Great D'Ange (G)
[TV]
A C&D winner but he's an untrustworthy individual who has yet to show any form in 4 runs for his current yard, ninth of 10 in handicap hurdle at Stratford (2¾m) 34 days ago. Plenty to prove returned to chasing.

Winning Paddy (G)
[P]
Winning pointer who left his previous form under Rules behind when landing a C&D handicap chase in June. Not disgraced when last of 5 back hurdling here 3 weeks ago. Considered reverting back to this sphere.

Longhouse Star (G)
[PT]
Little form of note over hurdles and fences for Sam Curling when last seen out in August 2024. A multiple winning pointer since though so no surprise to see him take a big step forward for top yard, especially if the market vibes are posit…

McGregors Charge (G)
Got off the mark over fences at Perth (3m) in August for Ella Pickard. Gambled on but well held both runs at Taunton in April for Kayley Woollacott (bled on latter occasion) and starts out for another new stable here.

Daring Plan (G)
[P]
Finally got off the mark under Rules in 10-runner handicap chase at Uttoxeter (3m) 20 days ago. Had the race run to suit there though and up 4 lb here.

He Is A Cracker (G)
[T]
Built on earlier promise when landing handicap chase at Fontwell in October. Not in same form either start thereafter though, so needs to take a big step forward after a 6-month absence.

Blackacre (G)
[V]
Dual C&D winner last August. Remote fifth back hurdling in handicap at Ffos Las (3m) in May. Could bounce back though with visor (both wins gained in it) refitted off a falling mark.

Radharc Na Slaine (G)

[PT]
Finally off the mark over fences at Stratford in September. Underwent a breathing operation before a good third of 9 in 3m handicap chase at Bangor a week ago. Very much one to consider off the same mark.
