Homme Public (G)
[BT]
Three-time chase winner during 2023/24 campaign and back on the scoresheet in this sphere at Doncaster last winter. Failed to fire with cheekpieces refitted on return at Wetherby, but that was a Grade 3 handicap chase and this is easier ba…

Serious Operator (G)
FAV
[T]
On a good mark judged on exploits from a couple of seasons back and while he didn't show much spark in 2 runs last term, there have been more positive signs in handicaps at Kelso and Aintree since returning to action in September. Trip/gro…

Ginger Mail (G)
[P]
Fortunate winner when stepped up in distance at Ayr (20.5f, soft) in January and has followed that with 3 rather disappointing efforts, including when returning from a break at the beginning of the month.

Hamsiyann (G)
[T]
Bagged a 21f Cheltenham handicap on his reappearance last term, but has failed to make an impact since and got no further than first flight when bidding for a repeat in that same Cheltenham race a fortnight ago. Still, this Irish raider is…

Brace For Landing (G)
Made the frame both starts in France and should come on for his encouraging reappearance/British debut third in a Stratford novice hurdle (16.3f, good to soft) now moving up in trip for this handicap bow. Very interesting.

Dinons (G)
[P]
Veteran who produced his best effort for a while when finding just one too good in a 7-runner handicap here (23.7f, good to soft) recently. Remains on a potentially handy mark up 2 lb, but it remains to be seen if he'll be able to build on…
