Magical King (G)
[P]
Fairly useful and consistent hurdler at up to 3m. Placed in a point at the start of his career and showed aptitude for chasing whilst shaping as if better for the run after 9 months off at Bangor last month. Should improve.

Moroder (G)
[P]
Big-priced winner of Grimthorpe Chase here in 2023 and 2025. First past the post (subsequently disqualified after losing weight cloth) in veterans event at Cartmel in May (29.4f). Run poorly all 3 starts since but not taken lightly given h…

Fierce Warrior (G)
FAV
Dual winner over hurdles who has improved switched to fences this season, off the mark at the second attempt here (26f) last month, having more in hand than margin suggests. Has to be taken seriously.

Some Scope (G)
[TV1]
Enjoyed finest hour so far when landing the Rowland Meyrick at Wetherby on Boxing Day last season. Just the one decent effort since, however, and was below par back at Wetherby 23 days ago. Change of headgear.

Ki Woo (G)
[T]
Won Bangor maiden/novice hurdles over 19.5f and 23f in the spring. Struggled off inflated marks switched to handicaps since, however, including on chase bow/return.

Fortescue (G)
[P]
Winless for almost 4 years and ran a somewhat typical race when a labouring third at Ludlow on return. Others preferred for win purposes.

Ladronne (G)
[T]
C&D scorer who readily resumed winning ways at Sedgefield last month. Not disgraced when second over this C&D since and should be competitive once again.
