Noble Birth (G)
[T]
Largely disappointing for Gavin Cromwell this season and is likely best watched on debut for new yard here.

Fortunedefortunata (G)
[P]
Bounced back to form, on second start for new yard, when third of 11 in handicap chase at Haydock (3½m, good) 9 days ago, going in snatches. Claims if building on that.

El Granjero (G)
FAV
[P]
Reliable sort who won his sole start in Irish points and has improved as a chaser, making the frame again when good second of 8 in handicap chase over similar trip at Warwick (29f, good to soft) 47 days ago. Shortlist material.

James Bowen | C Boultbee-Brooks | 7 | 75.7 kg |

Brandt (G)
Wasn't seen to best effect when respectable sixth of 15 in handicap chase over this sort of trip at Downpatrick 26 days ago and remains on a workable mark. Respected.

Gringo D'aubrelle (G)
[P]
Won over hurdles at Navan in December but ran no sort of race in this sphere at same course latest. Others more convincing.

| 2nd | 6 | — |
Busty Boy (G)
Winless since scoring at Kelso back in October 2023 but rarely finishes out of the frame, including when second in this contest 12 months ago. Arrives on back of solid second at Bangor (2½m, good to soft) 24 days ago and is likely to be in…

Fever Dream (G)
[T]
Built on encouraging return effort when winning 8-runner handicap chase at Warwick (3m, good to soft, 7/2) 29 days ago. Remains feasibly treated and looks worth a crack at this longer trip.

Jack Tudor | Christian Williams | 8 | 70.8 kg |

Stratagem (G)
[TP]
Posted best effort for new yard when taking 5-runner handicap chase at Sedgefield (3¼m, good to soft) 23 days ago, soon clear. This is much more competitive but he can't be ruled out.

Shane Fenelon | M Bowen | 10 | 70.8 kg |

Express Surprise (G)
[T]
Won 3 of his 5 starts this season, latest when taking 11-runner handicap chase at Chepstow (3m, good to soft) 40 days ago, driven out. Raised 7 lb since but must enter calculations.

Ned Fox | C Boultbee-Brooks | 7 | 70.3 kg |

Breeze Of Wind (G)
[B1T]
Excellent second in Borders National at Kelso in December and back to that sort of form when creditable third of 6 in handicap chase at same course (3¼m, good to soft) 34 days ago. Blinkers on first time. Not out of things.

President Scottie (G)
[P]
Eleven runs since last win in 2024 but took step back in right direction when creditable fifth of 12 in handicap chase at Carlisle (3m, good, 11/2) 33 days ago, left with lot to do. Cheekpieces back on.

Upfordebate (G)
[TP]
Has thrived since going chasing, winning 4 times at up to 3¼m last year. Ran up to best when third of 12 in handicap chase (18/1) at Carlisle (3m, good) 33 days ago and looks a likely player here.
