5/2
Winner of a Kelso hunter and showed much improved form on second start for Ruth Jefferson when landing 11-runner handicap chase at Sedgefield in January. Heavy defeat next time but back on his game when second at Wetherby (3m) and this marathon trip should be within range for another new yard.

5/4
Successful 3 times over fences in 2025 and ridden to preserve stamina, he got 31f well when runner-up at Chepstow 3 weeks ago, taking second late on. Repeat will see him bang there.

7/2
All 3 career victories over 3m at Southwell. After 5 months off, looked rusty when fifth of 7 in handicap at the same C&D in February and while he went with much more zest at Hereford a month later, his jumping failed the test, unseating rider late on.

Landed a double at Newton Abbot over 3¼m in August. Looked hard work without the headgear when second of 3 at Plumpton when last seen in October but he resumes back on his correct mark.

Forecasts

Esperti (5/4), Slaney Opera (5/2), Prince Cleni (7/2), Blackacre (5/1)

Verdict

SLANEY OPERA remains pretty low mileage as a stayer under Rules and having joined an up-and-coming stable, he looks the answer. A repeat of Esperti's latest second at Chepstow will likely ensure that he's the chief threat.

  1. Slaney Opera5/2
