Gunsight Ridge (G)
[PT]
Smart chaser at his best. Has been operating below his best in 3 outings this season but a potential classy sort for this grade if a recent wind operation has had a positive effect.

Pull Again Green (G)
[T]
Successful in handicaps at Worcester and Market Rasen last summer. Had lost his form when last seen in the autumn but it's possible a break will have revived him.

Neon Moon (G)
[BT]
Scored at Ascot in November. Respectable fourth at Ludlow in December. Fell around halfway back at Ascot last time (too far out to predict anything).

Outlaw Peter (G)
FAV
[T]
Enjoyed a fruitful first campaign over fences in 2023/24, winning 3 times. Below that level in a light career since but offered more tackling veterans' company for the first time at Warwick last month, seeming to pay for making a big move …

Embittered (G)
[PT]
Won a claiming hurdle and handicap chase in Ireland for Eric McNamara last summer. Left that stable after finishing a remote second in a Limerick claiming hurdle last month.

Can You Call (G)
[T]
Ended a losing run stretching back almost 3 years in veterans' event at Cheltenham (20.5f) in December. Not in anything like the same form when last of 4 in another veterans' race at Sandown in January but he's capable of bouncing back aft…

Time To Bite (G)
[B]
Five chase wins since March (including C&D). Also took advantage of his lower hurdle mark here when last seen in October. Could have a big say again if fully primed after 136 days off.

Genois (G)
Justified support when taking advantage of a much-reduced mark at Wetherby (19f) on Boxing Day. Confirmed his return to form when runner-up back there in January and he continues to look well treated on his peak form.
