Crest Of Fortune (G)
[T]
Useful novice hurdler last season, including third in 3m Grade 1 at this meeting. Matched that form in defeat first 2 starts over fences but reportedly amiss in Kauto Star at Kempton on Boxing Day (bled) and latest Ascot run hardly brimmin…

Doyen Quest (G)
Useful hurdler who ran his best race when jumping boldly to score at Exeter in November. Might have pressed on too soon when 12 lengths second of 4 to Salver in Grade 2 at Sandown and while he got closer to that rival at Windsor, he has hi…

Gold Dancer (G)
FAV
[T]
Completed a hat-trick in Grade 3 at Tipperary in October. Runner-up in a brace of Grade 1s after and ran a cracker switched to a handicap when second in Golden Miller Novices' Chase at Cheltenham. Has to conclusively prove he stays 3m+ but…

Jordans Cross (G)
[T]
Irish point winner was quick to switch to fences and he looked an exciting prospect when going 3-4 in Timeform Novices' Handicap at Cheltenham in January. That race typically worked out well and it's easy enough to excuse effort in the Gol…

Miami Magic (G)
Useful novice hurdler and already better over fences, excellent third of 4 in Scilly Isles at Sandown flanked by a brace of victories in 5-runner novice events (defeating Regent's Stroll on first occasion). Stamina looks his forte and he h…

Regent's Stroll (G)

Well regarded and talented bumper performer who was collared close home in Grade 1 at this meeting a year ago. Won a match on second chase start in December and again jumped well when third in the Golden Miller Novices' Chase at Cheltenham…

Salver (G)
FAV
[P]
Smart hurdler and similar standard over fences, winning 3m Grade 2s at Sandown and Windsor this winter, beating Doyen Quest on each occasion. Stuck to it really well when 3 lengths third of 14 to Kitzbuhel in Brown Advisory Novices' Chase …

Wendigo (G)
Wasted little time surpassing his hurdles form over fences, winning novices at Newbury (2½m Grade 2) in November and Ayr (3m, heavy) in January. Good third to Kitzbuhel in Kauto Star at Kempton in between and would have finished close to S…
