9/1
Dual scorer (at up to 24.2f) earlier this term and back to that sort of form when creditable third of 13 in handicap chase at this course (24.2f, heavy, 12/1) 37 days ago. Effective at this shorter trip and ought to go well again.

5/2
Winning pointer who has developed into a better chaser than hurdler, confirming promise of his Taunton second in December when pulling clear with an unexposed sort to score at Doncaster (20.5f, soft) last time. 4 lb rise fair and holds solid claims.

8/1
Twice a winner in 2021/22 but couldn't add to his tally last season, never really going after a bad mistake at the second in the Topham at Aintree when last seen 11 months ago. Likely he will need this outing.

7/1
Not matched useful form of a 2021/22 season back from lengthy absence this term but posted respectable second of 10 in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (24.4f, heavy) last time and has been cut plenty of slack by the assessor.

5/2
Gradually worked his way back to form this season and took advantage of a drop in the weights in 4-runner event over C&D in December. Posted solid third at Taunton (23f) since and must enter calculations.

11/2
Relatively low-mileage 11-year old who has run with credit all 3 starts this season, latest when second of 5 in handicap chase (11/8) at Doncaster (24f, soft) 16 days ago. Another bold bid is on the cards.

Hit the target 3 times last term but hasn't put his best foot forward in a trio of starts so far this season. Now 4 lb below last winning mark but looks vulnerable all the same.

Forecasts

Stormy Flight (5/2), Raffle Ticket (5/2), Iconic Muddle (11/2), Come On Teddy (7/1), Numitor (8/1), Good Boy Bobby (9/1), Midnight Midge (14/1)

Verdict

This can go to RAFFLE TICKET, who has relatively few miles on the clock for his age and ran right up to his best when scoring at Doncaster last time. Iconic Muddle and Good Boy Bobby are also of interest.
