Mackenberg
Multiple winner at up to 2m5f but none since 2022 and the last year or so hasn't gone well; this belated step up to 3m (having run over 2m last time) is perhaps more in hope than expectation.

Champagnesuperover
Exploited his reduced mark to justify favouritism at Hereford (3m1f, soft) in February and faced no easy task when beaten in a match last time (2m5f claiming chase); only 6lb higher than for that recent win which was fairly authoritative.

Tiger Orchid
Five of seven wins at Worcester; respectable effort back from a break at Bangor (3m, soft; fine on good) and he's off last summer's winning mark.

Earth Cry
The winner of two bumpers and three hurdles; likes good ground; jumped well on recent chase debut at Ffos Las (3m, good to soft) and was beaten just over 3l; that was after 202 days away, so there is good reason to believe he can improve again.

Enjoy D'allen
Nothing like as good as he was and was sold out of Ciaran Murphy's yard for 6,500gns in February; winless since 2021 and finished well beaten over hurdles on stable debut.

Muskoka
1-5 over fences and continued to run well since winning by clear daylight at Hereford in December (3m1f, good to soft); jumping was a bit scratchy in a small field on his return from wind surgery and now tries cheekpieces; in the mix.

Imperial Alex
Three successive wins last year included one over C&D but was below par the winter just gone (latest second was remote) and he's shown a preference for slow ground.

De Tellers Fortune
Won his maiden hurdle on good ground and had the same conditions when making a successful chase debut at Taunton (2m7f) and when second of three at Wetherby in March; his pull-ups on either side of that were in the mud; back on this surface he should have a part to play.

Heroique De Maulde
Pushed up 8lb for winning at Kelso (2m7f, good) but he was well on top and won off a higher mark for his previous yard; good chance.
