5/2 |
Prairie Wolf
Jumped poorly and ran no race when tailed off at Kelso last week; had previously made it 4-10 over fences when winning well at Haydock (2m, soft; stays this far) and clearly a strong contender if he can shrug aside that recent disappointment.

Jetoile
Fourth in good-sized fields over about 2m4f at Cheltenham and Punchestown last year but utterly unconvincing in his last four races, with cheekpieces added the last twice; on a good mark but has become hard to trust.

- Genois
- Jack Hogan / J & A O'neill

11/4 |
Genois
Ex-Irish gelding who won a small-field Premier handicap chase at Wetherby in November (good) on his second run for this yard but hasn't been so clever since; would be a contender if bang on song.

- Kansas City Star
- Alice Stevens / Harry Derham

5/1 |
Kansas City Star
Had form in Ireland on soft ground but all three chase wins have been on good, the latest at Doncaster in November (2m3f; 2lb lower); laboured in two runs since (on good and soft) but this is at least a drop in grade; the weather needs checking.

Mackenberg
Unlucky not to win at Hereford last March but only run of note since was a 10l third to Kansas City Star at Doncaster in November; has become extremely difficult to predict.

- Brucio
- Ben Bromley / S R B Crawford

4/1 |
Brucio
The 20-1 winner of a Listed 2m2f handicap hurdle for mares at Leopardstown (soft) just over a year ago and was later third in another valuable handicap at Kelso (2m, good); lacks chasing experience but should stay this far and all her rivals have questions to answer.

Arthur's Quay
The winner of five chases but last year was disappointing and so too his latest Wetherby run when behind Genois.
