Knappers Hill (G)
Smart, prolific winning hurdler who landed a Grade 2 novice on second chase start at Wincanton (20.1f) in November 2023. Off 2 years but confirmed he retains a useful level of form this term, looking stretched by the trip when third in Row…

Le Milos (G)
FAV
[P]
Landed this race 12 months ago and tasted success in similar company at Fakenham (24.2f) in May. Low-key efforts first 3 starts back this campaign but big step back in right direction when runner-up in veterans' handicap at Sandown (24.2f)…

Fugitif (G)
[PT]
Useful handicap chaser whose most notable success came in December Gold Cup at Cheltenham (20.6f) in 2023. Winless since, again going with zest but ultimately not threatening when fourth of 9 in handicap chase at Ascot (21.1f, soft) 21 day…

Outlaw Peter (G)
[T]
Enjoyed a fruitful first campaign over fences in 2023/24, winning 3 times. However, seen only twice last season and he's been some way below his best in a pair of starts so far this winter. Switch to veterans' company needs to have positiv…

Guard Your Dreams (G)
FAV
[T]
Smart hurdler at his best who made a winning return/chase debut over C&D last winter. Largely kept good company thereafter and he ran well when runner-up in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (3m) when last seen in May. Solid record fresh and one…

Grandeur D'ame (G)
Useful chaser who isn't always the most fluent but he arrives having took a step back in the right direction when third in a Premier Handicap at Cheltenham (20.6f) on New Year's Day. Mark has eased further ahead of this if jumping holds up.

Lord Baddesley (G)
[T]
Made a winning return in 3-runner handicap chase at Newbury (19.8f) in November but revised mark enough to anchor him since, no extra from 2 out when sixth of 9 in handicap back at Newbury 52 days ago.
