Walkinthewoods
Didn't fail for stamina upped to a stayers' trip for the first time in two years when second in a 3m hurdle here latest (good to soft), albeit beaten about 6l; 6lb higher back over fences, but nevertheless still a chance on his peak chasing form of 2023-24.

Staff Sergeant Len
Not bred for fences, but would have gone close on Boxing Day's Wincanton chase debut but for a final-fence unseat (2m4f, good to soft); untried at 3m, but has occasionally hinted at a need for it; chance.

Annie Express
Late mistakes when beaten on both chase starts for Warren Greatrex in spring 2024, albeit granted conditions quicker than this slow-ground Irish point winner might prefer; long absence to defy on stable debut.

Haut Folin
No better for the 279-day break when registering yet another pulling up last month, despite having his preferred 3m on slow ground; 9lb below his one British winning mark now but hard to warm to; blinkers return.

Had Shot Boii comfortably held when falling two out at Wincanton last month (3m1f, soft); moderate effort since served as a fresh reminder that he needs at least a sight of the lead to be able to function.

Shot Boii
Just 1-17 over fences, and last time's 5l second at Wincanton (3m1f, soft; kept on but never threatened) owed something to the late exit of Anytrixwilldo; mark unmoved but Rian Corcoran claiming 2lb fewer this time.

Triple point winner who retains lowish mileage over fences, but yet to prove much ability remains since return from 14 months off.

Est Illic
Burst a blood vessel when well beaten here (2m4f) on last month's return from a major absence, and can't approach confidently just now.

Meranti
Can't judge too harshly on last month's pulling up in a Uttoxeter mudbath (only two of ten finished), but two efforts before that fall well short of the required here; blinkers need to prove transformative.
