|
4/1 |
Supremely West
Rules record is 6-16; ran promisingly in Pertemps qualifier at Cheltenham (3m) on stable debut; perhaps hindered by racing on the inside there since (behind Kikijo, who took the outer route); not written off.

- Non Runner / O Murphy

6/1 |
Chasing Fire
Regained the winning thread at Perth on reappearance; ran creditably in Pertemps qualifier at Aintree (again over 3m) since, beating all bar a subsequent Grade 2 scorer; 1-1 at Sandown; solid claims.

- Green Book
- Charlie Deutsch / Miss V Williams

14/1 |
Green Book
Two from two at Sandown; ran creditably off 5lb higher in the 2023 Pertemps Final but has been absent since; market may prove best guide.

The Lord Maid
Record of 3-7 over hurdles features a win at Ayr in the spring; ties in closely with Chasing Fire on Aintree reappearance form; may still have further improvement in her; possibilities off unaltered mark.

- Hititi
- Harry Kimber / R Walford

25/1 |
Hititi
No win since spring 2023; went close in this race two years ago but has a doubt over current form; beaten long way in last two appearances.

- Kikijo
- Callum Pritchard / P Hobbs & J White

|
3/1 |
Kikijo
Successful in Class 2 handicap (3m, soft) at the Cheltenham November meeting, building on reappearance effort and taking overall record to 3-7 (gained one win over fences); up 7lb but respected with further progress plausible.

- Ikarak
- S Bowen / O Murphy

15/2 |
Ikarak
Held on narrowly at Lingfield (2m7f, good to soft) on seasonal debut, taking hurdles record to 5-15 and strike-rate for current stable to 3-6; faces a stiffer task off career-high mark back up in grade.

7/1 |
Lavender Hill Mob
Belied his 33-1 odds with success in handicap (2m5f, soft) at the Cheltenham November meeting; still well treated judged on Flat ability and may have more to offer over hurdles upped further in trip.

Absolutely Doyen
Maiden prior to completing a hat-trick this term for new stable, scoring readily at Ascot (3m, good to soft; handicap debut) most recently; up 8lb but on a roll and open to further improvement; one for the shortlist.

Turndlightsdownlow
Two from two since handicapping, namely wins at Kempton (2m5f, good) by an aggregate of about 17l; may progress further, provided he copes with this different scenario; receives plenty of weight all round.
