Maclaine (G)
Got off the mark over fences at Newbury in March 2024 but well below that form in only 2 starts since. Back from 17 months off here.

FAV
Well backed following a second breathing operation when all-the-way victor at Southwell in February. Not allowed to dominate when only third of 5 at Wincanton next time, though. Worth another chance.

Mumford's Magic (G)
[P1]
Better than ever when landing 5-runner handicap chase at Doncaster (3m) in February. Let down by his jumping when seventh of 8 at Warwick since though. Cheekpieces are now reached for. NON RUNNER.

Has improved for the switch to fences, notching his third win at Leicester in February. Cheekpieces added when posting good efforts to make the frame at Fontwell since. Must enter calculations eased 1 lb.
