All chase wins around 2m4f, including win at this meeting last year; Newbury specialist who landed fourth win at that track when bagging valuable handicap for second time on penultimate start; never won off a mark this high and drop back down to 2m also asks a question but he's impossible to rule out.

Back to something like his best last time, registering a second success in the Greatwood Gold Cup and taking C&D record to 4-6; won this contest in 2023 and 2024; back up the weights but commands respect kept to a scenario that suits him ideally.

J: Charlie Todd

Record of 3-5 at Newbury features a success in this contest two years ago; proved no match for Twinjets in most recent course start and was a faller in last two handicap attempts (out of depth in Grade 1 since); however, holds a major chance off current mark provided he's in top form.

Useful on his day but has done most of his racing in handicaps and this first crack at Grade 1 level presents a much tougher assignment; no certainty to get round either, having been a faller on last two starts, taking record this season to 0-7; latest tumble was over C&D.

Now back to last winning mark and it looks as if he retains all his ability, coming from well back when second at Newbury on return and only a few lengths down when falling two out at Aintree on Boxing Day; versatile ground-wise and this sort of trip is ideal; interesting under 7lb claimer.
