4/1
Landed a hunter chase at Hereford last May but below par since for Neil Mulholland and pulled up back hurdling at Worcester in September. Needs to hit the ground running for his new handler.

20/1
A fair maiden chaser under Rules but he comes here on the back of two pointing wins in 2025 so must enter calculations.

9/4
Very useful chaser at his best and probably needed the outing after 12 months off when fourth in Bangor hunter 30 days ago. Holds good claims if, as expected, he can build on that.

Fair maiden hurdler for Harry Fry earlier in his career. Dual point winner under Lucy Brown in spring 2022 but has failed to complete after a long absence at Cartmel and Musselburgh since.

6/5
One-time top-class chaser but not seen under Rules for 16 months. Since scored in points but refused in that sphere four weeks ago. Has rejoined his former yard and a big player if back on song.

A fair hurdler/chaser at his best but he was pulled up in hunter chase at Wetherby (24.2f, soft) 36 days ago. Needs to bounce back.

Forecasts

Saint Calvados (6/5), Minella Trump (9/4), Fix At All (4/1), Socks Off (17/2), Diable De Sivola (20/1), Rufio (100/1)

Verdict

Donald McCain's veteran MINELLA TRUMP should be all the better for his recent Bangor fourth after an absence so gets the nod ahead of recent point scorer Diable de Sivola. Saint Calvados would be a major player if on song but refused in a point recently which tempers enthusiasm.

  1. Minella Trump9/4
  2. Diable De Sivola20/1
  3. Saint Calvados6/5
