16/1
A fairly useful winning chaser but he's been off for 10 months since a below-form sixth of 13 in handicap chase here (20f, good). Needs to hit the ground running.

Scored at Ffos Las in November but in and out since, only third of 4 in handicap chase at Haydock (25.6f, good) 17 days ago. Others are more persuasive.

11/10
Irish point/bumper winner who made a successful hurdle debut over 3m at Southwell in October. Back to that form of late, second of 14 in 3m Newbury handicap in March. Much respected now going chasing.

9/2
Resumed winning ways at Market Rasen in November but pulled up in handicap chases at Wetherby and Uttoxeter on his last two runs. Handily weighted if bouncing back with a visor replacing cheekpieces.

4/1
Failed to build on earlier promise when only sixth of 8 in handicap chase at Taunton (23f, good to soft) 77 days ago. Since undergone breathing surgery so not ruled out with a visor also added.

A fair 2m Flat winner but only twice raced over fences and beat only one in 3m2f Fontwell handicap chase in August. Has something to prove after 7 months off.

Took this in 2023 and arrives on the back of a resurgent success in 6-runner handicap chase at Stratford (27.5f, good) 23 days ago. Merits serious consideration.

A fairly useful handicap chaser at his best but has lost his form. It's easy to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Holokea (11/10), Gold Link (4/1), Montregard (9/2), Pottlerath (17/2), Masterdream (12/1), No No Maestro (16/1), Impatient (28/1), Tide Times (50/1)

Verdict

Most of these arrive with a question mark against them so this 2023 victor POTTLERATH looks the way to go on the back of a resurgent Stratford success last month. Holokea arrives in very good nick over hurdles so could emerge as the chief danger now sent over fences. Both Gold Link and Montregard could also have a say if back on their A-games.
