| 2nd | 1 | — |
Knickerbockerglory (G)
Likeable front runner proved as good as ever (under ideal conditions) when second to Go Dante at Sandown (soft) in December. Posted a rare poor effort at Windsor the following month, though he has been freshened up for this.

Aurigny Mill (G)
[P]
Back up in grade having looked as good as ever when notching a third course success at Taunton last time, but he should find this run to suit and can at least be competitive off 3 lb higher.

The Four Sixes (G)
Made all in corresponding race in 2025 and while 3 lb lower than his latest hurdle success (not been seen to best effect at Kempton last time), he's unlikely to get his own way in front this time around.

Magistrato (G)
[T]
Much improved when dominating a trio of small-field chases last year and while best not judged on his run in listed handicap at Wetherby in October, he has plenty to find at the weights back over hurdles.

Static (G)
FAV
[H]
Capitalised on falling mark under more positive ride at Haydock earlier this month, though he's tactically versatile and should hold his own back up in grade

Norman Fletcher (G)
Returns from a break having been out of sorts this season, finishing midfield in a competitive 0-120 at Ascot in December. However, he's well worth another go over this sort of trip and is potentially well-treated if back on song.

P9837-7 | James Turner | N & W Twiston-Davies | 7 | 67.1 kg |

Nowmelad (G)
Free-going sort (often ridden prominently) found only one too good for the third consecutive start at Hereford (2m) in January, but he's in deeper waters here. Engaged 3.00 Newbury Friday.

In The Age (G)
£100,000 pointer (also fairly useful in bumpers) who was well suited by return to less testing conditions when opening hurdle account at Catterick on New Year's Day. Only matched that form on soft ground when second on handicap bow at Utto…
