Jour D'Evasion (G)
FAV
[T]
Fairly useful hurdler who has made an encouraging start to his chase career, winning 17f Bangor handicap (heavy) 28 days ago by 4¼ lengths from reopposing Passing Kate. Should progress again.

Sam Twiston-Davies | H D Daly | 6 | 77.1 kg |

Storminhome (G)
Absent since finishing a close third in 21f Wetherby handicap chase in October 2024, his only start for the Dan Skelton yard. Returns off 3 lb lower and he'd firmly enter the reckoning should the betting suggest he's fancied.

Kielan Woods | D Skelton | 8 | 75.7 kg |

Siam Park (G)
[T]
Has finished out of the first 2 just once from 6 attempts over fences, gaining a third success when seeing off 4 rivals at Plumpton (2m, good) last month. 7 lb higher but could easily have more to offer.

Brendan Powell | J Tizzard | 6 | 74.4 kg |
3.50
5/2

Ballybreeze (G)
Capitalised on a reduced mark at Newbury in March and showed a good attitude to follow up over this C&D the following month. Probably needed last month's reappearance at Cheltenham and should be spot on now.
|
S Bowen | S Drinkwater | 9 | 73.9 kg |

| 3rd | 5 | — |
Heads Or Harps (G)
Won 2m Ayr handicap in March. Disappointing favourite on reappearance but bounced straight back when second at Ayr (2m, heavy) 26 days ago.

D R Fox | L Russell & M Scudamore | 8 | 72.6 kg |

Passing Kate (M)
Course chase winner last season. Returned with good runner-up efforts at Uttoxeter and Bangor last month, chasing home Jour d'Evasion at the latter. No reason why she won't give her running again.
|
Ned Fox | M Sheppard | 8 | 70.8 kg |
3.75
11/4

| 4th | 7 | — |
Ideallko (G)
Three wins (1 hurdle, 2 chase) last season. Remote fourth on C&D reappearance 11 weeks ago but capable of making more of an impact now.

Isabel Williams | Evan Williams | 7 | 65.8 kg |
