Imperial Bede (G)
FAV
P
A fair ex-French hurdles/chase winner who wasn't disgraced after 13 months off when fourth of 8 in handicap chase at Haydock (20f, good to soft) 23 days ago. In the mix with cheekpieces added.

Onesoc (G)
Took this 12 months ago but not seen out since posting a good second of 5 in handicap chase at Market Rasen (19.2f, good to soft) last February. Still merits consideration though.

A Great Excuse (G)
T
Lightly-raced hurdler who has made a bright start in this sphere, finding plenty to land 2m handicap at Lingfield in December. Got no further than the fifth at Huntingdon 18 days ago but form of his …

El Muchacho (G)
Fell
T
Unreliable type overall but he bagged a second success this season in 4-runner handicap chase over C&D (good) 39 days ago. Needs to back it up now off a 3 lb higher mark.

Athair Mor (G)
FAV
T
Has taken well to fences this season and runner-up on his last 3 starts, latest in 2m4f handicap at Wetherby 45 days ago. That form has been franked so he's a likely player in his bid for a maiden vi…

Lunar Ocean (G)
PT
Runner-up for the fifth time in his last six chase starts at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) 49 days ago but he's still to win and an irresolute performer. Others remain more persuasive.

Pure Surf (M)
Pulled Up
P
Dual hurdles winner for Iain Jardine in summer 2023 and belatedly opened her chase account at Newcastle for this yard last April. Largely disappointing since though and is also 3 lb out of the handic…
