Imperial Rule
Led close home to cause 25-1 surprise over C&D (good) in May, form that has been very well advertised by the placed horses (one was Kingofthegame) since; not in same form over hurdles last month but still strongly considered; wears first-time cheekpieces.

Jack Sprat
Bettered low-key stable debut (over hurdles) when second to very progressive rival over C&D (good) last month and remains well handicapped on some of his form for Jamie Snowden; likely contender.

El Muchacho
Placed three consecutive times in March-May (2m4f-2m5f, good/good to soft) and has claims if judged on that form but didn't fire when well-held third of four on latest outing and also disappointed on only previous visit to Cartmel; usually ridden patiently; others appeal more.

Placed in two 2m7f Kelso chases in the autumn (good/good to soft) but ran poorly over 3m1f here on Saturday, after a five-month break, and will need to rebound quickly.

Kingofthegame
Battled well to win consecutive 3m1f chases here in May/June and ran at least as well when close third (just behind Judicial Review) over that trip on Saturday; should be fine over this shorter distance if tough enough to show his form again just two days later.

Judicial Review
Gained all three chase wins at this track (2m5f-3m1f); bounced back from two lacklustre efforts when staying on to go close here (3m1f, good; usual tongue-tie/blinkers left off) on Saturday and remains well handicapped but it's hard to predict whether he'll be in the right mood again; wears cheekpieces for first time since 2024.

Path Of Stars
1-16 over hurdles, having gained a hard-fought course win (2m6f, good) in May; evidently well suited by this track but will need to find hidden reserves to overcome a 4lb higher mark on this chasing debut.

Blazing Court
Well handicapped on old form but failed to complete three consecutive races in April-June and was well beaten here (2m1f) on Saturday; difficult to enthuse over.

Aill Dubh
One of two to pull clear of the others when opening account at Newcastle (2m7f, good to soft) in March, and both subsequent fourths (3m/3m1f; latter was here) were perfectly respectable; may benefit from this drop back in trip; no surprise if he features.

Fast Deal
Well beaten on both starts this year (3m1f/2m3f) and makes no appeal from 10lb out of the handicap.
