Champagnesuperover
Unseated rider in two of last three chases and well held when third at Leicester (2m4f, soft) in between; however, he was heavily backed for his latest race and remains very well handicapped on old form.

Almazhar Garde
Thorough stayer who is no longer the force of old but was largely consistent last year; second three consecutive times off this mark in the autumn and has obvious claims if in similar form after three-month break.

Cap Du Nord
Now 7lb lower than when winning on good ground at Perth (3m) last summer and can cope if the ground turns soft here but his recent efforts have been very disappointing and he's difficult to enthuse over at the moment.

Christopher Wood
Very useful hurdler/chaser in his prime but has regressed and become inconsistent; ran very poorly in Lingfield marathon last month and needs to respond very positively to the addition of blinkers here.

Lagonda
Very creditable second in valuable mares' chase over C&D (good to soft) in December and made all to open chasing account under regular rider Shane Quinlan at Bangor (3m, soft) this month; must be considered in current form.

Foxboro
Four-time chase winner for Robert Walford (2m4f-3m6f, good-soft) but out of form for new stable this season (three runs); very well handicapped now but needs to be perked up by a change of headgear here.

Born At Midnight
Won twice at Plumpton (3m1f, soft) last March but returned from a break with two very disappointing runs there in December (cheekpieces added last time) and arrives here with quite a bit to prove.

Tide Times
Quite useful in his prime but failed to complete all five chases in 2024 and again looked out of sorts when back over hurdles last month; hopes of a revival are beginning to fade.

Grillon De Monty
Won over hurdles for Dan Skelton in spring 2023 (3m1f) but, following a long absence, has struggled on both outings for new stable this winter; reverts to chasing with huge amount to prove.
