Grandad's Cap (G)
FAV
[H]
Has made a promising start to his chasing career, confirming debut promise when easily landing 5-runner handicap chase at Market Rasen (23.9f, soft, 15/8) 11 days ago. Open to further improvement and claims are crystal clear under a 7 lb p…

Italian Spirit (G)
[P]
Maiden hurdle winner for Olly Murphy back in 2021 but went with little promise fitted with first-time cheekpieces on his belated chasing debut at Wincanton recently.

Moor End (G)
[T1]
Made a winning start over fences at Uttoxeter (20f) on return and backed it up with a brace of placed efforts to end 2025, latterly over C&D. Obvious player from same mark in a first-time tongue strap.

Owl Of Athens (G)
Landed a gamble over hurdles this time last year and whilst he's bred to make a chaser, it's been a low-key start for him in this sphere.

The Brickey Ranger (G)
Has no form outside of Irish points/hunters and now drops back in trip after failing to last home at Fontwell (26f) on most recent outing.

Hitthekettle (G)
Winning Irish pointer but has shown nothing both starts over fences under Rules.

Voleur De Terres (M)
Dual winning Irish pointer but has offered little so far under Rules, including when fourth of 8 in handicap chase at Huntingdon (23.6f, soft) on latest start. Seems set for another struggle from 5 b out of the weights.
