Sheldon
Only 4lb higher than for his clearcut Wincanton win two runs back and this is his trip; should be in the mix if sufficiently straight after his break.

Champagnesuperover
Two chase wins at about 3m1f in 2022 but not many completed in either; lightly raced since and got no further than the first at Southwell last time after a wind operation; bit to prove.

Invincible Nao
Won easily at Fakenham (2m5f, soft) in February and was a close second in good handicap at Sandown next time (2m4f, good to soft); finished last of the five on his comeback run back at Sandown but didn't run badly and could be sharper now.

High Treason
Only 1lb higher than for his handicap win over hurdles; made some mistakes when beaten 17l into third in his first chase at Newbury and reportedly unsuited by the turns of Fontwell last time; can go well.

William Cody
Won over C&D during a consistent last campaign and went in again at Huntingdon last month (2m4f, good to soft); below par since and might be a shade high in the weights.

Awaythelad
Didn't progress in handicap hurdles after maiden and novice wins (both on soft) this January and his first run over fences this season was better than the latest; has the ability to feature if on a good day.

Golden Whisky
Has dropped a long way in the weights and second run back from an absence was more encouraging (over C&D); needs more again but that's feasible.

Hunter Legend
Dual chase winner in the mud; may have needed his comeback run and appreciated getting back on soft ground when second to the favourite at Wincanton next time; major player.
