Hypotenus (G)
FAV
Reliable sort who gained a deserved breakthrough success in 5-runner handicap chase at this C&D (good to soft) 9 days ago. Had the run of the race there so this demands more from a 6 lb higher mark.

Jaipaletemps (G)
[T]
In fine form and bagged a third victory in his last four starts in 6-runner handicap chase at Lingfield (16f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Up 6 lb but he's expected to be bang there once more.

Raffles Hermes (G)
[H1]
A fair 2m chase winner in France in May. Shaped as if needing the run for his new handler after five months off when seventh of 10 in handicap chase at Exeter (19.2f, soft) 55 days ago. Can take a step forward now with a hood added.

Jack Black (G)
[P1]
Lightly-raced maiden hurdler who didn't offer much sent chasing when fourth of 7 at Bangor (2m1f) on his handicap bow 6 weeks ago. Cheekpieces are reached for.

Cuban Court (G)
[PT]
A three-time winner over hurdles last season. Got off the mark at the first time of asking in this sphere in 6-runner handicap at Doncaster (16.4f, good to soft) 35 days ago. 3 lb rise may not be enough to prevent a follow up.

Holy Legend (G)
Off 8 months before beating just one in handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f). Goes chasing now after another lay-off and others appeal more.

Valirann Gold (G)
[PT]
It's now 16 runs since his last win in 2024 but he wasn't disgraced when second of 9 in handicap chase at Exeter (19.2f, heavy) 30 days ago. No forlorn hope.
