T: Sam Thomas

Has yet to win beyond 2m1f but he seemed to see this trip out well when fourth to Coole Cody here last month; has an 8lb pull with the winner and he's always looked a more potent force on this drier ground, so wouldn't put it past him to reverse those placings; interesting.

Has some good form for new yard this term, notably a solid second over 2m here in November; lesser effort over 2m4f last time, for all that he stayed on for third (comfortably held); yet to score beyond 2m1f.

Out of his comfort zone from an early stage in a Grade 1 at Sandown last month but finished strongly and may well be worth going back up to this trip; good second to a progressive rival at Cheltenham the time before and seriously considered on that basis.

Reportedly unsuited by the good ground when failing to fire in the Cotswold Chase over 3m1f here last time but has commendable form figures of 112 over this C&D (all on soft ground), including an excellent effort off only 1lb lower on New Year's Day; could do with some rain but he's very much the class act.

Did not seem beaten entirely by lack of stamina over 3m1f at Aintree two starts ago; has a sound record over 2m4f at Cheltenham, including a success on this card in 2020 when with Harry Whittington (followed up at the Festival); good second in Grade 3 handicap back here (soft) on New Year's Day; has the ability to play a big role, provided he's as effective back up in distance.

J: Adam Wedge

An 11yo who has never been better and he can't get enough of this place, enhancing an outstanding record here with victory in one of the Festival handicaps last month; stormed home by more than 6l despite edging right at most of his fences and looking held when headed three out; that was on soft ground and, while he handles this surface fine, he's probably at his best in the mud; another 7lb rise is a further headache.

Acts on soft/heavy; the winner of two major 2m4f handicap chases at Cheltenham, including the Racing Post Gold Cup in December, and he was a creditable fourth (off 2lb lower) in this race 12 months ago; however, form has dipped here on last two outings and he remains weighted to the hilt.

Has done all his winning and the vast majority of his racing at 1m7f-2m1f and he wasn't at the top of his game on his latest handicap start at Cheltenham in December; however, he ran some big races here and at Ascot earlier last year, and he seemed fine over 2m4f on one of his attempts in 2019; not disgraced in red-hot Grade 1 last time; not ruled out back in a handicap.

Comfortable winner of this race on good ground 12 months ago when 5lb lower but that was after finishing second at Kempton, whereas this time he was very disappointing in the same race 25 days ago (on good); had started the season brightly, so if willing to turn a blind eye to last time then he would need considering.

Lightly raced 7yo who has posted career-best performances when runner-up off this mark the last twice (1m7f/2m, soft/good to soft), behind improving types each time; goes into the unknown trip-wise today but pedigree provides optimism he'll stay; bang there if seeing it out.
