Golden Son (G)
FAV
[PT]
Useful chaser nowadays who made light of a ten-month absence when landing 8-runner hunter chase at Warwick (24f, soft) 20 days ago. Big shout despite conceding weight all round.

Miss Gina Andrews | P F Nicholls | 8 | 78.9 kg |

| 2nd | 2 | — |
Haven't Time (G)
Fairly useful chaser who wasn't disgraced after 9 months off when a fading fourth of 8 to Golden Son in hunter at Warwick (24f, soft) 20 days ago. Can build on it now.

Miss Lucy Turner | Miss S McQueen | 12 | 77.1 kg |

Just Loose Change (G)
Fair chaser who scored at Huntingdon in November 2024 but was below par subsequently for Nicky Martin. Carried out in 2m5f hunter here for his new yard last month and has run out in a point since.

Mr Martin McIntyre | Darren McAlinden | 9 | 77.1 kg |

Snipe (G)
[P]
Bounced back to form on his first try in hunter company when landing 5-runner event at Hereford (20.9f, soft) 17 days ago. This is tougher but he can't be dismissed.

Mr Dominic Lewis | D Skelton | 9 | 77.1 kg |

Beacon Edge (G)
[B]
Smart winning hurdler/chaser at his best who signed off for Gordon Elliott with fortunate success in 2m1f claiming hurdle at Wexford last May. Landed a point last month for his new connections and this veteran is a key player.
|
Mr Joshua Newman | J Newman | 12 | 75.3 kg |

| 3rd | 6 | — |
Revels Hill (G)
A useful winning chaser here for Harry Fry in 2022/23 but very lightly raced nowadays. Off 9 months since posting a fair fourth of 6 for his new yard in hunter chase at Chepstow (23.6f, good to firm) so has his fitness to prove.

Mr D Andrews | Mrs J Boucher | 11 | 75.3 kg |

Whitsand Bay (G)
[P1T1]
Multiple point winner but he's been pulled up on his last 2 starts in that sphere, latest in December, so has a bit to prove here.

Mr Richard Upton | Miss Chaston | 10 | 75.3 kg |
