No No Maestro
Four-time chase winner, most recently in 2023; well below par in three runs last year, however, and needs a revival on reappearance; market may offer further guidance.

Impatient
Recorded a 40-1 win at Ffos Las (3m) in November, opening his account; inconsistent otherwise and was only a modest third last time; not sure what to expect from him.

- James Bowen / M Bowen

5/2 |
Holokea
Has form figures of 422 over hurdles since handicapping, posting a good effort at Newbury (3m) most recently; this dual point winner should take well to chasing; respected.

Montregard
Justified favouritism at Market Rasen (3m) in November but rather disappointing otherwise over fences; chance depends on how well he responds to new headgear.

Gold Link
Two wins in 2023; has lacked fluency of late but holds a good chance off current mark provided he takes well to first-time headgear; had wind surgery (his third) since last run.

Masterdream
Flat/hurdles winner; ran creditably in the first of two attempts over fences; lacks recent match practice (off since September) so the betting may give further guidance.

Pottlerath
Regained the winning thread at Stratford (3m3f) last time; remains well treated on historical data, such as his success off this mark in this race two years ago; shortlisted.

Tide Times
Has gained all chase wins at Ludlow, the most recent in late 2023; dismal form since, including at that venue; not the percentage call.
