Electric Eddy (G)
Winning hurdler who showed improved form switched to fences when second at Hereford 4 weeks ago. Entitled to build on that so big shout off similar mark.

Sam Twiston-Davies | N & W Twiston-Davies | 7 | 76.2 kg |

Catchim (G)
Fair maiden chaser who found run of good form coming to a halt at Wetherby 16 days ago, a third run in just 26 days possibly catching up with him.

C J Todd | C & A Pogson | 7 | 76.2 kg |

Touquet (G)
[T1]
Has taken well to fences when kept away from soft ground, headed only close home when third at Lingfield. Tongue strap on 1st time and player.

Zoeman (G)
FAV
Hadn't cut much ice in 3 starts over hurdles in 2023/24 but made an encouraging chasing debut back from a long absence when third at Southwell 38 days ago. Entitled to come on for that so not taken lightly.

Belle Montrose (M)
[PT]
Maiden hurdler who has taken well to larger obstacles, winning 2 of her first 3 starts in this sphere. However, revised mark has been enough to prevent further success at Fakenham/Sedgefield on last 2 outings. Needs to pull out a little mo…

Grain Trade (G)
[T]
Much improved from his chase debut when winning at Market Rasen (19.1f) in October. Would have followed up but for some indifferent jumping at Fontwell but reported to be amiss by his rider at Huntingdon 30 days ago.

Pottersjetamay (G)
[T]
Maiden but picked up where he left off at Fakenham in the summer when again second of 4 at that track in October. Soft ground probably against him at Southwell next time.

Forcetoreckonwith (M)
[T]
Irish point winner. Mixed record over hurdles but left chase debut well behind when second at Sedgefield 4 weeks ago. The 2 she split that day have both backed up the form so she needs considering.

Toby Wynne | O Greenall & J Guerriero | 6 | 70.8 kg |

Ballybay (G)
[H]
Sent off favourite when seventh in a big-field bumper at the 2022 Punchestown Festival (only start for Willie Mullins). Little impact in 3 runs over hurdles for Gary Moore during 2023/24 campaign and similar story following 21 months off a…

Walk The Plank (G)
Poor form at best in qualifying runs and offered little on handicap debut at Southwell.
