Fidux^p³⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-11| J: Tom Cannon| T: A King| OR: 125

6/1

It's now 14 runs since his last win in 2021 and tried in cheekpieces when last of 5 in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (26.1f, good) 37 days ago. Others appeal more.

Court Master^p³⁷

Age: 10| Weight: 11-10| J: R P McLernon| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 124| D

5/2

One-time useful chaser for Michael Scudamore. Not discredited back chasing for his new yard when second of 5 in handicap at Uttoxeter (26.1f, good) 37 days ago. Can go well again here with that form having been franked.

Form: 8/PP-232

Dieu Vivant^p,t¹⁴⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 11-8| J: Toby Wynne⁽⁵⁾| T: O Greenall & J Guerriero| OR: 122| D

14/1

In good form without winning until only tenth of 27 in hunter chase at Aintree (21.1f, good) 145 days ago. Sort to bounce back off a lenient mark.

Form: 747220-

Quid Pro Quo³⁷

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 122

5/6

Opened his account over fences at Southwell (2m4f) in April and has improved on that form since, latest when third of six in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (2m4f) 37 days ago. Player.

Form: P31-223

The Vollan^v¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-3| J: Adam Wedge| T: L Morgan| OR: 117| D

50/1

Registered fourth victory of 2022 in a 4-runner Kelso handicap in October. Ended the year out of sorts, though, and pulled up in handicap chase at Worcester (23f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Hard to make a case for.

Form: 1777P-P

Ultimate Getaway^t⁴⁶⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Jack Hogan⁽³⁾| T: F O'Brien| OR: 116| D

14/1

Scored at Ludlow in May 2022 but he returns from 15 months off now. Has his fitness to prove on his comeback.

Form: 213P/12-

QUID PRO QUO arrives at the top of his game so is fancied to get back to winning ways at the chief expense of Court Master who took a big step back in the right direction when runner-up at Uttoxeter last time out. Dieu Vivant figures on an attractive mark if back on his A-game and needs considering too.
