Ace Of Spades (G)
FAV
Steadily progressive over hurdles and enhanced his already good strike rate when seeing off 5 rivals on 2½m Aintree reappearance. Good efforts in defeat both starts since and should go well again.

Bold Endeavour (G)
[P]
Useful hurdler/chaser at best for this yard. Well held all 3 starts after rejoining Laura Morgan last season but potentially well handicapped back with this stable.

Onewaywest (G)
Much improved over hurdles this season, winning at Warwick/Wetherby in a week in November. Set to go close to completing the hat-trick when falling at the last at Kempton on Boxing Day and remains of interest.

Don Virginia (G)

Won twice over hurdles in the first half of the season and good fourth at Newbury over Christmas. Not taken lightly.

Benign Dictator (G)
All the better for belated comeback (off 22 months) when winning at Warwick on New Year's Eve, off the bridle long way out but forging clear after the last. up 6 lb in better race but respected all the same.

Loup De Maulde (G)
[PT]
Healthy strike rate over hurdles (4-14) and signed off 2023/24 campaign with back-to-back handicap chase wins at Huntingdon and Taunton. Resumes on same mark for latter success, but 22-month absence is naturally a concern.

Sole Solution (G)
Ended last season with a career-best hurdles win at Sandown and resumed from 10 months off with an encouraging third at Uttoxeter on chase bow. Ran no sort of race at Haydock next time but this lightly-raced sort is worth another chance ba…
