Keep Runningt29
Age: 8|  Weight: 12-0| J: James Bowen| T: W Greatrex| OR:  140| CD
Front-runner who was better than ever when a wide-margin winner over C&D last month but the handicapper hasn't missed him with an 11 lb rise so he'll need another career best to follow up.

Age: 7|  Weight: 11-8| J: Ben Jones| T: B Pauling| OR:  134
Irish point winner who made it third time lucky over fences when a 7-length winner of 17f Ascot novice handicap last month. An 8 lb rise looks manageable with further progress possible.

Gabriel's Getawayt7
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-6| J: Rex Dingle| T: A J Honeyball| OR:  132
Ended last term on a downer but has resumed in the good order this season, finishing runner-up in handicaps at Kempton and Ascot. Another fine effort when fourth in valuable race at latter course (17f, soft) in November. Unseated first at Kempton over Christmas. Also declared 12.27 Wincanton.

C&D scorer and won Ascot handicap chase off 1 lb lower in December 2024. Better effort this season when fifth of 8 back at Ascot last time, although his jumping was a bit mixed. Blinkered first time.

Siam Parkt47
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-4| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| OR:  116
Has finished out of the first 2 just once from 6 attempts over fences, gaining a third success when seeing off 4 rivals at Plumpton (2m, good) in November. 7 lb higher but could easily have more to offer.

Forecasts

Vanderpoel (2/1), Keep Running (9/4), Siam Park (3/1), Gabriel's Getaway (13/2), Kotmask (10/1)

Verdict

Progressive 7-y-os VANDERPOEL and Siam Park may come to the fore in this useful handicap, with narrow preference for the former on the back of his comfortable Ascot success.
