| 5th | 1 | — |
Sayva (G)
A fairly useful 2m4f hurdles winner but he failed to build on his chasing debut fourth at Kempton (18f) when beating just one in 2m4f Wincanton handicap chase 48 days ago. Needs to take a step forward.

Scorsese (G)
FAV
[P]
A fair 2m4f hurdles scorer who has bettered his form in this sphere, second of 7 in handicap chase at Wincanton (20.2f, soft) 22 days ago. Very much one to consider.

Harry Atkins | N P Mulholland | 7 | 76.2 kg |

| 4th | 3 | — |
Double Digits (G)
Irish point scorer who also bagged a pair of novice hurdles (around 2m) at Carlisle and Kelso in April. Went off too hard when seventh of 13 in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (17.2f, soft) last month and needs considering now going chasing.

Sean Quinlan | Mrs A Hamilton | 7 | 74.8 kg |

7/1

| 7th | 4 | — |
Lady Jago (M)
Bagged three chase wins for Dan Skelton in the spring but yet to fire in a trio of runs for her current yard, back chasing when only 13th at Cheltenham (20.6f, good) 13 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward.

Jermyn Raffles (G)
[H1T1]
A fairly useful ex-French hurdler/chaser who won 2m4f handicap chase at Durtal last month for D. Sourdeau de Beauregard. Since changed hands for €13,000 and much respected for his new yard.

Shane Fenelon | M Bowen | 6 | 73 kg |

| 6th | 6 | — |
Ailt An Chorrain (G)
[T]
A fair 2m4f winner over hurdles but he came in only eighth of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (20.1f, good to soft) on his debut over fences 15 days ago. Not written off yet.

Jack Power | P Neville | 6 | 73 kg |

Raffles Wonder (G)
[HT]
Course winner who shaped as if better for the run after 8 months off when sixth of 10 in handicap chase at Hexham (15.6f, good to soft) 49 days ago. Up in trip. Can take a step forward here.

Nathan Moscrop | R Menzies | 8 | 72.6 kg |

| 2nd | 8 | — |
Tom Creen (G)
[T]
A 4-time C&D winner, including in this 12 months ago. Looked rusty after 7 months off when seventh of 9 in handicap chase at Haydock (19.9f, good) 23 days ago. Back on his last winning mark now for his in-form yard so he's a likely player.…

Tom Midgley | S England | 10 | 71.2 kg |

Fortunate Fella (G)
Signed off for Paul Nicholls with 2m4f success at Fontwell in May. Changed hands for £40,000 but raced too freely when a below-form third of 7 in handicap chase at Hexham (20.1f, good) following month. Not ruled out after a break.
