Jack The Nipper
Very unexposed after only four starts but struggled when upped to 2m4f for recent seasonal/chase/handicap debut and needs to be a completely different proposition on this first attempt at 3m.

Ali Star Bert
Too inconsistent to rely upon heavily but kept on well to score over C&D (soft) last month, his seventh chase success, and can cope with subsequent 5lb rise if in the right mood again.

Seasmoke
Built upon promising seasonal/chase debut when winning six-runner handicap at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) last month; still unexposed at around 3m and Sean Bowen takes the ride today; must be considered seriously.

Felton Bellevue
Four-time chase winner (once over C&D); back down to a good mark now but was well beaten on seasonal debut in October and looked rather laboured when fifth behind Seasmoke at Market Rasen last month.

Henry Box Brown
Not really firing on all cylinders in recent months but was seemingly aided by cheekpieces when making the frame on last two outings (both 2m7f, good); will be fine on today's slower ground and enters calculations.

Lone Soldier
Returned from long layoff with two disappointing hurdle runs last month (2m4f/2m); recent fourth over fences at Market Rasen (2m3f, good to soft) was more encouraging but he needs to build on that performance and prove his stamina here.

40/1 |
Voleur De Terres
2-11 in Irish points; still unexposed under rules but was pulled up in both handicaps (hurdle/chase) and is 7lb out of the weights here; very difficult to enthuse over.

Fast Deal
Caused 150-1 shock in 3m3f Stratford marathon in spring 2024 but that remains his only win from 63 career starts; in poor form this year and 8lb wrong here; look elsewhere.
