9/1

Grade 1 winner as a novice. Drew a blank over fences last season but contested Grade 1s on last 3 starts of that campaign. Probably needed the run back hurdling on return but did end up having a hard race. Given a break since and potentially on a nice mark back in a handicap chase.

Age: 10| Weight: 11-11| J: R T Dunne| T: J R Boyle| OR: 145| D

40/1

Class act at his peak but seen only twice last season and offered little (after 14 months off) on his first start since leaving Joe Tizzard in veterans event at Exeter 5 weeks ago.

Form: 225/3P-P

Flegmatik^p,t²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 140| CD

5/2

Snapped a near 2-year losing run when beating subsequent Ultima winner Chianti Classico by 2 lengths here (3m) in January, a third course success. Good fourth in Coral Trophy here (3m) since and another big run expected back down in class/trip.

12/1

Bagged 5 small-field handicaps last term and resumed winning ways at Market Rasen on reappearance in September. Respectable second in mares listed chase on sole run since but on a career-high mark back in a handicap.

Form: 11PP-12

War Lord⁴⁹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-2| J: Tom Cannon| T: J Tizzard| OR: 136

14/1

Useful chaser who made an encouraging return after a patchy 2022/23 campaign when third in Haldon Gold Cup at Exeter. However, below par all 3 starts since (including in cheekpieces latest) and others preferred.

Form: P5-3P39

Outlaw Peter^t⁴¹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-1| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 135| CD

13/8

Enjoyed a productive novice hurdle season, winning 4 times. Won a match race on his chase debut/reappearance at Newton Abbot in September and much improved when placed over C&D/Musselburgh last 2 starts. Excuses for his sole disappointment this term. Sure to win more races over fences.

Form: 19-1P23

Do Your Job^p,t²⁸

Age: 10| Weight: 11-0| J: Lily Pinchin| T: C E Longsdon| OR: 134| D

22/1

Grade 2 winner as a novice. Low-key start to this season but back on the scoresheet at Wetherby (19.4f, heavy) on Boxing Day. Well held on debut for this yard (left Lucinda Russell) at Ascot 4 weeks ago but lack of stamina a plausible excuse trying 3m for the first time.

Form: 5-78918

Lord Baddesley²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 10-11| J: Rex Dingle| T: C Gordon| OR: 131| D

5/1

Won over hurdles/fences at Plumpton last season. Improved when second of 8 over 22.5f at Newbury in December and not disgraced in Coral Trophy here since. This less competitive and shorter trip probably more suitable.

Form: 63-3727

Forecasts

Outlaw Peter (13/8), Flegmatik (5/2), Lord Baddesley (5/1), Our Jet (7/1), Millers Bank (9/1), Found On (12/1), War Lord (14/1), Do Your Job (22/1), Fiddlerontheroof (40/1)

OUTLAW PETER has taken well to fences this season, running a cracker when third in a deep handicap at Musselburgh 6 weeks ago, and shades the vote over course-specialist Flegmatik, who had Tuesday's Ultima Handicap winner Chianti Classico 2 lengths behind when winning here in January. Millers Bank is potentially on a nice mark back in a handicap, though he does have a bit to prove on balance.
