Belvedere Blast (G)
Benefited from the stiffer test of stamina when resuming winning ways at Market Rasen (23f, good) in August but below form all 4 outings since.

Tree Top Tyson (G)
[T]
Showed his Perth display to be no flash in the pan as he got off the mark in 3-runner maiden hurdle at Sedgefield (16.8f, good) in October. Sound-enough effort under a penalty at Wetherby and now goes handicapping.

B S Hughes | P Neville | 5 | 76.7 kg |

Hajey (G)
Below par in 3 starts last season but stepped up plenty on his reappearance when fourth at Sedgefield a month ago. Well weighted if building on that.

Escort'kheops (G)
Made the frame all 3 completed starts in Irish points and still looked in need of the experience on second start in a bumper when seventh of 11 at Cheltenham in October. Pleasing start over hurdles in recent weeks and now makes quick switc…

Soldierofthestorm (G)
FAV
Hereford winner in February 2024 but lightly raced and patchy form since. Off since mid-field effort at Punchestown in April but this is easier and record fresh is encouraging.

| 11th | 6 | — |
Gardener (G)
Disappointing 2024/25 campaign and has left Olly Murphy having unseated rider on last month's return to chasing.

Aaron Anderson | M E Sowersby | 9 | 74.8 kg |

Book of Secrets (G)
[H]
Just the one win from 18 starts over hurdles, but has a number of solid placed efforts to his name, including when going close at Newton Abbot (16.8f, soft) in September. Too free without the hood at Carlisle and that aid is back on.

Non Runner | James Moffatt | 7 | 74.8 kg |

| 12th | 8 | — |
Camarrate (G)
[T]
Fit from the Flat and returned to form when second of 6 at Wetherby in October. Same mark here so a repeat of that will ensure he's competitive.

Theo Gillard | D McCain Jnr | 5 | 74.4 kg |

| 4th | 9 | — |
Singapore Trip (G)
[T]
Capitalised on a falling mark at Wetherby on return and a brace of third-place finishes confirm he's in excellent heart. No reasn why he won't go well again.

Alice Stevens | Micky Hammond | 7 | 73.5 kg |

The Clonmel Kid (G)
Fair maiden hurdler but no impact both handicap starts at up to 3m.

| 9th | 11 | — |
Caramelo Rapido (G)
Made steady progress over hurdles last season finishing a close second over 17f at Carlisle on handicap debut but found quick turnaround against him when disappointing at Perth. Not for the first time, his jumping lacked fluency on return.

Jamie Hamilton | M Walford | 6 | 72.6 kg |

| 2nd | 12 | — |
Wasthatok (G)
[T]
Back on track when second at Wetherby and confirmed that promise with a ready success at Newcastle (20.3f, good to soft) last month. Didn't get very far over fences next time but remains of firm interest back over hurdles.

I J Power | P A Kirby | 7 | 72.6 kg |

Evenwood Sonofagun (G)
[TP]
Landed a quick-fire double at Cartmel in May but hit and miss since, in the process of running below form when falling at Perth in September and never a factor over this trip at Musselburgh.

Sean Quinlan | Lizzie Quinlan | 7 | 72.1 kg |

Born Like Me (G)
Well held in 2 AW Flat outings and needs to leave level achieved in his qualifying runs behind to get competitive on handicap debut up in distance.

Jack Power | J Parkinson & S Smith | 4 | 70.8 kg |

| 6th | 15 | — |
Scairp Dubh (G)
Won point bumper in March and second in bumper here (sole start for Tjade Collier) in May. Little show over hurdles so far but handicaps more suitable.

Danny McMenamin | J Parkinson & S Smith | 5 | 68.9 kg |
