Out-and-out stayer but winless since 2022 and hard to catch right, though latest second at Haydock was one of his better efforts. Capable of having a say.

Tommy Whittle winner for Alan King and looked as good as ever when making a winning return for new yard at Haydock just after Christmas, going with a good deal more zest than he has for a while. Needs considering after that.

Age: 8|  Weight: 11-6| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| OR:  127
Better than ever sporting a first-time tongue stap when easily winning Somerset National at Wincanton in January. However, that race rather fell apart and he struggled off his revised mark at Haydock since.

Suited by an increased test of stamina when making all in the 3½m Southern National at Fontwell on return. Acquitted himself well when fourth in the Welsh National next time but showed he's still prone to the odd stinker in the Eider at Newcastle since. Type to bounce back.

Not the force of old and while he posted his best effort for a while when third in 16-runner cross-country event at Cheltenham last time, it's likely that he comes up short in this.

Useful at best for Willie Mullins. Missed whole of 2025 but shaped as though a fair amount of ability remains both starts for new yard in recent months. This run should reveal more.

Sporting Ace31
Age: 10|  Weight: 10-8| J: J M Quinlan| T: N B King| OR:  115
Capitalised on a career-low mark at Huntingdon last month, suited by emphasis on stamina. However, consistency has never been his strong suit and this is much tougher.

Forecasts

Egbert (3/1), Iron Bridge (7/2), Livin On Luco (9/2), Escaria Ten (6/1), Sporting Ace (6/1), Rivers Corner (6/1), Chavez (14/1)

Verdict

LIVIN ON LUCO is prone to the odd stinker but a reproduction of his Welsh National effort would make him the one to beat. Egbert looked rejuvenated for his new yard when making a winning return at Haydock and is the obvious threat, with Iron Bridge best of the others.
