I See The Sea (G)
[B]
Notched second success over fences when opening account for present yard over C&D in November. Subsequent effort over the same C&D was subdued but he'll have a chance if able to bounce back with headgear re-fitted.

Wolfburg (G)
FAV
[TP]
Looked one with serious problems but proved an entirely different proposition on his second start over fences when winning at Wetherby on Boxing Day, first-time headgear/tongue strap the most likely catalyst. Big shout if able to back that…

Getaway Glory (G)
[T]
Successful pointer who surpassed his hurdles form when making a winning chase debut at Huntingdon (3m) in April 2024. Mostly good efforts in defeat since but returning from a long absence here (16 months). Usual headgear left off.

Alltalknoaction (G)
[P]
Failed to go on over hurdles but progressive over fences this season, responding well to this headgear when second at Market Rasen on Boxing Day, pulling clear with the winner. Bound to win races before long.

Defence Witness (G)
[TP]
Got off the mark over fences at Cartmel in May and best effort since when second of 4 here 3 weeks ago. Shapes as if this longer trip will suit but possibly not straightforward.

Valence D'Aumont (G)
[P]
Veteran who capitalised on a reduced mark with a game display over C&D last month, appearing to relish stepping back up in trip. Goes well here so not taken lightly.

Mersey Street (G)
[P]
Fakenham winner over hurdles a year ago his sole success. Encouraging third on chase debut in July and built on that at the second attempt when just edged out by Valence D'aumont over C&D over Christmas. Can go well again.

Ballylinch (G)

Two-time winner over fences during 2023/24 but has shown little in 3 starts following an 18-month absence.

Bravethewaves (G)
[TP]
Pair of chase wins at the start of 2025 and revived from out of the blue in a change to forcing tactics when successful at Southwell in November. However, isn't known for his consistency and wasn't in same form here since.

Whispering Dancer (G)

Irish point winner. Just poor form under Rules so far but at least made more of an impact at Ayr last time despite being over a stone out of the handicap.

Sputnik (G)

Tumbled in the weights and took a step back in the right direction when second over C&D in November. However, well held both starts since and remains opposable.
