Boombawn (G)
Plenty of creditable efforts in graded chases, including third in Silviniaco Conti Chase here in January but made it to 0-5 in handicap chases when well held at Cheltenham latest. Isn't the easiest to place nowadays and forecast rain unlik…

Henry's Friend (G)
[P]
Better than ever when landing Sodexo Gold Cup at Ascot on reappearance. Bounced back from another Cheltenham blip when not beaten far in the Silver Cup at Ascot last time but may prove vulnerable to improvers off current mark.

Soul Icon (G)
[T]
Beat Edwardstone to win competitive Grade 2 handicap chase here (2m) Christmas 2024 and returned to form despite a sticky round of jumping when close fourth behind The Doyen Chief over C&D last time. This is much more competitive, however.…

Deep Cave (G)
Finished last season with valuable hurdle success at Aintree and further progress back chasing this season, making it a cross-code hat-trick in Silver Cup at Ascot in December. Winning run ended in somewhat laboured fashion at Doncaster ho…

The Doyen Chief (G)
Strong-travelling sort for a stayer and he was slightly fortunate to make it 2-2 over C&D last month, handed initiative at last and all out to hold on. Escapes with only a 1 lb rise but faces a much more demanding assignment here.

Lookaway (G)
FAV
Likeable front-running hurdler who placed in Grade 2 as novice chaser last season and benefitted from others' mistakes when landing first handicap chase success over 2½m here last time, sticking to his task well. Looks well worth a try ove…

Katate Dori (G)
[VT]
Most progressive when winning this race in 2025 and looks at the top of his game this season, confirming promise of Coral Gold Cup sixth when just coming off second best at Cheltenham on New Year's Day. Excellent yard sure to have him prim…

Gustavian (G)
[T]
Better than ever when winning valuable Badger Beers at Wincanton on return and still in good form when fourth in Veterans' Final at Sandown last month, not helped by mistakes over Railway fences. More on his plate in this company.

Hoe Joly Smoke (G)
[TP1]
Won twice over this trip as a novice and dropped back to 2½m, found more off the bridle than has been the case when third in Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham in November. Not seen to same effect there last time but looks interesting now …

Chance Another One (G)
Made it 2-2 over fences with an assured C&D success in November and best not judged harshly on subsequent runs over inadequate trips. This yard (also saddle Rising Dust) more than capable of targeting a valuable prize and no surprise to se…

Leader In The Park (G)
Course winner finished ahead of a couple of next-time-out winners when encouraging second on reappearance at Newbury but left the impression all wasn't well behind Lookaway here in January. Unexposed as a staying chaser but Ben Jones prefe…

Rising Dust (G)
Continues to defy the handicapper, making it five wins from his last 6 starts in 14-runner handicap chase at Thurles (20.9f) last month. Up another 11 lb but he's in shrewd hands and could progress again returned to 3m.
