Ladronne
11yo who has plenty to prove in view of this season's form but he came good around this time last year and is 13lb below that last winning mark; has won here twice and he's not written off.

Shady B
Lightly raced 7yo who made it 2-4 over fences when scoring at Ffos Las (3m, heavy) three weeks ago following a second wind operation; did it readily and an 8lb rise may not be enough to prevent a follow-up win.

Emotional Roller
Runner-up here (2m3f, soft) on chase debut in December and won at Catterick (3m1f, good to soft) last month on fourth run over fences; soundly beaten third at Market Rasen since but the clear runner-up has won twice since and this unexposed 7yo retains potential; in with a chance,

Time Was
3m point winner who was a good second here (2m3f, soft) this month when back over fences for her second chase start; there can be hope she'll be fine now back up in trip and she's one to consider.

Bring The Action
Won at Hereford (2m5f, good to soft) last April in first-time blinkers (retained since) and is now 1lb lower; however, he's struggled on his four starts since and a major turnaround is required.

His mark continues to fall but this 11yo has been well beaten this winter on both starts since returning from a long absence; plenty to prove.

Gibberwell
Beaten on his last 13 starts and is just 1-20 over fences but he was back on song when a fair second of 15 at Carlisle (3m, soft) this month and runs off 2lb lower today; each-way claims.

Monticello
Two Flat wins in 2016 and placed over hurdles in autumn 2022; however, this 11yo struggled on the Flat and over hurdles last year and it's highly likely he's best watched on his belated chase debut.

Halfway House Lad
Left with nothing to beat for sole chase success at Newcastle in November (2m7f, good) and well held since then; others preferred.
