Gentleman Bill (G)
[P]
Bumper/dual 2m hurdles winner who made a good start over fences at Aintree in October. However, has failed to build on that since and doesn't look a natural jumper.

Glen Road (G)
Added another hurdles win to his tally at Kelso in December. Low-key start over fences at this C&D last month but entitled to build on that.

Danny McMenamin | J Parkinson & S Smith | 7 | 75.3 kg |

I Am Max (G)
Ended last season in very good nick over hurdles and found immediate improvement when making winning chase return at Hexham. Disappointed since, however, his jumping often letting him down.

P W Wadge | A M Thomson | 8 | 75.3 kg |

Big John Wayne (G)
Fairly useful form over hurdles without winning in 2024. A point win suggests he can do at least well over fences and offered something to work on over unsuitable trip on chase bow at Ayr (2m) after 15 months off. Handicap debut.

D R Fox | L Russell & M Scudamore | 8 | 74.8 kg |

Joecooker (G)
[T]
A fairly useful winning hurdler who made a positive start in this sphere when second at Wetherby. Not quite in same form over C&D since. Worth another chance.

Jamie Hamilton | R Menzies | 7 | 74.4 kg |

Rock On Jet (G)
[H]
Found some improvement fitted with hood when making all in 2m Ayr handicap hurdle over a year ago. Hasn't progressed over fences but worth a try over this longer trip.

Jonathon Bewley | G Bewley | 7 | 69.9 kg |

Singapore Trip (G)
[T]
Resumed winning ways at Wetherby on his return and was holding his form until latest run at Catterick. Making first start over fences in Britain (maiden chaser in France).

B S Hughes | Micky Hammond | 8 | 68 kg |
