Brandy Mcqueen (G)
Point winner having left Gary Rutherford and showed the vast majority of his old ability is intact in making a winning hunter debut at Catterick (25f) last month, accelerating clear from Lunar Contact. This is tougher but he can't be dismi…

Lunar Contact (G)

Point winner fit from that sphere when chasing home Brandy McQueen at Catterick 6 weeks ago. Second in this race last year and probably looking at a place again.

Nassalam (G)

Smart chaser at his peak (wide-margin winner of the 2023 Welsh Grand National). Patently the class act if running to anywhere near his best now tackling a hunter for new trainer, but fair bit to prove having been pulled up on his last 5 ou…

Potters Party (G)
[TV1]
Fairly useful chaser at best for Henry de Bromhead. Runner-up on second of 3 starts in points, third of 4 finishers last time (Apr 4). Bit to find on hunter chase debut.

Whatdeawant (G)

Third in the Ballymore at the 2022 Cheltenham Festival at his peak. Has thrived in points since last seen under Rules, winning 5 of 7 starts, all under this rider who has first mount under Rules here. Respected.

Settle Down Jill (M)
Novice hurdle winner for Dan Skelton in October. Better effort in hunters when second at Carlisle 5 weeks ago, making too many errors to trouble the winner. This is tougher on first go over 3m.
