Crystal Glory⁴⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-4| J: Sean Quinlan| T: N G Richards| OR: 138

4/11

Useful novice hurdler last season (fourth in Aintree Grade 1 final start) and made an impressive winning start to his chase career at Hexham (3m, heavy) last month, jumping like an old hand. Definitely more to come.

Form: 11224-1

Iron Bridge²⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 11-3| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 137

85/40

Bumper/dual hurdle winner who took his record to 4-4 when readily winning a warm Carlisle novice handicap on his chase debut in October. Lost his unbeaten record with a bit of a whimper at Chepstow 4 weeks ago but well worth another chance back on soft ground.

Form: 1/11-15

Forecasts

Crystal Glory (4/11), Iron Bridge (85/40), Gold Cup Bailly (9/4)

A small field but a very interesting race featuring 3 promising chasers. IRON BRIDGE clearly wasn't quite himself at Chepstow but his winning chase debut form is very strong so he's given another chance.
