Tax For Max (G)
Useful hurdler/chaser for Willie Mullins. However, yet to reach that level for current yard and ran no sort of race at Haydock 6 weeks ago. Bit to prove back chasing.

Yes Day (G)
Scored readily over fences at Hereford and Exeter in the spring. Pulled up next 2 starts but running well (closing on leaders) when falling heavily 4 out on return from a break at Ludlow. Not in same form at Wetherby next time, however.

Mister Cessna (G)
[T]
Dual winner over hurdles who has taken well to chasing on these shores, winning at Uttoxeter on return second only to an improver at Warwick. Remains with potential.

Shantou Lucky (G)
[BT]
Five wins since joining the prolific James Owen yard at the end of the summer. Back on track when just denied at Fakenham 11 days ago so not taken lightly.

Toothless (G)
[PT]
Showed much improved form when an impressive winner at Plumpton in May of last year, jumping boldly and quickening clear of a subsequent winner. Well treated on that form and shaped as if better for the run after 19 months off at Wincanton…

Kalif D'airy (G)
FAV
[B1T]
Consistent over hurdles last season and found improvement to get off the mark on reappearance/chase debut at Lingfield in November. Not in quite the same form when fourth of 7 at WIncanton (2½m, soft) since. Change of headgear.

Caoilin Quinn | G & J Moore | 6 | 71.2 kg |

Joe Cotton (G)
[V]
Isn't the most straightforward but arrives in good heart, responding better than is sometimes the case but never getting to the first 2 when third at Wincanton 4 weeks ago.
