Pony Soprano (G)
FAV
[P1T1]
Placed for the third time when third of 4 in handicap chase at Newcastle (2m, heavy) 95 days ago but he's yet to fully convince as a chaser. Tongue strap and cheekpieces go on for 1st time.

Tune In A Box (G)
[P]
Signalled he is ready to go in over fences when a promising second of 8 in handicap chase at Sandown (3m, soft) 56 days ago, conceding first run to the winner. Major shout off an unchanged mark.

Stan Sheppard | T Lacey | 7 | 74.4 kg |

Ukantango (G)
[T]
First run over fences in almost 2 years when bagging 6-runner handicap chase at Southwell (2½m, good to soft) 31 days ago. Up 7 lb but scored comfortably there so not taken lightly.

S Bowen | O Murphy | 9 | 73.9 kg |

| 3rd | 4 | — |
Nickelforce (G)
Gained a deserved success at Wincanton in November. Off 5 months and shaped as if in need of the run when fourth of 6 at Newton Abbot (21f) four weeks ago. Can take a step forward.

Mr Charlie Case | B I Case | 7 | 73.9 kg |

Doyouknowwhatimean (G)
[P]
Unreliable sort who was pulled up in handicap chase at Bangor (2½m) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces go back on.

Benjamin Macey | G Hanmer | 9 | 73.5 kg |

| 6th | 6 | — |
Grand Clermont (G)
[T1]
French import who ended his time there with a pair of claiming chase wins, latest at Bordeaux (19f) in March. Fairly useful and this veteran is much respected for his new yard.

Rian Corcoran | D Pipe | 10 | 73 kg |

Ski Lodge (G)

Still to score over fences but cheekpieces on when a solid fourth of 11 in handicap chase at Haydock (3¼m, good) 28 days ago.

Start Again (G)
[T]
Progressive hurdler who scored at Exeter in October before a very good third of 5 at Ascot (2m) following month. Goes chasing after a six-month absence here.

Jack Hogan | F O'Brien | 6 | 71.2 kg |

Jet Smart (G)
Course winner last July but lightly raced and below par since, fourth of 5 in handicap chase here (3m) 6 months ago. Scored twice in points last month though so not out of things.

Bryan Carver | D Summersby | 8 | 70.8 kg |
