Bagged Haldon Gold Cup on return last season and back to that sort of form, in first-time cheekpieces, when creditable third of 10 in handicap chase at Ascot (16.8f, soft, 10/3) 21 days ago. Can't be…

Lightly raced in recent seasons but looked as good as ever when winning at Sandown (15.5f) in February before solid fourth in Red Rum at Aintree. Below par on return at this course (20.2f) last month…

Front-runner who ended last season on the up with 2m handicap wins at Aintree and Plumpton in April. Not been at same level this term and it may well be we don't see the best of him until the spring …

Country Mile (G)
Dual novice hurdle winner who made a promising start over fences when second to Alnilam in minor event at Uttoxeter in October. Couldn't build on that here later that month but he remains with potent…

Much improved since sent chasing last term, winning all 3 starts, latest on his reappearance in 7-runner handicap at Haydock (16.3f, good to soft) 21 days ago, driven out. 6 lb higher now but he rema…

Three-time hurdles winner who found improvement, on second start in this discipline, when taking 3-runner handicap chase at Warwick (16.2f, soft) 24 days ago. This is tougher but he likely has more t…

Joker De Mai (G)
Fairly useful winner over hurdles who won on second attempt in this sphere at Leicester in March. However, failed to complete both starts since and has something to prove on yard/handicap chase debut…

Triple Trade (G)
Below best last term but dropped to a handy mark and took full advantage when making a winning return at this venue (15.9f, soft) 27 days ago. 5 lb higher now but he can make his presence felt again.

Better than ever last season, gaining his second 2m win at Chepstow in February. Yet to fire this term, however, and finished a long way behind Triple Trade here latest. 1 lb out of the handicap.
