Wal Buck's (G)
[V]
Found race falling apart making all in a first-time visor at Kelso (3¼m) in February. Failed to repeat that effort back on sounder surface when fourth at Haydock (3½m) 3 weeks ago but he's certainly not out of things now stamina is tested …

Pinot Rouge (M)
[B]
Successful in handicap hurdle here (23f) in June but has seemingly gone off the boil, finishing a well held fifth in that sphere at Wetherby (3m) 4 weeks ago. Blinkers quickly return in place of cheekpieces and others make much more appeal.

Karuma Grey (G)
Unreliable sort but he did run one of his better races starting out for new yard when fifth at Ffos Las (3m) 9 days ago, closing up late. However, overall profile suggests he's no sure thing to be in same form here.

Jo Coko (G)
FAV
[P]
Irish point winner who showed fair form over hurdles for James Ewart last season and better for return/yard debut effort when off the mark (also fitted with cheekpieces) in 8-runner novices' handicap chase at Uttoxeter (3¼m) 2 months ago, …

Marown (G)
[P]
Winless since 2021 but dropped a long way in the weights and showed first form of present campaign when third at Carlisle (24.5f) 17 days ago. Needs to build on that now tackling a significantly longer trip.

Planned Paradise (G)
Capitalised on a reduced mark in 11-runner handicap chase at Bangor (29.6f, soft) 4 weeks ago, drawing clear from last. Back up 9 lb but still handily weighted so well worth considering in this groove.

Shighness (M)
[P]
Out of form over fences but showed better signs on a rare start back hurdling when third of 7 in handicap at Sedgefield (27f, soft) 5 weeks ago. Needs to back it up now reverting back to fences.

Court At Slip (G)
[B]
More than 2 years have passed since his last success but he's dropped to a mark he can compete from and arrives on the back of 5 consecutive placed efforts, running creditably when second of 8 in 3m handicap chase at Wetherby 4 weeks ago. …

Don Brocco (G)
[T]
Scored over 3m at Carlisle last February and posted a good third in this 12 months ago. Has struggled this season though, undergoing breathing operation before pulled up in handicap chase at Kelso 27 days ago. Hard to fancy from out of the…

Rob Roy Macgregor (G)
[P]
It's now 16 runs since his last win in 2023 but he comes here in good form, second of 6 in 3m handicap chase at Ayr in February. Should stay this markedly longer trip but operating from 5 lb out of the weights on this occasion.

Gibberwell (G)
[B]
Very hard to catch right and having scored over 3m here 12 months ago, he's typically been more miss than hit since, typically racing lazily when pulled up at Carlisle (24.5f) last month. Passed over operating from out of the weights.
