Strong Leader (G)
[P]
Smart stayer who landed the Liverpool Hurdle in April 2024 and followed up on his reappearance last term in this very race. Made a winning start this season, too, in a Wetherby Grade 2 (3m, good) and another bold show is on the cards.

Doddiethegreat (G)
[PT]
Scaled new heights when seeing off stablemate Jeriko du Reponet in the Pertemps Final at the Cheltenham Festival (3m, good to soft) in March. Solid 1½ lengths third to Strong Leader on return at Wetherby, proving that he can mix it in grad…

Ahoy Senor (G)
Very smart chaser at his best and caught the eye when third on his reappearance last season in the Old Roan at Aintree. Has struggled since, including on return this time round in the same race, but he's 2-2 in this sphere and will be a bi…

Botox Has (G)
[B]
Good third in the Cleeve Hurdle at Cheltenham in January, but he was otherwise below par last season and is probably worth taking on back from a 7-month absence.

Hewick (G)
[B]
High-class chaser (winner of the 2023 King George at Kempton) and no slouch in this sphere either, as he reiterated with an easy all-the-way success on return at Thurles. The run may have come too soon when well held back over fences at We…

Impose Toi (G)
FAV
Developed into a mainstay in top handicap hurdles last season and boasts a superbly consistent record. Displayed a good turn of foot when making a winning reappearance at Aintree (24.7f, good) and looks ready for this step up in class. Big…

Take No Chances (M)
Winner of listed race at Wetherby and mares' Grade 2 at Ascot last term. Built on encouraging reappearance in a Chepstow handicap when just touched off by Strong Leader back at Wetherby last time and she should give another good account.
