Novice winner over hurdles over 2m4f and was last seen finishing down the field in a Listed handicap hurdle at Punchestown last season but the former point winner was always going to make a better chaser and has to be of interest in a race of this nature.

Classy chaser was second in a Grade 1 at Fairyhouse to round off his campaign last term and he was as good as ever on return at Down Royal. Gordon Elliott can do no wrong at present. Should take beating.

Encouraging second at Kempton on hurdle bow before impressive in a maiden at Plumpton over the extended 2m4f on latest. Must carry top weight here on handicap debut but could still be feasibly treated.

Sam Thomas is having a good season so far and Steel Ally jumped notably well when winning over fences at Carlisle last time. The step back up in trip won’t be a problem and it’s likely that the best is still to come in this sphere. He looks like the one to beat.

Dual bumper winner last season with her only defeat in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree. Made the perfect start over hurdles when winning a 2m mares’ novice cosily at Newbury last month. The second and third have since won. Lovely looking mare.

Landed a valuable handicap on reappearance over C&D last month, making it a perfect record at the track in two runs. His jumping let him down at Cheltenham since but he’s turned out fast at a track he loves so has to be considered.

Won a good-standard juvenile hurdle at Auteuil in October 2024 and won on debut for this stable at Wetherby before an excellent second in an Aintree Grade 1. Surely looks too big a price here despite the absence given the stable’s rich vein of form.

Chris Gordon is having a stellar season so far and is operating at a very healthy strike-rate of 28 per cent so far. Goodwin has provided his trainer with two wins already and he was an easy winner of a Class 2 last time out. He’s up 6lb now but should be capable of going in again.

French import Future Bucks made an excellent start to her career in Britain when winning a Windsor novice comfortably last month. Jamie Snowden’s filly is entitled to progress and she can follow up here if doing so.

Bumper winner Gaelic Pride bumped into a smart one on his first start over hurdles, where he finished second, and was only denied by half-a-length in a decent maiden at Cheltenham after that. The step up in trip should help and he’ll be getting off the mark sooner rather than later.

Jane Williams is in good form at the moment and Excelero was an impressive winner at Warwick last time out. It’s hard to argue with a 7lb rise after that performance and this is just his third start over fences.

Loves Kempton with three chase around there since the start of the year, including on return in October and travelled notably well for a long way in the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham when last seen. Has run well around here in defeat in the past. Chance.

Bumper and dual 3m handicap chase winner who finished second in this race last year off a mark of 119, the mark he runs off today, and he looked in need of the run on return at Bangor when well supported. Live player.

Won a Grade 1 novice hurdle at Aintree in April over an extended 2m4f before a gallant runner-up finish behind Jasmin de Vaux in a Grade 1 at Punchestown. Looks like the type that will relish this trip and the yard couldn’t be in better form.

Dual bumper winner last season with her only defeat in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree. Made the perfect start over hurdles when winning a 2m mares’ novice cosily at Newbury last month. The second and third have since won. Lovely looking mare.

Minella Jury ran well in all three bumpers for John Nallen and managed to win at Wexford at the third time of asking. The five-year-old makes his stable and hurdling debut here and this looks like a very winnable maiden.

Sam Thomas is having a good season so far and Steel Ally jumped notably well when winning over fences at Carlisle last time. The step back up in trip won’t be a problem and it’s likely that the best is still to come in this sphere. He looks like the one to beat.

Bass Hunter represents the Chris Gordon yard and he left a big impression when winning a Newbury bumper in very good style last month. The five-year-old pulled eight lengths clear of the runner-up, who has won over hurdles since. A similar performance will make him hard to beat.

Politacus was a progressive handicapper over hurdles a couple of seasons ago and she was entitled to need the run on her return after a 561-day absence at Warwick last month. Making her chasing debut here, improvement seems likely and she remains lightly raced.

Walkadina won a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter in good style last season and performed admirably when fourth in a Listed contest on her next start. Both efforts this season have been solid, particularly at Ludlow last time, and a return to winning ways could be on the cards.
