6/1
Made his first start since leaving Paul Nicholls a winning one in novice handicap at Ascot (18.8f) in November 2023 and ran respectably after 7 months off when sixth of 9 in handicap chase at Newbury (19.8f, good to soft) just over 6 weeks ago. Entitled to sharpen up for that.

18/1
Useful hurdler/chaser for Willie Mullins, well served by front-running tactics when landing 6-runner Killarney maiden chase (23f, soft) in August 2023. Friendless in the market and made a low-key return from 15 months off back over hurdles at Newbury 6 weeks ago so others more appealing.

Hexham blip in October aside, he's won all other 6 starts this term, taking his form to a whole new level for latest of them at Kelso (17.1f, good to soft) just under a fortnight ago. Handicapper has reacted with a 10 lb rise, but he could have even more to offer.

4/1
Successful twice in 2023/24. Good fifth in Red Rum at Aintree final start but is struggling to recapture his best form this term, fourth of 6 at Cheltenham (16.3f, good to soft) 4 weeks ago. Handicapper relinquishes his grip further and he's not discounted.

Better than ever sent chasing last season, making all in novice handicap at Taunton 12 months ago. Found to have sustained a leg wound on reappearance and doubled his tally in emphatic fashion over fences in 5-runner handicap at Ludlow (16f, soft) in November. 7 lb rise to contend with.

40/1
Headstrong sort who was well served by fitting of a hood when off the mark over fences for Lucinda Russell at Ayr (16.5f) in March. However, below best at Cartmel in May and having undergone wind surgery/fitted with tongue tie ahead of stable debut, he also showed little at Southwell.

Flat winner who won 3 times over hurdles for Dr Richard Newland, leaving that stable after taking a Wetherby seller last March. Satisfactory start for this yard when fourth of 10 at Kempton in May and showed aptitude for chasing after 8 months off when third at this track recently.

7/2
Built on promising Warwick chase debut when readily taking 6-runner handicap at Ludlow and followed up under a penalty with the minimum of fuss at Taunton (18.2f, good) last month. Assessor has reacted with 9 lb rise but that may not be enough.

Forecasts

Keep Running (10/3), Ostrava Du Berlais (7/2), Triple Trade (4/1), Art Of Diplomacy (5/1), Sir Psycho (6/1), Beat Box (8/1), Hubrisko (18/1), Salamanca Bay (40/1)

Verdict

Beat Box will undoubtedly be popular given the roll he's on this season, but he may have to play second fiddle to OSTRAVA DU BERLAIS, who arrives on a hat-trick following a couple of wide-margin wins and Venetia Williams' progressive chaser looks one to keep firmly on the right side of. Keep Running, another commanding last-time-out winner, can get the better of Triple Trade for minor honours.
