J: Miss Heidi Palin

T: Dan Skelton

Has lots of form in major handicaps, generally at about 2m, but losing spell goes back three years and he looks unlikely to land this hot contest at the age of 11; remote third at Newbury most recently.

J: Miss Heidi Palin

T: Dan Skelton

Missed last term; useful on his day (County winner) but is into the veteran stage and not particularly solid on this season's form, for all that he was placed in the Greatwood; beaten twice in this contest (pulled up in 2023, fifth in 2024).

J: Harry Skelton

T: Dan Skelton

Grand veteran who retains plenty of ability and was third in the Greatwood at Cheltenham (2m, soft) in November; not disgraced in another warm race here (28-1) four weeks ago and this is less competitive; should go well with Harry Skelton returning to the saddle for the first time since a narrow defeat in the Imperial Cup in March 2024.

J: Miss Heidi Palin

T: Dan Skelton

Veteran but retains plenty of ability and he stepped up a good deal on his reappearance run when third to Alexei in the Greatwood at Cheltenham five weeks ago; Heidi Palin keeps the ride; could make the frame again but others appeal more for the win.
