Chestnut Pete
Beaten about 12l behind McGrath From Clune at Hereford and probably ran to a similar level when third there 16 days ago; only 1-27 overall and might be vulnerable once more.

Glajou
Ran well in July after a long absence but little to shout about since and he's due a 4lb drop.

Merry Monty
C&D winner in February 2024 (good) when 9lb lower; confined to only two runs since, finishing third in a big field at Uttoxeter but tailed off there two weeks ago after jumping out to the right; back here, and given the promise of that penultimate effort, he's dangerous to dismiss.

Grain Trade
Looked booked to defy a penalty when coming down at Fontwell (2m2f, good to soft) on penultimate start; it's unclear what happened off this 5lb higher mark at Huntingdon on latest as he stopped very quickly; definite chance if he can bounce back from that.

Owl Of Athens
Found his feet over hurdles earlier this year and some sticky jumping had him on the back foot early when beaten 24l on chase debut at Ffos Las (2m, soft) last month; capable of better.

Chief O'Hara
Winning pointer; lightly raced under rules and came readily clear over C&D two weeks ago (good to firm; previous encouraging run was on soft); a 7lb rise would be manageable if he's not flattered by that.

Inchagoill Lady
Her win here in April was over 3m on good to firm (can handle softer); back from another wind operation when a 10l second at Hereford (2m5f, good) last time, proving no match for the easy winner; even if holding her form, this drop in distance doesn't look a positive.

Fox Wallace
In a good run of form during the summer but twice well below that level after wind surgery; bit to prove now.

22/1 |
McGrath From Clune
Won from out of the weights at Hereford (2m, good) and ran well under a penalty (off only 2lb higher) at Newcastle; now has another 3lb to contend with and they used a 7lb claimer last time; still bring each-way claims.

Palawan Du Mazet
Beat a subsequent winner on chase debut over C&D in February (soft; same mark) when last seen, only to be disqualified later due to a banned substance; clearly on a good mark but has been off for a good while and could do with some rain.
