Rouge Vif
Smart 2m chaser in his prime; generally very disappointing in recent years and absent since pulled up for Richard Bandey last May, but makes debut for latest new stable on a very tempting mark; worth a second look.

Alto Alto
Responded well to first-time visor when making all at Plumpton (2m1f, soft) in February and ran well until stamina ebbed away at Fontwell (2m3f, soft) last month; drops back in trip today and will be fine on the faster ground; contender if the new headgear continues to keep him focused.

El Muchacho
Won small-field Plumpton chase for Harriett Dickin (2m1f, good) just over a year ago and is back in Britain after four-race spell for a German stable towards end of 2024; not an easy one to weigh up at present but it will be interesting to see what Olly Murphy can do with him.

Doyouknowwhatimean
Dual chase winner on heavy ground last season (2m/2m1f) but not really firing on all cylinders in recent months; continues to to slip down the weights but needs to up his game, and could use some rain; cheekpieces (worn for last two races) removed.

Sao Carlos
Unseated rider in early stages of last month's chasing debut but was in fairly good form over hurdles beforehand and remains lightly raced; could still have a good future over fences.

Gower Prince
Won for Nigel Twiston-Davies at Wincanton (1m7f, good) exactly one year ago; absent since disappointing run for him last July but on a good mark for this first run since rejoining Matt Sheppard; hood refitted; worth a glance in the betting.

Ideallko
Returned from layoff with with three consecutive wins this winter (2m-2m5f, good to soft/soft) and is still in good form; up in grade today but recovered well from bad mistake in home straight to finish second here (2m3f, good) last month and may still have a bigger run in him.
