Barton Snow
0-12 under rules, but in good form since returning to points in November (form 121), easily disposing of three rivals at Askham Bryan College (3m, good) last month; this is harder but he's still respected for stable that won this two years ago.

Bellaney Lord
Dual winning pointer over 2m4f, the latest an easy success at Alnwick (good to soft) 15 days ago; this will demand more but he can't be dismissed after that latest performance.

Caldwell Diamond
Winning hurdler in Ireland for Gordon Elliott (RPR 126) and easy winner of his only point at Paxford (2m4f, heavy) just under a year ago; didn't get very far on his return in an open hunter chase at Ffos Las last month, but much respected at this level.

Get Bye
Runner-up in his last four starts in points but pulled up in three of his four chasing starts, including in a Warwick hunter chase (3m, good to soft) in January; has a bit to prove.

Go Sacre Go
Point winner (3m, good) in January 2023 who was off for two years before finishing second of five in an open hunter chase at Wincanton (3m1f, heavy; 40-1); could take some catching if again positively ridden over this shorter trip.

50/1 |
Scoresby
Nothing in four starts in bumpers/hurdles, but has won four times in points and would have made it five had he not unseated at the last at Badbury Rings (3m, good) 15 days ago; faces a stiffer task here, though.

Viroflay
Looked an exciting prospect when easily winning a Wincanton juvenile hurdle (2m, good) in October 2020, but then went missing for over two years; record in points since returning reads 21111131 and he also finished second of five in a novice hunter chase at Exeter (3m good to soft); likely to go close.

Missed Tee
Dual hurdle winner for Dan Skelton and has made the frame a few times in hunter chases, but she was pulled up in this race last year and also at Taunton (2m7f, good to soft) last time out; others preferred.
