Taita Hills (G)
[P1]
Winning pointer who opened his account over hurdles at Sandown last winter. Promise in defeat over fences this season and the increased stamina test he faces this afternoon should suit. Also wears first-time cheekpieces. Considered.

Largy Force (M)
FAV
Has made a very good start to life with the Olly Murphy yard, winning handicaps here (2½m, heavy) and at Wetherby (19f, soft) this winter. Has stamina to prove now stepping up in trip but merits respect in her current mood.

Masters Legacy (G)
[P1]
Respectable fourth on Ascot reappearance over 3m in November but could only manage a distant fourth at Hereford the following month. Has first-time cheekpieces back from 108 days off.

The Newest One (G)
[V]
Cheltenham winner in October 2024 but much more miss than hit since. Step back in the right direction when second at Warwick (2m) at the end of December but never going in a first-time visor (retained) at Ludlow since.

Inflexible (G)
[P]
Improved to get off the mark fitted with cheekpieces in a Wincanton handicap chase (25f) in April 2024. Would have finished a clear second had he not fallen 2 out back at Wincanton in October of that year (final start for Tom George) but n…

The Long Point (G)
[P]
Winner of small-field handicap chases around 3m on soft ground at Doncaster and Wincanton in recent months. Only raised another 3 lb but this is a deeper race and he'll need to pull out more to complete a hat-trick.

Bank On Frank (G)
Runner-up sole start in points and has immediately stepped up on his hurdle form switched to fences, building on his Fontwell second when scoring easily over 3m at Southwell (soft) last month. Even a 10 lb rise may not stop him with furthe…

Jasmin De Cotte (G)
Fairly useful chase winner at his best in Ireland for Paul Nolan. Below that level for Dan Skelton, with his recent 2½m course success coming in very fortuitous circumstances (17 lengths down when left clear 2 out). Opposable.

Bali Body (G)
[P1T]
Low mileage 11-y-o who shaped like a non-stayer in 29.5f handicap at Bangor last month on his first outing for Stuart Edmunds. Has had a breathing operation since and also has first-time cheekpieces added to his tongue tie. Hard to assess …
