Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Harry Atkins⁽⁷⁾| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 137| C

9/2

Took well to fences last season, successful at Cheltenham and a good fifth in National Hunt Chase at the Festival. Slow start this time around but back to form with a bang when winning Edinburgh National at Musselburgh in February. Remains unexposed at marathon trips and can go well again.

Form: 65-0881

Age: 7| Weight: 11-9| J: Jay Tidball⁽⁵⁾| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 132| BF

12/1

Useful hurdler who took well to fences with a 3m Exeter handicap success a year ago. Back to form when second (no match for improved winner) at Wincanton but ran poorly in a change of headgear last time. Cheekpieces back on.

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 130

9/1

Better than ever sporting a first-time tongue strap when easily winning Somerset National at Wincanton in January and quickly back to form when landing a gamble at Exeter 2 weeks ago, relishing the extreme distance. This tougher but must be respected.

Tommie Beau^p1⁷²

Age: 11| Weight: 11-2| J: Paul O'Brien| T: J W Mullins| OR: 125| C| D

10/1

Veteran who was second in this race in 2024 but has shown signs of decline this season and easy enough to look elsewhere. Cheekpieces tried.

Havaila¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-2| J: Caoilin Quinn| T: G & J Moore| OR: 125| C

7/2

Exuberant type who has continued on the upgrade this season, resuming winning ways at Newbury 16 days ago, impressing with how he completed the task. Player.

Form: 122-361

Stans The Man^b,t³²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-0| J: Ben Godfrey| T: Ella Pickard| OR: 123

14/1

Form has a rather patchy look to it but benefited from a 3-month break to win at Wincanton last month, looking as good as ever. Can make presence felt if turning up in similar form.

Form: 874361

Planned Paradise¹²

Age: 10| Weight: 10-8| J: Jack Tudor| T: Christian Williams| OR: 117

10/1

Capitalised on a reduced mark at Bangor and followed up in facile fashion at Hexham 12 days ago. Still handily weighted so well worth considering in this groove.

Form: 543611

Unanswered Prayers^p²⁹

Age: 10| Weight: 10-8| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon| OR: 117| C| D

11/1

On a losing run and not much encouragement of late to suggest he's about to end that (seems to be going through the motions a little).

Form: 6-55563

Sea Invasion^b,t⁵¹

Age: 8| Weight: 10-6| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: A J Honeyball| OR: 115| C

4/1

Back-to-back winner in small-field events here last spring and better for return when third at Kempton. Not disgraced back over hurdles since and has shaped as if he'll stay this far.

Form: 21-1638

Enjoy D'allen¹⁸

Age: 12| Weight: 10-6| J: Miss Lily Jones⁽⁷⁾| T: N B King| OR: 115| C

18/1

Front runner who bagged third victory of season in 4-runner handicap here in February. Good second of 3 at Sedgefield since but seems best suited to small fields nowadays.

Havaila (7/2), Sea Invasion (4/1), Transmission (9/2), Rivers Corner (9/1), Tommie Beau (10/1), Planned Paradise (10/1), Invincible Nao (10/1), Unanswered Prayers (11/1), Largy Poet (12/1), Stans The Man (14/1), Enjoy D'allen (18/1)

TRANSMISSION looked rejuvenated in a change of headgear and return to a marathon trip when winning the Edinburgh National at Musselburgh 9 weeks ago and can follow up with Harry Atkins help off-setting an 8 lb rise. The thriving Planned Paradise and progressive Havaila head the dangers.
