Irish raider; the form of his cross-country seconds was franked this week at Cheltenham

Has proved a revelation over fences, racking up six wins in his seven starts; on the up
13	Neo King Bay J:Ben Jones T:Mrs C Williams	J:Ben Jones T:Mrs C Williams	150	p	-22613	120	141	119	28d	—	—	+22	33.3	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Usually finishes strongly; had a few of these behind when third at Haydock last time
7	Git Maker Bay J:Gavin Sheehan T:Jamie Snowden	J:Gavin Sheehan T:Jamie Snowden	159	b	30-3P5	129	147	116	28d	—	—	+13	22.3	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Ran well in the new blinkers at Haydock and Thursday's rain was a blessing

Only a 7yo and arrives here on the back of a career best in winning at Wincanton
11	Grand Albert Chestnut J:Theo Gillard T:Donald McCain	J:Theo Gillard T:Donald McCain	152	p	13-456	122	143	115	28d	—	—	+13	20.1	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Has stayed on strongly at Haydock on his last two starts, over 3m1f and 3m4f
3	Deafening Silence Bay J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	164	p	15-234	134	144	138	28d	—	—	+16	22.9	2.75/1	11/1 8%
Competitive in strong staying chases on last two starts and should be again
9	Alcedo Bay J:Charlie Deutsch T:Venetia Williams	J:Charlie Deutsch T:Venetia Williams	156	p	3-9122	126	143	135	22d	—	—	+17	22.5	4.00/1	16/1 6%
He'll be into unknown territory a long way from home over this distance; too risky
4	Collectors Item Bay J:Jonjo O'Neill Jr T:Jonjo & A J O'Neill	J:Jonjo O'Neill Jr T:Jonjo & A J O'Neill	163	b	P8-294	133	145	134	44d	—	—	+18	22	4.50/1	18/1 5%
Bit to prove over quite this far and form has dipped markedly on last two starts
15	De Legislator Bay J:Derek Fox T:Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore	J:Derek Fox T:Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore	145	—	1-130P	115	143	133	17d	—	—	+20	24.6	4.50/1	18/1 5%

Closely matched with Aworkinprogress and there were excuses last time at Exeter
2	My Immortal Bay J:Mr Finian Maguire T:Barry Connell	J:Mr Finian Maguire T:Barry Connell	165	—	70-7P1	135	139	64	27d	—	—	+19	22.3	5.50/1	22/1 4%
40-1 Punchestown winner; far from guaranteed to follow one good run with another
1	Rock My Way Bay J:Brendan Powell T:Joe Tizzard	J:Brendan Powell T:Joe Tizzard	168	tb	5-0182	138	147	122	41d	—	—	+19	23	6.25/1	25/1 4%
Only 2-13 over fences but flashes of his form in staying chases make for good reading
5	Isaac Des Obeaux Bay J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Paul Nicholls	J:Sam Twiston-Davies T:Paul Nicholls	162	p	33-312	132	142	103	58d	—	—	+18	21.5	5.50/1	22/1 4%
May yet have more to offer over an extreme distance such as this but he certainly needs it
12	Minella Blueway Bay J:Isabel Williams T:Mrs C Williams	J:Isabel Williams T:Mrs C Williams	150	p	-P3F27	120	141	118	16d	—	—	+19	21.5	16.50/1	66/1 1%
This race demands a career best and on the back of a laboured display at Ludlow
14	Bodhisattva Chestnut J:Alex Harvey(3) T:John C McConnell	J:Alex Harvey(3) T:John C McConnell	145	p	6P-73P	115	143	113	17d	—	—	+15	16.6	20.00/1	80/1 1%
No win since 2023 and he'll do well to put that right after pulling up last time at Bangor
NR	Sporting Ace Bay J:TBC T:Neil King	J: T:Neil King	145	—	-9P7P1	115	142	100	23d	—	—	—	24.8	—	—
It was a weak race he won at Huntingdon and he has plenty more on his plate here
