Bo Cruz
Has made the frame in all three of his handicaps, fading when fourth of seven on chasing debut at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft) on latest; may still be unexposed and should be thereabouts.

Athair Mor
Has improved with each run for current stable, collared close home and beaten neck over C&D (soft) three weeks ago; nudged up 3lb but going the right way and looks a strong contender again.

Wolfburg
Lightly raced and disappointing since winning a Catterick maiden hurdle (1m7f, soft) in February 2024, with no obvious promise on chasing debut last month; tumbling in the weights but needs the new cheekpieces and tongue-strap to make a big difference.

Aill Dubh
Won an Irish point last November but his rules form is not particularly strong and he was going backwards when unseating his rider three out on British/chasing debut at Hexham (25-1) two weeks ago; probably best watched.

Florita
Dual point runner-up; didn't achieve much over hurdles but she made an immediate impact on chasing debut at Market Rasen (2m3f, good to soft) three weeks ago, making smooth headway and quickening clear; that came off a basement mark and a 9lb rise does not look insurmountable; major chance.

Ivar The Boneless
0-17 under rules and yet to trouble the judge in 11 chase starts, most of them in Ireland (often highly tried); hopes rest on a change of stable and market support would be significant.

Mr Mahler
0-14 under rules and he was disappointing when a well-held last of five finishers at Catterick (7-2) ten days ago; hard to fancy on that evidence.

More miss than hit over hurdles but there was some promise in his fourth on chasing debut over C&D (soft; 18-1; faded after making smooth headway) last time; 6lb better off with runner-up Athair Mor and not ruled out.
