Age: 8| Weight: 12-0| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 139

2/1

Consistent sort who chased home Haiti Couleurs in the National Hunt Chase at last season's Cheltenham Festival. Better than ever when readily bagging the Berkshire National at Ascot before shaping as if still in form in Welsh National. Will find this less competitive.

Form: 225-018

Cadell^b⁵⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 11-11| J: Jack Power⁽⁵⁾| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 136

18/1

Course regular who looked better than ever fitted with this headgear when making all here (23.4f) in November. Did blow hot and cold as a novice, however, so no surprise he ran poorly next time.

Form: P14-P1P

Transmission^v1⁴³

Age: 9| Weight: 11-4| J: C O'Farrell| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 129

9/2

Took well to fences last term, successful at Cheltenham and also a good fifth in National Hunt Chase at the Festival in March. Yet to fire this season but this represents a notable drop in class and a change of headgear may help his cause.

Form: 265-088

Grozni^v,t⁵⁶

Age: 10| Weight: 11-3| J: B S Hughes| T: A M Thomson| OR: 128

6/1

Solid efforts over fences last season when sixth in Kim Muir at Cheltenham and fourth in Scottish National. Came good on third start for this yard when winning Borders National at Kelso 8 weeks ago and warrants respect.

Form: 564-561

Bodhisattva^p⁵⁶

Age: 9| Weight: 10-7| J: Alex Harvey⁽³⁾| T: J C McConnell| OR: 118

8/1

On a losing run and hasn't shown much since finishing second in this last year.

Form: 2U76P-7

Forged Well^v⁴¹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-6| J: Charlie Maggs⁽⁵⁾| T: M Todhunter| OR: 117| C

7/2

Dual hurdles winner who was in the process of leaving a disappointing chase debut behind when falling at the last at Ayr but made amends when scoring in decisive fashion here (23.6f) 6 weeks ago. 7 lb higher in better race now, though, and has stamina to prove.

Form: F93-6F1

Inis Oirr^p¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 10-2| J: D R Fox| T: L Russell & M Scudamore| OR: 111| CD

10/1

Wide-margin winner of this race in 2024 but generally best treated with caution these days (often looks disinterested).

Forecasts

Rock My Way (2/1), Forged Well (7/2), Transmission (9/2), Grozni (6/1), Magna Sam (7/1), Bodhisattva (8/1), Inis Oirr (10/1), Cadell (18/1)

ROCK MY WAY shaped as if still in good form in the Welsh National at Chepstow and can quickly resume winning ways back in calmer waters. Grozni was back to his best when scoring at Kelso and was fourth in last season's Scottish National off a similar mark. Magna Sam is bidding for a third win in this race and this has likely been the target again.
