King Turgeon (G)
[PT]
Landed hat-trick last season but hasn't fired this campaign, well held sixth in valuable handicap at Cheltenham in December, having won the corresponding race in 2025. Does benefit from a drop in grade, though.

Manothepeople (G)
[P]
Again below form at Ascot in November and may have one eye on 3m2f handicap at Cheltenham next month (has won previous 2 renewals).

Makin'yourmindup (G)
Useful winner of back-to-back C&D handicaps in spring of 2024 but has failed to see out his race both starts since returning from an absence, latterly in Surrey National at Lingfield in January.

Ballycamus (G)
[P1]
Sketchy jumper has been hit-and-miss since pulling clear with subsequent Cheltenham winner Ask Brewster on reappearance, not in same form when seeking to land a double at Ludlow last time. However, he does look the type to benefit from the…

Almazhar Garde (G)
[P]
In good heart prior to being let down by his jumping in a veterans race at Doncaster and looks up against it back in open company.

Elysian Knight (G)
FAV
[P1]
Went the right way over hurdles and having split useful pair on second start over fences, failed to build on that promise over C&D last time. First-time headgear and retention of Sean Bowen both positives, however.

Some Scope (G)
[TV]
Last season's Rowland Meyrick winner looked revitalised by visor (retained) when scoring at Doncaster but wasn't helped by an overly-aggressive ride when distant second in Grimthorpe there last time. Still on handy mark, though, and bookin…

Havaila (G)
FAV
Built on fine run of form from last season with career best third on Windsor reappearance and despite having disappointed over C&D subsequently (effort flattened out having typically taken strong hold), he's more than earned a second chanc…
