson

Three wins from four runs in December-April last season, ending with a 6l win at Cheltenham; all of those were at up to about 2m5f, as was his recent reappearance at Cheltenham (favourite) where he fell at halfway, but he's a brother to Surrey Quest who was touched off in the 2024 Scottish National, which doesn't make this first go at 3m look too daunting; player.
