Hang In There (G)
Returned to form when coming from well off the pace to land a veterans' handicap at Chepstow (23.6f, good to firm) last month. Remains feasibly treated up 5 lb, but it's unlikely that circumstances will pan out quite so favourably this tim…

Cruz Control (G)
[T]
Wasn't disgraced when fifth in 2024 Eider Chase here and otherwise unbeaten at this course (3-4 overall at Newcastle). Well below par first 2 starts last term, but looked better than ever when landing a major Aintree handicap during the sp…

Deafening Silence (G)
[P]
Grade 2 hurdles winner who opened chase account in first-time cheekpieces when taking a 3-runner novice at Warwick (3m, soft) in February. Suffered a heavy defeat back in handicap company at Uttoxeter the following month, but he remains on…

Dare To Shout (G)
[T]
Didn't need to improve much (if at all) to make a winning reappearance at Carlisle last month. However, he failed to match that at Kelso next time and others look better treated.

Docpickedme (G)
[PT]
Enhanced fine Doncaster record when a fortunate winner of the Great Yorkshire handicap chase in January. Pulled up in race won by Cruz Control at Aintree on final start of last season, but resumed with an encouraging fifth over hurdles and…

Jasmin De Grugy (G)
FAV
[T]
Multiple hurdles winner who bagged handicaps at Southwell and Newbury on first 2 starts in this sphere last season. Last seen finishing second in a pretty valuable Punchestown handicap chase (24.5f, good to soft) in May and he remains open…

Konfusion (G)
Much improved sent chasing during second half of last season, scoring twice, and took another step forward when making all on return in 8-runner Wetherby handicap chase (24.2f, good). Unseated rider before the race began in earnest at Hayd…

Hold That Taught (G)
[B1]
Low-mileage 10-y-o who won twice during 2023/24 campaign. Lightly raced and below that form since, though should be better for recent Bangor return and represents the yard responsible for the last 2 winners of this valuable handicap. Blink…
