Godot (G)
[P]
Won at Lingfield in December and runner-up three times since, including bouncing back from a poor return at Ascot. Second of 13 in handicap hurdle at Lingfield (18/1) 21 days ago, retained all his ability and responded well to pressure (fl…

Pachacuti (G)
FAV
[V]
Had been disappointing over fences but returned to form when second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (11/2) 32 days ago following a headgear change, though seemed to find that test barely adequate (third has franked form). This step ba…

Madajovy (G)
[P1]
Supported and showed improvement when second of 11 on handicap bow at Warwick (4/1) 40 days ago, finding more when stepped up to 19f. Shapes as though he'll stay this longer trip and looks open to further progress in first-time cheekpieces.

Blade Runner (G)
[P]
Hasn't won since late 2023, better known as a chaser but inconsistent in that code. Fifth of 6 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (9/1) 45 days ago on return from 20 months off, making little impression. Bit to prove with cheekpieces back on.

Ami Bondhu (G)
[P1]
Fairly useful bumper winner yet to find his form this season with two poor efforts since reappearing in October. Third of 4 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (3/1) 45 days ago, left behind in the straight and eased late on. First-time cheekpi…

Ferret Jeeter (G)
[T]
Handicap hurdle winner last June before a 6-month absence/ breathing operation. Ran creditably on comeback when third of 9 at Fontwell Park (4/1) 63 days ago and may sharpen up for that run. One to consider back up in trip.
