The Clonmel Kid (G)
[P]
Below par over hurdles this season but he shaped well on his chase debut in first-time cheekpieces when fourth of 9 in 3m Wetherby handicap 15 days ago. Can take a step forward in retained headgear.

Empty Nest (G)
FAV
[T]
Scored twice last season (including over C&D), but his form has dipped of late, only fifth of 7 in handicap chase at Wetherby 25 days ago. On a good mark back at this venue in a race that won't take much winning.

Hawkseye View (G)
FAV
[P]
Finally got off the mark under Rules over C&D in March but expensive to follow otherwise and well held in Carlisle handicap last time. Handily weighted if back on his A-game, however.

Bravethewaves (G)
[PT]
Standout efforts this season when winning over fences at Southwell in November and Doncaster in February. Not easy to catch right though, and below-par seventh reverted to hurdles at Southwell last time.

Quickasican (G)
[PT]
Placed first 3 starts over hurdles in 2022/23 for Rebecca Menzies but very lightly raced/little impact since, in mid-field when falling 3 out at Sedgefield over fences last month.

Peter Kavanagh | J Bedi | 9 | 70.3 kg |

Kingston Rock (G)
[P]
Unreliable maiden who showed his first form over fences when fourth of 10 in handicap chase over C&D 11 days ago. Cheekpieces go back on.
