Doyouknowwhatimean (G)
In fine form for Dan Skelton last spring, winning 2m handicap chases at Chepstow and Worcester. Positive start for this yard when going close at Uttoxeter (2½m, heavy) in December but pulled up at Wetherby since.

Get Up Mush (G)
Took really well to fences in 2024, winning 3 times, but well beaten in 2 outings this winter after a 15-month absence. Being dropped 4 lb can only help but the betting is perhaps the best guide to expectations.

Gaelic Rambler (G)
[T]
Placed in a pair of 3m Chepstow maiden hurdles last spring but was weakening when unseating 3 out in Wincanton handicap chase on reappearance. Entitled to strip fitter now.

He Knows Better (G)
FAV
Maiden hurdle winner in spring 2024 and has been shaping up well in handicap chases since returning from a long absence. Had a subsequent winner behind in third when runner-up again last time and can go one better now.

William Cody (G)
Huntingdon winner on soft last season. Back at that sort of level when second at Catterick in November. Not in quite the same form when beaten 16½ lengths into third at Leicester since but still respected here.

Disguisedlimit (G)

Promise when placing in 3 of his 4 starts switched to fences this winter and should go well if reacting positively to the first-time tongue tie.

Noche Negra (G)
[P]
Got back on the up in no uncertain terms for a new yard after 8 months off when bolting up in 2½m Warwick handicap (soft) last winter but hasn't got close to that form in 2 outings this season. Found to have an irregular heartbeat when pul…

Rule Me In (G)
Course maiden hurdle winner last February. Has yet to really get going in handicaps this time round (including 3 chases) but there is still time for it to click with him.
