Buckna (G)
[P]
Scored twice over fences at Hereford before Christmas and bounced back from a couple of poor efforts when (cheekpieces on) third of 8 to The Boola Boss at Chepstow (3m) 24 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Headgear retaine…

Fairlawn Flyer (G)
[P]
A 4-time C&D winner but he saw his run of good form come to a halt when pulled up in handicap chase at Kelso (4m) in December. Needs to bounce back after a break.

The Boola Boss (G)
FAV
[T]
Resumed winning ways in 8-runner handicap chase at Chepstow (3m) 24 days ago. Tongue strap goes back on. Up 5lb but still weighted to go well again.

Imperial Alex (G)
[P]
In good form last summer, scoring at Perth, but he has struggled for form since November. Others appeal more.

Galop De Chasse (G)
Arrives out of sorts, only seventh of 11 in handicap chase at Newbury (2¾m) 46 days ago. Not easy to make a case for despite a plummeting mark.

Copshill Lad (G)
[P]
Better than ever after a 3-month break with victory in 5-runner handicap chase at Southwell (3¼m) 42 days ago. Merits consideration despite 4 lb weights rise.

Karuma Grey (G)
[T]
Course winner but he's an unreliable type and was pulled up in handicap chase at Hexham (4m) 41 days ago. Back down in trip here with tongue strap refitted.

Hell Hound (G)
[T]
Lightly-raced 7-y-o who was vastly improved from his chasing debut when cosily winning 5-runner handicap chase at Southwell (3m) 34 days ago. Up 6 lb but could have more to offer. Big player.

Arrycan (G)
Not won since 2023 and his form in Ireland was patchy at best. Looked rusty after 6 months off for his new yard when a well-held fifth of 7 in handicap chase at Ludlow (3m) 13 days ago.

Balkardy (G)
Scored over hurdles here last June but pulled up back chasing in handicap at Ludlow (3¼m) 180 days ago. Hard to warm to.
