Diplomatic Ash
Won two Fontwell chases in March (2m3f/2m2f) and battled on well for second in small field there (2m3f, good to soft) last month, after a break; nudged up to another career-high mark here but can still make his presence felt; swaps cheekpieces (worn for last four races) for blinkers.

Alto Alto
Made all in first-time visor at Plumpton (2m1f, soft) in February and is only 1lb higher here but has become very inconsistent in recent years and needs to bounce back from last month's disappointing seasonal debut.

Windsurfer
Won 2m4f Uttoxeter hurdle (good ground) from the front in June but safely held over that trip in two chases this autumn (hampered on first occasion; jumped left last time); should cope with this drop back to 2m but still needs to prove himself over fences.

Boston Boy
Had very mixed record over hurdles and is a bit of a character (ran out in consecutive races last autumn); well beaten on last month's chasing debut at Huntingdon (2m, good), after a break, and needs to have taken significant benefit from that outing.

Jaipaletemps
Returned from break with two soft-ground wins at Ffos Las last month (2m/2m3f; both under Rian Corcoran); had to settle for third at Haydock (2m4f, good to soft) 18 days ago but that certainly wasn't a bad run and he remains of interest.

Hors Jeu
French hurdle winner in spring 2024; safely held in four British hurdle races last season but made made fairly encouraging chase debut when fourth of six at Wetherby (1m7f, soft) last month and might come on for the run.

Jeu D'opale
French chase winner in 2022; returned from long absence with two disappointing hurdle runs for new stable in February but put in good front-running shift before weakening at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) this month; dropped sharply in trip for this return to fences and will presumably be ridden very positively again.
