Successful at Hereford and Exeter last season but just one decent effort so far this season, running badly the last twice.

Fuji Flight (G)
[B]
Has been a long way below his best since returning from 2 years off last spring, running no sort of race at Market Rasen 6 weeks ago. Change of headgear.

Fern Hill (G)
Recorded a first success since 2022 when making a winning return in 5-runner contest at Uttoxeter and followed up in veterans' chase at Huntingdon. However, failed to convince with his attitude last 2 starts so arrives here with a bit to p…

Ithaka (G)
[T]
Matched hurdles form when off the mark over fences at Hereford (25.2f) in January, albeit not jumping with great fluency. Shaped as if still in good form running in a marathon event from out of the handicap at Exeter since and this test mo…

Handin Manypockets (G)
Similar form all 3 starts over hurdles, only fifth of 6 on handicap bow at Taunton last time. Big improvement required on chase bow off current mark (placed in points).

Express Surprise (G)
FAV
[T]
Winner of 3m soft-ground handicaps at Wetherby and Uttoxeter in December. Continued in good form when fourth of 16 at Windsor (29f, soft) 56 days ago and he holds leading claims faced with a less competitive scenario now.

Always Busy (G)
Thorough stayer who was twice successful in the first half of 2025. Has struggled for consistency since but drops markedly in grade here and return to left-handed track will suit.

Call Me Arthur (G)
Hurdles winner who stepped up again over fences when winning at Huntingdon in January in clear-cut fashion. Got no further than the first at Taunton next time, though, crashing through a running rail when loose. Remains with potential in t…

Annie Express (M)
[V1]
Defied a lengthy absence in good style at Ludlow on stable debut in January. Probably found next run coming too soon but dropped away tamely back over hurdles 4 weeks ago. Change of headgear.

Better Off Alone (G)

Maiden who fared much better over fences the last twice but still looks high enough in the weights.

Check The Score (G)
[P]
Irish point/bumper winner who made a winning handicap/chase debut fitted with cheekpieces at Market Rasen last season. Respectable return after a year off when second at Southwell over hurdles last month and expected to step up on that bac…

The Big Reveal (G)
[P]
Opened account in Lingfield handicap chase (23.5f) on return. Seemed to have race in safe keeping when coming down 2 out here in January and gained swift compensation back over C&D following month. Big player.
