|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6th | 1 | 1 |
Alligator Alley (G)
Three-time C&D winner. Four wins from 18 runs last year, the latest at Wolverhampton in December. Respectable third of 6 in handicap at the same course (5.1f, 15/8) 24 days ago. Clearly in good nick and should be in the mix once more.

Paddy's Day (G)
Six wins from 12 runs last year. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (12/1) at Newcastle (5f) 35 days ago, always holding on. 2 lb nudge fair enough and he needs considering.

Ziggy's Triton (G)
FAV
[V1]
C&D winner. Four wins from 15 runs last year, the latest here in December. Creditable second of 9 in handicap back over this C&D (3/1) 9 days ago and, provided that he responds well to the first-time visor, another bold show should be fort…

| 7th | 4 | 2 |
Atomic Force (G)
5/2, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 66 days ago. Down 1 lb and while more will be needed if he's to emerge on top here, this 7-y-o has to enter calculations.

Harry Vigors | E Bethell | 7 | 59.4 kg |

| 1st | 5 | 4 |
Spring Is Sprung (G)
Course winner. Three wins from 8 runs last year, the latest at Haydock in August. Eighth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (7/1). Off 112 days and others make more appeal.

Jason Hart | P T Midgley | 7 | 57.2 kg |

Fidelius (G)
FAV
Latest win at Newcastle in November. 7/2, third of 5 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 13 days ago. Couldn't rule out.

Marco Ghiani | R M H Cowell | 5 | 56.7 kg |

Juan Les Pins (G)
Twenty six runs since last win in 2023. 13/2, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 12 days ago, slowly away. One to consider.
