Angels Breath (6/4), Shearer (11/4), Acey Milan (10/3), Caldwell Diamond (11/1), Chilinlikeavillain (14/1), Drop Flight (16/1), Shang Tang (50/1)

SHEARER achieved a pretty useful level of form over hurdles and made a seamless transition to fences back in 2023. He still has low mileage overall for a horse of his age and, provided all is well following 20 months off, he could prove a tough nut to crack in his bid to make it 3-3 over the larger obstacles. Acey Milan gets the nod for forecast purposes, albeit only marginally as Angels Breath is also a very viable candidate for that role.
