Dual C&D winner; tougher task off 6lb higher in deeper race than last time but respected

In good form since the visor returned, twice over C&D; likely to run well again.

Fair hurdler who's gone close over fences in limited chances, more still needed though.

Had wind surgery since finishing a solid second at Uttoxeter latest; leading claims.

Should give another good account but will likely prove vulnerable off this sort of mark.
7	Fat Sam ch J:James Davies T:Chris Down	J:James Davies T:Chris Down	156	t	23-324	103	119	92	28d	—	—	-41	33.3	10/1 9%
Generally reliable veteran who is capable of bouncing back from a recent lesser effort.
6	Trapista b J:Kevin Brogan T:Jonjo & A J O'Neill	J:Kevin Brogan T:Jonjo & A J O'Neill	156	—	P3-24U	103	120	69	58d	—	—	-41	33.3	22/1 4%
Generally disappointing since completing a hat-trick in 2024 and easy to look elsewhere.

Well treated on old form but hard to fancy in current shape.

Unexposed 6yo who made a promising start to his chase career last month; respected.
