Monty's Star (G)
A little short of the very best but he is high class, including fourth to Inothewayurthinkin in last season's Cheltenham Gold Cup. Tackles his first handicap on reappearance. Bobs Worth in 2012 was the last horse to defy a higher mark in t…

Intense Raffles (G)
Smart chaser who won the 2024 Irish Grand National. Better than ever when second in Grade 3 Bobbyjo back at Fairyhouse last winter but below par when well-held third in Clonmel Grade 2 on reappearance. Others are preferred.

Three Card Brag (G)
[P]
Improved performer this season, building on his second to Spanish Harlem in the Kerry National with a win at Cheltenham (25f, good) last month. Another 6 lb rise demands more but no surprise were he to find it.

Spanish Harlem (G)
[TP]
Belatedly came good over fences in a Punchestown novice in June and smart and improved performance when following up in the Kerry National at Listowel 3 months later. Another big career best will be needed to follow up here.

Blizzard Of Oz (G)
Ended last season with a fine second in 2½m handicap at the Punchestown Festival and returned to go one better in a 23f Wexford listed chase 6 months later. His mark demands a high-class performance but he's unexposed at 3m+.

Resplendent Grey (G)
[P]
Ended last season with a win in bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown and backed that up with a reappearance success in 2½m Carlisle listed chase 4 weeks ago. The return to a longer trip now is in his favour, as is the long home straight here. The ch…

Grade 3 novice chase win last November. Creditable 4¼ lengths second of 5 to Firefox in Skymas Chase (9/4) at Down Royal (19.5f, good to soft) on reappearance 28 days ago. Significantly back up in trip. First start in a handicap over fence…

Lowry's Bar (G)
Took well to fences last season, winning 19f handicaps at Exeter and Chepstow before second of 3 in 3m Windsor Grade 2 novice. Found to have bled when pulled up in valuable handicap at Kempton final start. This a tough ask on reappearance.

Victtorino (G)
Largely progressive chaser who enhanced his excellent Ascot record when winning a couple of premier handicaps there last winter. Respectable 13¼ lengths seventh of 19 to Resplendent Grey in bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown on final start. Third …

Annual Invictus (G)
Front-runner who landed the Great Yorkshire Chase at Doncaster in January 2024 and only narrowly denied another big handicap success in the bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown that April (Nick Rockett in third). Not seen since but returns to action…

The Changing Man (G)

Grade 2 novice win at Ascot in between excellent runner-up efforts in Great Yorkshire at Doncaster (to Annual Invictus) and Ultima at Cheltenham (beaten 11 lengths by Myretown). Good second on 3m Ascot reappearance and the new cheekpieces …

Coped extremely well with the demands of a big-field handicap when bounding 11 lengths clear of The Changing Man in Ultima at last season's Cheltenham Festival (25f, good to soft). 15 lb higher here but there could be plenty more to come a…

O'Moore Park (G)

Yet to win over fences but has shown useful form and placed in competitive handicaps at Cheltenham (20.5f) in the spring. Creditable second in Galway maiden on 22.5f reappearance 5 weeks ago.

Panic Attack (M)
Rising 10 yet still improving, winning both chase starts since joining Dan Skelton, latterly the Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham (2½m, soft) on reappearance a fortnight ago. Whether she'll prove as effective over this far remains to be …

Katate Dori (G)

Much improved since sent chasing, winning first 3 times last season, including a valuable handicap at Kempton (3m, soft) in February. Excuses for his defeat in the Ultima at Cheltenham on final start and should be sharper for a spin over h…

The Doyen Chief (G)
On the up with 3m handicap wins at Kempton and Warwick and shaped well when second on Bangor reappearance (3m, heavy) 17 days ago. Same mark here. Enters the reckoning.

Grandeur D'ame (G)
Useful chaser who shaped as if retaining all his ability on his 19.5f Stratford reappearance in October, leading for long way but headed and weakening when fell last. Stamina isn't assured (below form in Ultima on previous attempt around 3…

Moon D'orange (G)
[P]
Won a 20.5f Cheltenham handicap chase last winter. Campaigned over hurdles this autumn, shaping better than the result when tenth of 17 in a Cheltenham handicap last month. Might make more of an impact back over the larger obstacles.

Pic Roc (G)
[P]
Useful form over fences, finally getting off the mark in 4-runner Huntingdon maiden (23.5f, good) in cheekpieces 27 days ago. This much more competitive scenario is likely to place a lot more pressure on his sometimes suspect jumping.

Inch House (G)

Pulled up on both outings last season but showed he retains ability when 9 lengths sixth of 18 to Three Card Brag in handicap at Cheltenham (25f, good) on reappearance 35 days ago. 2 lb out of handicap. Not as obvious as some but the same …

A Penny A Hundred (M)
Pretty useful but just a maiden success to her name over fences and 3½m seemed to stretch her stamina in Cork National last time. 2 lb wrong at the weights.
