Jet Plane (G)
[T]
Ended last season with a fine second in the Foxhunters at the National Meeting in April. Resumed winning ways in good style when landing a 6-runner handicap at Leicester (2½m, good to soft) last month and while another personal best will b…

Numitor (G)
Won 3 veterans' events last season, the latest registered over 3m at Ascot during the spring. However, he has two ways of running and has shown his not-so-good side in 3 subsequent starts (pulled up on each occasion), which makes him a ris…

Hurricane Bay (G)
[PT]
Dual hurdles winner who improved over fences when bagging handicap chases at Huntingdon and Fakenham last year. Runner-up in a small-field at Doncaster following a break/wind op in November but the way he capitulated back on Town Moor 3 we…

Can You Call (G)
FAV
[T]
Snapped a losing run stretching back almost 3 years when accounting for 7 rivals in a handicap chase at Cheltenham (20.6f, good) last month. Things rather went his way that day but he did the job well and a 7 lb rise doesn't look excessive.

Minella Trump (G)
Very useful chaser at his best and boasts a fine strike rate over the larger obstacles (9-18). Proved that plenty of ability remains when landing a hunter chase at Carlisle (21f, good) on the second of his 2 starts last season but a good d…
