Elvis Mail (G)
[T]
Veteran who landed 3m2f handicap chase at Kelso last autumn. Only twice raced since but not all discredited back over hurdles when fifth of 7 in handicap at Ayr (24.3f, soft) 32 days ago. Needs considering reverted to fences.

Does He Know (G)
[P]
Smart chaser who took the Grimthorpe Chase at Doncaster in 2024. Ended last term not in the same form but handily weighted for his return and no surprise to see him bounce back with yard well among the winners.

Dunboyne (G)
FAV
In fine form for his current yard since the spring, bagging Ulster National at Downpatrick (3m4f) in March. Posted another good effort when third of 19 in 3m Navan handicap 17 days ago so must enter calculations.

Digby (G)
[T]
Scored over hurdles and fences in the spring but below par since, tongue strap back on when sixth of 14 in 2m4f Naas handicap hurdle 24 days ago. Has a bit to prove now.

[P]
Added to his tally when awarded a veterans' race at Cartmel (29.4f) in May. Not disgraced when third of 5 in handicap chase at Carlisle (20f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Back up in trip now and no forlorn hope.

Pats Fancy (G)
[P]
Bagged a pair of 3m Chepstow handicap chases in December 2021. Lightly-raced and largely out of sorts since but he hinted at a revival in cheekpieces when fourth of 13 in 3m1f handicap chase at Ffos Las 36 days ago. Possibilities with head…
