Royal Mer (G)
FAV
T
Notched 5 victories over fences on heavy ground in 2023/24. Winless since but turn may not be far away judged on 2 runner-up efforts this season, though needs to shrug off a below-par run at Hereford…

Pulled Up
V
Not the most straightforward (finds little) but proved consistent last term and it's hard to pick too many holes in this season's efforts, stamina the obvious excuse at Windsor last time.

Jack Black (G)
Pulled Up
P
Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who left chase bow well behind fitted with this headgear when runner-up at Taunton 4 weeks ago, deserving some extra credit having probably raced closer to the pace than …

Better Off Alone (G)
B
Sporadic form but easily best effort over fences when third of 5 at Uttoxeter 2 months ago, likely to have been in the thick of things had he jumped better. Change of headgear and down in trip.

Wewillgowithplanb (G)
Fairly useful winner over fences for Richard Bandey and made a respectable return at Leicester but underlined his inconsistency for current connections when running poorly next 3 starts.

Raffles Hermes (G)

A fair 2m chase winner in France in May. Offered something to work on both starts for this yard but not enough to warrant serious interest.

Begin The Luck (G)
B
Reliable sort who won for the fifth time in this sphere here (20f) on Boxing Day. Respectable third next 2 starts and back down in trip having finished tired at Sedgefield 10 days ago. Change of head…
