Twinjets (G)
Made a perfect start to the season when making all at Fontwell and over C&D. However, failed to complete next 2 starts, running no sort of race in Greatwood Gold Cup here 3 weeks ago.

Hercule Du Seuil (G)
[HT]
Smart chaser for Willie Mullins and caught the eye starting out for this yard at Doncaster 3 weeks ago, finishing with plenty of running left under considerate handling. One to note.

Knappers Hill (G)
Prolific over hurdles and landed a Grade 2 novice on second chase start at Wincanton in November 2023. However. missed the next 2 years and yet to fully convince he retains all of his ability, turning in a lacklustre display at Warwick lat…

Heltenham (G)
FAV
[T]
Winner of this race in 2023 and 2024. Added another C&D win to his tally in Greatwood Gold Cup 3 weeks ago, looking as good as ever. Likely to make another bold bid.

Coastguard Station (G)
