Salley Gardens (G)
[PT]
Won a pair of small-field chases for Olly Murphy last spring. Hasn't reached those heights in a handful of runs for this yard but has dipped 2 lb below his last winning mark.

Abingworth (G)

Decent strike rate over fences but below par last 2 starts in this sphere and ran poorly back on the Flat last month. However, back down in class now and more than capable in this sort of company.

Dunstall Rambler (G)
Looked an improved model when routing the opposition on his reappearance at Worcester in October but never involved in better company at Aintree after and fell heavily 11th at Southwell (2m4f) last time. Needs to get back on track.

Roger Rarebit (G)

Whatsyourproblem (G)
Consistent rather than progressive over hurdles and made the most of a good opportunity in a maiden at Huntingdon in April. Left chase debut/return behind when third at Southwell, though once again didn't convince with his jumping. More ne…

Successful at Plumpton on first 3 chase starts in 2023/24 and still in good heart last season despite not winning. Hasn't returned in the same form this campaign, though, including back over hurdles last time. Has subsequently had a breath…

Line Of Descent (G)

C&D winner who's potentially well handicapped, but this is his first outing in 20 months so market may prove best guide.
