Percy Jones
Most of his AW form is at Wolverhampton, winning three times, most recently in October; close third off this mark in latest outing; place claims, provided he takes to Kempton (first run here).

The Craftymaster
Highly productive spell on AW last winter/spring featured seven wins; not in the same form since but a resurgent display would put him in the picture; 2lb below last winning mark.

Orchestra
Couple of Flat turf wins for previous yard and scored over hurdles in November; still has something to prove on AW and chance depends on how well he responds to addition of tongue-tie.

Haliphon
Placed in C&D event last month but posted a lesser effort at Chelmsford (1m6f) since, taking AW record to 0-9; enough to prove back at 2m and doesn't look the percentage call.

- Callum Hutchinson / P Butler

Yorksea
Twice refused to race during his last spell over hurdles and has been absent for 11 months; wears new headgear on debut for new yard; capable on his day but comes with risk.

Comte De Loir
Unexposed 4yo; hung left but posted an improved effort (close second, clear of remainder) at Southwell last week when upped to 2m on handicap debut; could well take another step forward, especially if keeping straighter; highly respected off same mark.

Le Rouge Chinois
Not entirely solid on recent form but latest effort gives some cause for optimism and he is attractively handicapped; twice defied slightly higher marks in the first half of 2024.

Doublethetrouble
Went very close over C&D when bidding for a September hat-trick; first run since when beaten 2l (ran creditably) at Lingfield this month; solid chance, assuming he maintains the consistency.

Zivaniya
Inconsistent of late and performed below market expectations at Newcastle most recently; 2-4 over C&D and on a handy mark, so holds a fighting chance provided he's back in top form.
