Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: Mark Walsh| T: T M Walsh| OR: 157| D

6/1

Smashing third without any sort of luck-in-running in the Grand National in April. Confined to just 2 hurdle starts so far this campaign and this should set him up for another tilt at Aintree.

Form: 9P13-96

Coko Beach^b¹³

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Jack Kennedy| T: G Elliott| OR: 146| D

17/2

Smart chaser. Creditable fourth of 13 in handicap chase (17/2) at Punchestown (28.2f, heavy) 13 days ago, his stamina stretched late on. Has work to do on these terms if he's to figure.

Form: 7-46P64

Burrows Saint^t⁵⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Paul Townend| T: W P Mullins| OR: 156| C

6/5

2019 Irish National winner who ran a stormer in the Grand National in April, faltering only late on. Better for hurdles return when second behind Al Boum Photo in Savills Chase and sound claims here.

Form: 2624-32

Escaria Ten^b1³⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-0| J: Jordan Gainford| T: G Elliott| OR: 151| D

13/8

Very smart chaser. 9/1, shaped better than bare result when eighth in Thyestes Chase on return last month, finishing tired. Entitled to come forward from that and he remains one to be positive about.

Form: 5123P-8

Forecasts

Burrows Saint (6/5), Escaria Ten (13/8), Any Second Now (6/1), Coko Beach (17/2)

A sound fourth in last year's Grand National, BURROWS SAINT stepped forward from his hurdles return when runner-up to Al Boum Photo at Tramore on New Year's Day and he could be the way to go ahead of a return to Aintree in April. Escaria Ten may pose the chief threat, ahead of Any Second Now.
