Brookie (G)
[T]
Smart novice chaser who tasted success twice in handicaps prior to finishing a fine second in the Grade 1 Maghull at Aintree a year ago. Matched that form first 2 starts this season but disappointing since and this no easy race to bounce b…

Edwardstone (G)
Top-class chaser in his prime who has shown that he's still capable of smart form this season, getting back to winning ways in 4-runner Silviniaco Conti Chase at Kempton in January. Similar form both starts since but repeat of last year's …

Jonbon (G)
[P]
Has remarkably yet to finish out of the top 2 in twenty-eight career starts under Rules, adding a twelfth Grade 1 to his tally at Ascot in February. Made mistakes when second in the Ryanair but sound claims of recording third win in this r…

JPR One (G)
[PT]
Winner of Haldon Gold Cup in 2024 and has worked his way back to that level this season, back on the scoresheet in the Scottish Champion Chase (handicap) at Musselburgh. Ran well for a long way when fourth in Ryanair and way he shaped in t…

Mirabad (G)
[T]
Big improver sent over fences for Dan Skelton, making a winning chase bow at Exeter in December before recording a big career best ridden with more restraint when causing a 50/1 upset in the Maghull Novices' Chase 2 weeks ago. More to do i…

Solness (G)

[PT]
High-class chaser who landed a third Leopardstown Grade 1 success of his career when edging out Marine Nationale over Christmas. Rare poor effort there next time but emerged with enormous credit from the front when neck second of 7 to Grey…

Thistle Ask (G)
[HT]
Massive improver upon joining Dan Skelton this term, winning first 4 starts including the Haldon Gold Cup and Desert Orchid Chase, the latter in highly-impressive fashion. Pitched into Grade 1 company and has 3 lengths to find with Jonbon …
