The vote goes to YOU SAY NOTHING, who is thriving and remains well treated despite the 6lb rise. Pittsburg can rebound from a below-par Flat run and he looks the biggest danger, while Lady Gwen and Imperial Measure retain chase potential and shouldn't be dismissed. [Tim Mitchell]

Low-mileage 6yo who has been placed on two of his five runs for this stable; faced a stiff task when chasing home a revitalised subsequent winner at Bangor (2m1f, good) last month and faded into fourth at Southwell (2m, good) yesterday; more likely needed if turned out quickly.
Three chase wins in France (2m1f-2m3f; heavy/very soft) but yet to show the same form in four British starts, on varying ground; still early days for this stable though and dangerous to rule out, especially if strong in the market, having been given wind surgery and now down in the weights.
Struggled in 2024 but 2-2 this year, most recently posting a comfortable win at Leicester (2m, good to soft) in March off 6lb lower; remains on a good mark and can give another good account in his hat-trick bid.
Well held back on the Flat latest but in good form over fences prior to that, winning two of his last three starts (2-2 under Freddie Mitchell); nothing wrong with his close second at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) in April; has never won off a mark this high but looks hard to rule out.
Inconsistent over hurdles last year but ran well when second on chase debut at Exeter (2m1f, good to soft) in October before running as though something was amiss when pulling up in November; made a satisfactory return at Stratford last month when shaping as though the run might have been needed; remains with chase potential.
Only 1-13 but generally reliable over hurdles; shaped with some promise on last month's chase debut after a long absence and is only 1lb higher than his sole hurdles win; possibilities if the reappearance run has brought him forward.
Placed in an Irish point last spring but has offered little over hurdles, including in handicaps this year; has enough to prove on this switch to chasing.
