J: Callum Pritchard

T: Chris Down

Multiple winner over hurdles and fences; went down narrowly after a break at Uttoxeter (2m5f, good) and he's hard to knock, other than the handicapper knowing all about him.

J: Bryan Carver

T: Chris Down

Jumped well and dominated from the front at Exeter (2m3f, good) this month, his sixth chasing success, and is still on a workable mark after a 4lb rise; however, this race may not pan out so favourably for him and the forecast slower ground is not ideal either.

J: Bryan Carver

T: Chris Down

Five-time chase winner, including this race in 2023 (good to firm); has rather mixed record this year but ran quite well on last two outings (cheekpieces added last time); will have something to prove if the ground is slower than good to soft but, otherwise, he's a leading contender.
