Twinjets (G)
Made a perfect start to the season when making all at Fontwell in October and over C&D following month. Unseated rider 7th in 2m4f Cheltenham handicap on New Year's Day and remains one to be interested in after a break.

Blow Your Wad (G)
[TP]
Grade 2 novice chase winner in 2023/24. Lightly raced since but largely in good form for Tom Lacey and he made an excellent start for his new handler when third of 6 in Betfair Ascot Chase 14 days ago. Weighted to go well back in handicap …

Issam (G)
[T]
Got right back on the up with a most impressive success in 2m4f handicap chase at Kempton 26 days ago, quickening clear from last. Up 7 lb but he merits serious consideration.

Vincenzo (G)
FAV
[T]
Likeable sort who gained a deserved success (after back-to-back second placings in valuable events at Cheltenham) in 2m5f Ascot handicap last month. Ought to be in the shake-up nudged up 2 lb.

Heltenham (G)
[T]
A 3-time C&D winner, including in this in 2024. Fell both starts before well held in the face of a stiff task in Betfair Ascot Chase at Ascot last time but still can't be totally dismissed back here.

Teddy Blue (G)
[BT]
Returned in top form when scoring over 2m here in November and not discredited when fifth of 8 in 2m4f handicap chase at Musselburgh four weeks ago. Possibilities.

Josh The Boss (G)
[T]
Multiple hurdles winner who also scored over fences (around 2m4f) at Newbury and Doncaster in November. Posted a good second of 7 in 2m4f Newcastle handicap a week ago and can make his presence felt off an unchanged mark.

Glengouly (G)
[TP]
A useful chaser for Willie Mullins in 2024/25 and back to near that level when causing a surprise from 7 lb out of the handicap in December Gold Cup at Cheltenham. Possibly found the run coming too quickly when pulled up there 3 weeks late…

Triple Trade (G)
Veteran nowadays but he's enjoying a very good season, scoring at Cheltenham and Sandown beford posting a solid third of 11 in 2m4f Cheltenham handicap last month. In the mix once more.

Brendan Powell | J Tizzard | 10 | 68.5 kg |

Pleasington (G)
Fairly useful winning 2m hurdler but he's proved hit and miss over fences this season, well held when falling 3 out in 2m3f Wetherby handicap last month. Not ruled out though if back on his A-game.

Charlie Deutsch | O Murphy | 8 | 66.7 kg |

Koukeo (G)
Quick to make his mark sent chasing when going in (over 2m) at Windsor and Haydock in January. Not disgraced in his hat-trick bid when third of 5 in 2m Musselburgh handicap 27 days ago and can't be dismissed back up in trip.
