6/4
Resumed winning ways in 3-runner handicap at Newcastle (16.3f, good) last month. Followed that with a creditable third off this 2 lb higher mark at Wetherby and looks sure to be involved in the finish here.

10/1
Narrow winner of a Uttoxeter handicap chase on second of his 3 runs for Dan Skelton but has failed to fire both starts for new connections. Hopes pinned on first-time cheekpieces sparking a return to form.

7/2
Fairly useful maiden on the Flat and runner-up 4 times over hurdles for Paul Nicholls. Didn't shape badly on chase debut at Newcastle and, though he failed to build on that next time, he'll be a threat now upped in trip granted a clear round (early faller at Catterick on latest start).

7/2
Fair 2m winner over hurdles but only modest form at best in this sphere to date and opposable back from a break on debut for new yard.

9/2
Dual hurdles winner for Iain Jardine in summer 2023 and belatedly opened chase account at Newcastle (2½m, good) where she was given a sound tactical ride by Pippa Brown (aboard again here). This looks more demanding under a penalty but she should nevertheless make her presence felt.

Forecasts

Hold Onto The Line (6/4), Beny Nahar Road (7/2), Couldbeaweapon (7/2), Pure Surf (9/2), Flash In The Park (10/1)

Verdict

The in-form HOLD ONTO THE LINE has fewer questions to answer than his rivals and he looks the most solid option. That said, Beny Nahar Road promises to be suited by this step up in trip and will be a threat if his jumping passes the test. Pure Surf got the job done at Newcastle recently but she has more on her plate with a penalty to carry here.
