Electric Eddy
Raced far too freely in front under an amateur on reappearance, after a year off; straight back on song when second of eight in novice handicap at Hereford (2m) four weeks ago on chase debut; player on that but he's not proven on softer than good and is unraced on soft.

Catchim
Often front-runner; 0-9 over fences; runner-up off this mark here (2m4f, good) and at Southwell (2m, soft) in November, before a disappointing show at Wetherby 16 days ago; chance if bouncing back.

Touquet
Went the wrong way over hurdles for Paul Nicholls and inconsistent in his four chases for Nick Gifford, but the two placed efforts at Lingfield (2m, good/good to soft; helped set the pace) this season need some respect; had wind surgery in the spring and now has his tongue tied.

Zoeman
6yo who has had just five races; soundly beaten on his handicap hurdle debut in April 2024 and absent 574 days before his chase debut in handicap at Southwell (2m, soft) last month but that was a lot better, coming from off the pace to be third of six (Catchim second); needs to build on that.

Belle Montrose
Wins at Uttoxeter in September and Fakenham (also 2m, good) in October were the clear highlights among her five chases; ran badly at Fakenham on penultimate start and only partially revived with cheekpieces enlisted at Sedgefield latest, so there are mixed messages.

Grain Trade
Not proven on soft; won at Market Rasen (2m4f) and looked booked to complete his double when coming down at Fontwell (2m2f) later in October; it's unclear what happened at Huntingdon (2m4f) on latest start as he stopped very quickly; in with a shout if he can bounce back from that.

Pottersjetamay
Maiden after 16 races; three consecutive seconds in small fields this year, in handicap chases last two occasions, but pulled up behind two of these rivals on soft ground at Southwell latest start; not the percentage call.

Forcetoreckonwith
Beaten over 30l in her first two handicaps but, with a hood removed, second of seven at Sedgefield (2m, soft) four weeks ago on her second chase start; this Irish maiden point winner could build on that, with the benefit of experience.

Ballybay
Five races spread over three and a half years for three different stables, and he lacks worthwhile form; makes chase debut.

- Benjamin Poste / C Hobson

100/1 |
Walk The Plank
Five races, with a 31l defeat his closest finish; this second handicap sees him dropped in trip for his chase debut.
