Saint Palais (G)
Progressed at a rate of knots when winning 4 of his 5 starts when last seen over fences during 2021/22. Lightly raced over hurdles since and tame finishes have been a feature of recent displays. Returns to this discipline with a bit to pro…

Brave Kingdom (G)
[T]
Low-mileage 10-y-o who took well to fences when winning back-to-back handicaps on first 2 starts in this sphere in 2023. Struggled in a handful of starts after before stopping the slide when second of 4 at Taunton 2 weeks ago. Remains to b…

Good Friday Fairy (G)
[P]
Likeable type who was a back-to-back winner at Wincanton/Taunton a year ago and added to his tally when striking on return at Exeter. Followed that with a solid third there last month, though still has to prove his stamina over this far.

Happy And Fine (G)
[P]
Steadily worked his way back to full fitness this campaign prior to capitalising on a reduced mark to end losing run at Warwick (3m) on New Year's Eve. In touch when unseating at Leicester (22.7f) on latest outing last month but he's not t…

Major Fortune (G)
[P]
Patchy record over fences but took advantage of reduced mark in first-time headgear at Wincanton (25.1f) last month, readily asserting. Big shout if in similar form up 5 lb.

Jupiter Des Bordes (G)
[T]
Largely consistent over fences for current yard and deservedly opened his account in this sphere with a gritty display at Warwick. Good second at Haydock next time before stamina probably stretched at Windsor since. Looks high enough in th…

Havaila (G)
[H]
Took well to fences last season, winning twice. Good third of 16 at Windsor on return last month and drop back in trip probably in his favour given his natural exuberance.

Sheldon (G)
Seemingly not as good as he was but ran best race for a while when second over C&D 5 weeks ago. Task now is to back that up in this stronger race.

As The Fella Says (G)

Winning pointer. Maiden under Rules who has shown some improvement switched to fences this term, though was a bit disappointing at Windsor last time.
