4/1
Scored twice over fences at Hereford before Christmas and bounced back from a couple of poor efforts when (cheekpieces on) third of 8 to The Boola Boss at Chepstow (3m) 24 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Headgear retained.

9/1
A 4-time C&D winner but he saw his run of good form come to a halt when pulled up in handicap chase at Kelso (4m) in December. Needs to bounce back after a break.

Resumed winning ways in 8-runner handicap chase at Chepstow (3m) 24 days ago. Tongue strap goes back on. Up 5lb but still weighted to go well again.

In good form last summer, scoring at Perth, but he has struggled for form since November. Others appeal more.

Arrives out of sorts, only seventh of 11 in handicap chase at Newbury (2¾m) 46 days ago. Not easy to make a case for despite a plummeting mark.

Better than ever after a 3-month break with victory in 5-runner handicap chase at Southwell (3¼m) 42 days ago. Merits consideration despite 4 lb weights rise.

Course winner but he's an unreliable type and was pulled up in handicap chase at Hexham (4m) 41 days ago. Back down in trip here with tongue strap refitted.

16/1
Not won since 2023 and his form in Ireland was patchy at best. Looked rusty after 6 months off for his new yard when a well-held fifth of 7 in handicap chase at Ludlow (3m) 13 days ago.

Scored over hurdles here last June but pulled up back chasing in handicap at Ludlow (3¼m) 180 days ago. Hard to warm to.

Forecasts

The Boola Boss (5/2), Hell Hound (3/1), Copshill Lad (10/3), Buckna (4/1), Imperial Alex (9/2), Fairlawn Flyer (9/1), Arrycan (16/1), Galop De Chasse (18/1), Karuma Grey (18/1), Balkardy (28/1)

Verdict

Neil Mulholland's HELL HOUND is much less exposed than these and taken to defy a 6 lb rise for his stylish Southwell success last month on just his second run over fences. The Boola Boss and Copshill Lad also arrive on the back of last-time-out victories at Chepstow and Southwell respectively and are the main threats in that order.
