Minniemum (M)
Took well to fences last season and added another win to her tally over further here in November. Good second in listed mares race at Market Rasen next time but has bombed since.

Party Vibes (M)
FAV
Back to very best to win a competitive mares' handicap at Cheltenham (20.5f) in December. Blatantly found the test too much back hurdling at Sandown and worth another chance back chasing/returned to a suitable trip.

Sam Twiston-Davies | H D Daly | 8 | 75.7 kg |

Molto Bene (M)
[T]
Dual hurdles winner who bettered that form straightaway when making a winning return/chase debut at Bangor. Followed up at Huntingdon before second in listed events at Doncaster (back over hurdles) and Newbury. Remains on a fair mark.

Lily Pinchin | C E Longsdon | 7 | 74.8 kg |

Georgi Girl (M)
[P]
Fairly useful winner over hurdles. Similar form but yet to score over fences and still to see a race out this season.

Callum Pritchard | P Hobbs & J White | 7 | 73.9 kg |

Theonewedreamof (M)
Versatile ex-Irish mare who has made a positive start for her new yard, winning at Exeter before second at Cheltenham. Possibly found next run coming too soon and expected to bounce back after a break.

Tristan Durrell | D Skelton | 7 | 73 kg |

Malaita (M)
Winless since the spring of 2024 and seemed to lose interest after an early mistake at Windsor last month, though she was in decent form prior to that.

Toby Wynne | Mrs M Rowley | 10 | 70.8 kg |

Politacus (M)
[T]
Successful twice over hurdles in spring 2024 but well held both starts since a 19-month absence, including on chase bow at Uttoxeter 9 weeks ago.

Liam Harrison | F O'Brien | 8 | 70.3 kg |

Regal Renaissance (M)
Successful at Warwick last season off this mark and some decent efforts in defeat since, including here. Would surely have gone close had she not departed at the second last over C&D 9 weeks ago, and is a key player.
|
David Bass | H D Daly | 8 | 69.4 kg |

Holetown (M)
Dual chase winner in France for S. Dehez. Well held both starts for current yard (over hurdles) after 13 months off but better expected returned to chasing.

Charlie Deutsch | Miss V Williams | 6 | 68 kg |
