Potters Party (G)
FAV
[PT]
Fairly useful chaser at best for Henry de Bromhead. Making second start under Rules for current yard, returned to winning ways with a 7-length success in 6-runner hunter chase at Ludlow 3 weeks ago. The one to beat.

Foxinthebox (G)
[B1]
Fair winner over hurdles for Olly Murphy but finished down the field only chase start back in summer 2024. Has won on his last 2 outings in points for this yard, the latest by 30 lengths albeit in a weak 3-runner race last month.

Phantoms Cave (G)

Took a while to get off the mark in points but successful on his last 2 completed starts. Fitted with hood for Rules debut, was beaten only by the odds-on favourite in 8-runner maiden hunter at Kelso 23 days ago. Open to improvement in thi…

Ruler Of The River (M)
[PT]
Made a winning stable debut for Fergal O'Brien in handicap hurdle at Plumpton in September. However, little impact in points this spring for current yard, so looks to be up against it as she makes her first chase start.
