Doddiethegreat (G)
[TP]
Winner of Pertemps Final at the Cheltenham Festival last year and has advanced his form in graded events this season, though at the same time having his limitations exposed. Usual cheekpieces reapplied but looks an easy swerve kept to this…

Hewick (G)
[B]
High-class chaser (winner of the 2023 King George at Kempton) and no slouch in this sphere either but evidence this season suggests his best days are behind him.

Hiddenvalley Lake (G)
Smart staying hurdler who was successful in this race last season. Tends to go well fresh but proved easy to back and failed to fire on return at Navan in February. Leap of faith required to get involved but he's certainly capable.

Home By The Lee (G)
[B]
Seemingly as good as ever at the age of 11, becoming the first in history to win a Championship race at the Cheltenham Festival at the fifth time of asking when landing last month's Stayers' Hurdle. Shouldn't be underestimated despite his …

Honesty Policy (G)
FAV
[T1]
Completed hat-trick in 2½m Grade 1 novice at this meeting last year and has advanced his form in defeat this season, a falsely-run race on undemanding ground preventing him raising his game sufficiently in Stayers' Hurdle last month. Tongu…

Impose Toi (G)
[P]
Progressive over 3m this season, completing hat-trick in Grade 1 Long Walk at Ascot in December. Looked unsuited by emphasis on stamina when 7 lengths behind Ma Shantou in Cleeve Hurdle in January but simply failed to fire in Stayers' Hurd…

Jingko Blue (G)
Very useful novice over hurdles who quickly made up into a smart chaser in 2024/25, successful on both completed starts. Back in this sphere this season and landed a significant gamble when making every yard in BetMGM Cup at Cheltenham las…

Strong Leader (G)
[T1P]
Won this in 2024 (also second last year) and has proved better than ever this season, winning Grade 2 at Wetherby on reappearance prior to finishing runner-up to Impose Toi at Newbury/Ascot. Tailed off in Cleeve Hurdle in January but bette…

Air Of Entitlement (M)
Lightly-raced 7-y-o who delivered at the Cheltenham Festival for the second year in succession when landing Martin Pipe last month, showing improvement to win such a competitive race on only her second handicap start. Upped to 3m for the f…

Consistent mare who resumed winning ways in 3m listed hurdle at Doncaster in December. Produced a career best with the hood quickly discarded on her return to a handicap when runner-up in Pertemps Final last month but she's a big outsider …
