Handstands (G)
Developed into a smart performer over fences last term, winning all 3 completed starts, including Grade 1 Scilly Isles at Sandown. Failed to land odds on return and then possibly found 25.6f too much of a test in the Betfair Chase. Concede…

Matata (G)
Headstrong sort but developed into a very smart chaser last season, winning a brace of 2m handicaps, including at this venue. Ridden with more restraint when off the mark for the season in a valuable contest at Cheltenham (20.6f) and those…

Resplendent Grey (G)
[P]
Ended last season with a win in bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown and backed that up with a reappearance success over Handstands in 2½m Carlisle listed chase. Wasn't at his best in another major handicap at Newbury last time, though he was on the…

Eldorado Allen (G)
[PT]
Veteran but still a smart sort, ending a long losing run with a bold display from the front at Cheltenham on return over 20.2f. Shaped as if still in form when third there 5 weeks ago but dominating this calibre of rival no easy task.

Jungle Boogie (G)
Fragile but highly-talented performer who was sixth in 2024 Gold Cup on just his fourth start over fences. Produced a typically bold front-running display when scoring at Ascot on reappearance last term but failed to return with a bang for…

Protektorat (G)

[T]
High-class chaser who won the 2024 Ryanair and also took this last year. Runner-up in Melling Chase (2½m) at Aintree in April and gave an extremely good account from the front under a big weight when third on November's reappearance. Very …
