Mr Glass
Useful for Paul Nicholls, finishing third behind Constitution Hill in the Grade 1 Tolworth three years ago; unbeaten in three runs for Will Biddick in the last 13 months, with the first two in points and the latest an easy win in hunter chase at Wincanton (3m1f, heavy) two weeks ago; has a penalty in this deeper race but he's still unexposed over regulation fences and should have more to offer in this sphere; big player.

Givega
Three wins from five starts over hurdles and he made it 2-2 in points when making all at Larkhill (3m) on his comeback in December; had tough task in Grade 2 on only previous run over regulation fences and he's respected on this hunter chase debut; his three rules wins have been on good to soft/soft.

Il Padrino
Won a four-runner point (3m, good to firm) in May 2022 but he's struggled since and was pulled up in a Cartmel hunter chase (2m5f) on rules debut last May; can only be watched on his return.

13/8 |
Jeux D'eau
7yo with a record of 5-8 in points; turned over as favourite in his two runs in hunter chases but he was only beaten 2l in a good race at Warwick (3m, good to soft) last month, when a mistake at the third-last fence didn't help; that form puts him firmly in the picture and he still has potential.

Paul Marvel
Fairly useful over hurdles and fences for Willie Mullins; emphatic winner of a point (3m, good to soft) in November and he's finished runner-up in that sphere in last two runs; now returns to rules and he's a key player on his best chase form last season.

- Pyleigh Court
- Miss Ella Herbison / R Pudd
|
|
|
20/1 |
Pyleigh Court
3-7 in points but he was a well-held third when switched to rules in a hunter chase at Cheltenham (3m2f, good) in May 2023; still has low mileage but this looks tough after a long absence and others are preferred.

- Ragnar Lodbrok
- Mr Tommie M O'brien / Mrs J Owen
|
|
|
150/1 |
Ragnar Lodbrok
Ten-time point winner but he's been disappointing in last two runs in that sphere including a pulled-up effort last month; has something to prove again back over regulation fences and he's 1-18 under rules; change of headgear.

- Red Delta
- Mr John Dawson / Fiona Needham
|
|
|
16/1 |
Red Delta
Dual point winner but he's come up short in his last three runs in that sphere and this looks a tough assignment on his rules debut; down the list.

- Walk Away
- Mr O Mcgill / R Pallas

|
12/1 |
Walk Away
Lightly raced 12yo; point winner who has plenty of useful form under rules but he's failed to complete in three of his last five starts and is now 0-10 over regulation fences; passed over.

- Fine Dining
- Mr T Hutsby / F Hutsby

|
50/1 |
Fine Dining
0-5 in points in 2023 including two pulled-up efforts; now switches to rules after a long absence and can only be watched.
