Denemethy (G)
[T]
Off the mark at third attempt over fences at Market Rasen on Boxing Day 2024 and largely consistent in defeat since. On the downside, he wasn't able to capitalise on what looked a good opportunity at Leicester last time and record in this …

Thelasthighking (G)
Successful over fences at Wincanton and Southwell during 2022/23 campaign. Absent since failing to fire both starts in the early part of last season but he has slipped to a potentially handy mark and is therefore dangerous to discount unde…

Jorebel (G)
Completed a hat-trick over hurdles at Worcester in October and successful first 2 starts over fences late last year. Failed to land a meaningful blow back from a break over C&D 9 days ago but should be sharper now.

[T]
Point/hurdles winner who was placed 4 times in this sphere during the winter. However, he doesn't always find much when push comes to shove, with neither a breathing operation nor a first-time tongue strap having any obvious positive effec…

My Friend Sean (G)
[PT]
Completed a hurdles hat-trick at Uttoxeter last May and produced his most convincing round of jumping to date when third in a 7-runner Chepstow handicap last month. 2 lb lower now and wouldn't be without hope here if able to build on that.

Pep Talking (G)
[P]
Enhanced good strike rate over fences at Wetherby in November, aided in no small part by a terrific round of jumping. Reported to have bled when pulled up at Wincanton later that month and, though absent since, he will be a danger to all i…
