4/1
Three-time winner over hurdles, promising start in this sphere when runner-up over C&D last time and gets champion jockey for company now.

Hurdles winner, good start in this sphere when runner-up behind Deauville Crystal over longer trip here. Winner has scored again since and needs considering for this prize.

40/1
Modest hurdler, has been running up to form in that sphere lately but likely is going to have to improve to make a winning start in this discipline.

Horse silk
Mister Mister234
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-12| J: Shane Quinlan(7)| T: D L Williams| OR:  110| C
100/1
Maiden hurdle winner here (2m7f) in September but failed to build on that in two further outings over timber and returns from absence for chasing debut with aspirations perhaps low.
6
Horse silk
200/1
Just the one outing under rules to date, making no impact in a bumper at Chepstow in October. Pulled up in a couple of maiden point-to-points more recently.

Winner Massagot436
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-12| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR:  125WS
10/1
Flattered to deceive in first start over fences, best of them coming over 2m3f at Doncaster in January 2017. Returns from 14 months off, has undergone wind surgery in the interim. Market check needed.

Forecasts

Monbeg Legend (11/10), Jaleo (5/2), Gustave Mahler (4/1), Winner Massagot (10/1), Londonia (40/1), Mister Mister (100/1), One More Bid (200/1)

Verdict

Monbeg Legend will be popular having won on his chase bow at Ludlow last time but Nicky Henderson's charge is no sure-thing conceding weight all round now. GUSTAVE MAHLER was second over C&D on his chasing bow and should have learned from that effort, while he also the benefit of Richard Johnson's assistance to call on now. The form of Jaleo's runner-up finish over fences here last month has been boosted and he should mount a challenge if handling the quicker ground.
  1. Gustave Mahler
