Etalon (G)
[PT]
Responded well to a combination of cheekpieces and an attacking ride when landing the biggest pot of his career at Ascot in December. Ran at least as well from this mark when third there last month, headed only at the last after forcing pa…

Bad (G)
Hasn't always been a strong finisher but is a 3-time winner here across the past 12 months, including this race last season and over 18f on comeback. Ran on surprisingly well having come under pressure some way out when second of 9 at Asco…

Viroflay (G)
Useful hunter chaser for Olive Nicholls and has made a sound start re-united with this yard, building on a good second here in November when producing another fluent round of jumping to win a 7-runner handicap chase here (3m, good) 56 days…

Riskintheground (G)
[T]
Landed valuable events at Ayr and Cheltenham last spring and proved game when resuming winning ways in a Newton Abbot intermediate event in October. Found out in top handicap company since and out of depth at Grade 2 level last time, so ot…

Califet En Vol (G)

Dual winner as a novice over hurdles, including a listed contest at Huntingdon. Hasn't yet kicked on as anticipated from an encouraging chase debut, merely matching previous form when fifth at Cheltenham (20.6f, soft) 28 days ago, but it's…

Loughderg Rocco (G)
Looked a potentially smart novice chaser when beating Unexpected Party in impressive fashion in a 6-runner event at Leicester in December 2022 but absent since and can only be monitored having since left L J Morgan.

Es Perfecto (G)
[P]
Won over C&D last term before doubling his tally for the year at Sandown. No impact in major handicaps at Cheltenham either start this term, though, and others make more appeal.

Javert Allen (G)
Enthusiastic front-runner who took well to fences last season, winning twice over 2m, and he's advanced his form with runner-up finishes at Aintree and Newbury in November. Shaped well upped in trip when third at Cheltenham (20.6f, soft) 2…

Shakeyatailfeather (M)
Resumed progress with a ready success in 5-runner contest at Kelso (17f, good) in October. By no means disgraced in a stronger Ascot handicap the following month but not in same form next time and presumably just having a pipe-opener when …
