Bold Jury
In the frame in two of three points in Ireland; fair hurdles debut in slowly run affair at Uttoxeter in December (2m, soft), but ran out next time and was well beaten on latest start at Wetherby (2m3f, soft); chase/handicap debut.

Ballywood
Formerly useful for Alan King; operates at a much lower level these days and hasn't won since March 2019 but two fair efforts over 2m3f on last two course starts; return to 2m1f will be no problem; each-way chance.

Mutual Respect
Winner over similar trips to today's at Worcester and Bangor (soft) in the autumn; below par over further when last seen in December but still feasibly treated and has a chance.

Too Cool Forshrule
Runner-up in Irish point in April 2024 (3m, soft); hasn't shown much in four runs over hurdles, pulling hard in a hood (now discarded) on last three starts; better expected on handicap/chase debut.

Smart Casual
Not the best of jumpers and yet to win in four attempts over fences; spoilt chance with a bad error three out when second at Leicester last week (2m, good to soft; 6-5 favourite; cheekpieces tried); obvious contender.

Pittsburg
Has won three chases, including one over C&D on good ground in August 2023; hasn't been in the best of form recently and hard to fancy after finishing tailed off at Huntingdon on Wednesday.
