Lounge Lizard (G)
[BT1]
Has won the last 2 renewals of this race but he's not straightforward, running a moody race when pulled up at Hexham (20.1f, good to soft) on return. Absent again since (has had a wind op) ahead of first run since leaving Henry Daly. Tongu…

Mahons Glory (G)
Has looked a reformed character for current yard, making a bold bid when fourth of 17 in Grand Sefton at Aintree and second to a thriving rival at Market Rasen (21.4f, soft) 6 weeks ago. Major player back down in grade.

Reallyntruthfully (G)
Dual hurdles winner who made a successful start to his chase career at Fontwell (19.5f, good to soft) in October. Went backwards from that effort at Exeter the following month, though it still remains early days for him in this sphere.

Tax For Max (G)
Useful hurdler at best who made a winning chase debut in 2023/24. However, absent over 2 years/left Willie Mullins following final outing that season and hasn't been the same force this term, down the field in 20f handicap chases last 2 st…

Icare Grandchamp (G)

Has worked his way back to form this season following a lengthy absence, returning to winning ways in handicap at Plumpton (17f, soft) 20 days ago. Up in grade but he's respected with return to further promising to suit.
