10/1
Back-to-back winner in 3m veterans' handicap chases last season and arrives on back of creditable third of 7 in Rowland Meyrick at Wetherby (24.2f, soft) 35 days ago. Should give another good account.

6/1
Winner of the Topham at Aintree in 2023. Lost his way over fences subsequently but better signs back hurdling this winter, fifth in 3m Chepstow handicap last month. Got no further than second back over the larger obstacles at Haydock latest, though.

7/2
Dual hurdles scorer who got off the mark in this sphere at Perth (20f) in April and added to that success when taking 5-runner handicap chase over C&D (soft, 5/2) 35 days ago, suited by emphasis on stamina. Just 3 lb higher now and addition of cheekpieces looks a good move.

3/1
Scored 3 times sent chasing for Venetia Williams last term and resumed with a solid fifth in handicap at Sandown (28.7f). May have found race coming too soon when disappointing at Haydock latest and remains of interest.

14/1
Dual winner here (both 20.2f) last term who may have needed outing when seventh of 8 in handicap chase at Leicester (20.1f, soft) on return 33 days ago. Yet to prove himself over this longer trip. however.

15/8
Started last season over fences with a bang, winning at Hereford (25.2f) and Taunton (26.3f). Back on the scoreboard at this course (20.2f, soft) last month and return to this stiffer test of stamina looks sure to suit.

Forecasts

Pedley Wood (15/8), Montgomery (3/1), Ioupy Collonges (7/2), Bill Baxter (6/1), Good Boy Bobby (10/1), Sheldon (14/1)

Verdict

PEDLEY WOOD proved better than ever when scoring over a shorter trip here last month and remains feasibly treated. He can follow up. Montgomery is much better than he showed at Haydock last time and is feared most.
