Montmartin (G)
[T]
Shaped pretty well back from almost 2 years off when third of 11 on chase debut at Ffos Las (3m, good to soft) last April but not seen again until pulling up (reported to have bled) at Lingfield in January.

Flemenstide (G)
[P]
Bumper/hurdles winner for Paul Nicholls but off 3 years prior to offering little in 2 handicap chases for this yard in recent weeks.

| 1st | 3 | — |
Moor End (G)
[T]
Made a winning chase debut at Uttoxeter (2½m) in October and placed on all 3 completed starts since (all 2½m). Likely to have a big say if his stamina holds back up in trip.

Lily Pinchin | Mrs E Bishop | 7 | 75.3 kg |

Benignitas (M)
[P]
Point winner. Maiden under Rules but has been placed in 2½m Ffos Las handicap chases on 2 of his 3 outings since switched to fences. Up in trip.

Mr D Andrews | Gordon Treacy | 9 | 74.8 kg |

| 3rd | 5 | — |
Just In A Bit (G)
Lightly-raced 8-y-o who has been placed on all 3 outings since switched to fences and the step back up to around 3m now should play to his strengths. Major claims.

Toby Wynne | Mrs M Rowley | 8 | 73.5 kg |

Bridget Mary (M)
[T]
Both wins have come over fences, latterly over 3m at Bangor last April. Good second (clear of rest) there on reappearance in October but his 2 efforts since have been disappointing. Bounce back needed after 12 weeks off.

Tom Taggle (G)
FAV
Ended last season with a C&D win in April. Ran close to that form when third at Taunton in November but he needs to shrug off a poor run at Exeter since.

Conor Ring | Mrs C Williams | 6 | 71.2 kg |

Badentaggart (G)

Poor form over hurdles, including 2 handicaps. Switches to fences for the first time now.

Yes And Yes (G)
Successful over 19.5f here last March but hasn't got near that level in his 3 outings this season. It remains to be seen whether a return to Chepstow helps to spark a revival.

Night Jet (G)
[P]
Landed a 2m Leicester handicap chase last winter and back on song when runner-up there (2m again) on his last 2 outings. Arrives in better form that most but this significantly longer trip is an unknown.
