Indiana Dream
Unexposed 7yo who created a very good impression when winning easily on chasing debut for Willie Mullins at Navan (2m4f, heavy) in December 2023; struggled to get competitive in valuable Windsor conditions chase (2m6f) when reappearing for new stable last month and is tricky to weigh up at present but will find this race easier and may be aided by the new tongue-tie.

Harper's Brook
Quirky customer who tends to idle when in front; cajoled to narrow success by Kielan Woods at Wetherby (1m7f, good to soft) in December and remains on a workable mark but always comes with an extra element of risk.

Sans Bruit
Produced excellent front-running performance in 15-runner handicap at Aintree festival (2m, soft) last April but has lacked the same sparkle this season, and his recent Kempton run was particularly disappointing; held up in rear in last two races; interesting to see whether connections opt to revert to front-running tactics here.

Prince Quali
Won this race and another C&D contest last season, and has remained in good form this term; probably doesn't have much margin for error off current mark but the return to this track is an obvious plus and he copes very well with slow ground; major player.

Dr T J Eckleburg
Scored at Haydock (2m, soft) in the autumn and posted career-best performance when close second from out of the weights at Sandown (1m7f, heavy) this month; effectively another 1lb higher today but has a very solid record over C&D and probably won't be far away.

Javert Allen
Low-mileage 6yo who made excellent start to his chasing career in the autumn, jumping well and dominating from the front over C&D and at Newbury (also 2m, good to soft); likely to make a bold bid.

Jetronic
Won over fences in France in 2023 and was a British hurdle winner for Paul Nicholls last season; pulled up (over hurdles) on stable debut in October but shaped well when fifth over fences at Newbury (2m, good to soft) the following month and may still have a bigger run in him.
