This one went in the tracker after its run in a Class 2 at Ponty, where he was snatched up and got no run at all. Down in grade today, running off a mark 4 lb lower than his last winning one, he has a nice draw in 10 and will be more than happy on this fast ground.

Both wins have come with "soft" in the ground description, but she went really close three times in Scotland last year on this type of ground. All three runs were off higher marks than today's mark of 70. Three runs here have seen finishing positions of 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. The trainer had a winner at Catterick last week. Short enough in the betting, but looks one of the most likely winners.

The elder statesman of this party, but they've been patient with this one, and he showed enough last time after 433 days off to suggest he is still competitive at this level. His Sandown record is 3142371 from 7 completed starts, and his form on good ground is 143214219, and the "9" was way back in 2019. His last win was off 2 lb higher, and he was 4th in a stronger renewal of this two years ago. If there is still life in the old dog, he's a massive price this afternoon.

6-year-old who has been mixing hurdles with chases and flat runs over the last 12 months. He's rated in the mid 110s over the larger obstacles, so this hurdles mark of 108 could give him a squeak. Cobden is an interesting jockey booking for a horse that looks better on faster ground. It will definitely give him a better chance of getting home, which looks a slight issue. Can go well at a massive price.

From a stable that historically do well at this time of year and had a winner on the flat yesterday. Best run to date last time out over a similar trip and on similar ground. Still only a 6yo and not many runs under her belt. Down to a mark of 84 now and Calimer takes off a useful 5 lb. Can go well at a decent price.

The only runner in this race that has won off a mark higher than their current mark. That win was just about this trip, but he also went close twice in Ireland over 3m. He was favorite for the hurdle race that Haiti Couleurs won earlier in the season, and that day he ran off 9 lb higher than today, which shows how well in he could be. The jockey favors him over the stable's other runner. He should go well at a reasonable price.

Fàbregas is doing a cracking job at unfashionable Como, just 2 points away from a Champions League place. Tonight they face a side that has still to beat a top-6 team this season. Sassuolo are just 2 points from 10 games against top-6 sides. They have lost all four home games and failed to score in any of them. Como were good enough to beat Juventus and draw with AC on the road recently, so this will hold no fears.

Won this race two years ago off 93, back down to his last winning mark of 89. He lost all chance when rearing up at the start last year. He ran a couple of nice races after his last win off marks in the low 90s but finished the year on softer ground, which isn't his bag. He had a blowout at Donny on softer-than-ideal ground, which should put him spot on for today. Too big at 20/1.

I'm going to take a chance that the change of stable might renew this boy's enthusiasm for the game. This former King Power charge had a three-figure rating less than two years ago. Whilst he's been on the decline since leaving the Stoute yard, there have been some glimpses that suggest he can still go well in a race of this nature. Twice in the last 10 months he's been beaten around 5L; those runs were off marks of 90 and 83 in Class 2 and 3 events. His best results have come over 1m 4f+ and he's won off a 200-day break in the past. Running off an effective 74 today, if he's ready to go he can go well at a double-figure price.

Has form with the best chasers in Ireland. It looks like this is the plan this year: just three runs and no Cheltenham. This guy has been staying on over 3m, and he jumps really well. His form ties in really well with Grangeclare West, who is vying for favoritism, and he gets 7 lb from that rival this afternoon. Drying ground shouldn't be an issue. He can go well at a double-figure price.

If this guy hadn't run at Cheltenham, he'd be half the price for this. You can simply put a line through that run. The start was a farce and he got shuffled back. Cobden gave up, saving him for another day. That day has come. The step up in trip will suit, and he can get his career back on track.

Two 10-year-old previous race winners here. Whilst last year's winner looks to hold a great chance, I'm going to go for 2023's winner. Only 3 lb higher than when winning that day. He's had two tries over the fences since. He unseated at the chair in 2024, then earlier this year he ran a cracker behind Twig in the Becher, not getting home over 3m 2f on soft, off 3 lb higher than today. Down in trip, better ground, 3 lb lighter ??" he'll do for me at a massive price.

Heartwood is favorite on the back of winning the worst Ryanair in living memory, so I have to take him on. This time last year Grey Dawning ran a cracker in the Bowl behind Gaelic Warrior (remember him) when he was outstayed. He ran a good race in the Gold Cup without quite getting up the hill. This drop in trip looks ideal and Skelton picks him over the other stable runner.

I think this guy should be favorite. He ran a cracker in the Browns, coming from behind when nothing was winning off the pace. He had Wendigo cooked that day. He's already beaten Doyen Quest twice. The favorite was only thought good enough to run in a handicap at Cheltenham, and he couldn't win that.

5yo who looks on the upgrade. Ran an extraordinary race at Cheltenham in October. He was out of the back of the telly before flying to finish just 4L behind, and that race has worked out well. Off since, but he always goes well fresh. Claimer takes off a useful 3 lb, and the step up in trip should suit.

You don't have to go too far into this guy's form to find efforts that would see him go close in a race of this nature. He won a Grade 3 less than 12 months ago, beating Blood Destiny by 2 lengths. That horse was second to Energumene last week at Fairyhouse. In November he was third in a Grade 2 behind Found A Fifty and Dino Blue. Now, with Mulholland and a couple of quiet runs, it would be no surprise to see a better effort at a massive price this afternoon.

Every chance he would have beaten The New Lion and BDH at Cheltenham but for a blunder at the last. At 6 yo he should still be improving. Although his best results have come at 2m, he did win over 2m 3f early in his career and shows no obvious reason why he won't stay. Looks overpriced at 8s.

His last win came off 81, and today he runs off the same mark, but a good claimer takes off 5 lb, giving an effective mark of 76.

A course-and-distance winner at the track on this type of ground. Ran a cracker in the Thyestes and has been kept for this, judging by him missing Cheltenham and having a run over hurdles to preserve his chase mark. Walsh rides another JP horse, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see JP go in with one of his others. Torrens has ridden him to victory in the past. Looks a lively outsider at around 20s.

5-year-old who is still unexposed over hurdles. This is his 7th hurdles run this afternoon. He's only been out of the first two once in his career; that was last time. He'd run on the flat 10 days prior to that run, and I wonder if that took its toll. He's been given a nice break since.

Typical Prescott type, scuttling about in 5K races, edging up in trip with the odd win and then looking outpaced. Then up pops a 25K race and he goes up half a mile in trip with first-time headgear applied. No doubt maximum effort from "the Windmill" incoming. Still only 4yo and with only six runs to date, plenty of improvement likely. Should go well at a fair price.

Was highly tried as a juvenile and has two nice pieces of form here. He was 3rd in a Grade 2 juvenile, beaten less than 10 lengths. First time up this year, after six months off, he finished second to a horse who subsequently was rated 140. Admittedly that horse was receiving weight from 117, but it was still a good effort in the context of this race. Now rated 113 but effectively 106 with the claimer taking off 7 lb. He's still to prove he 100% gets this trip, but on this type of ground he'll have as good a chance as he's likely to get. Could be a player at around 12/1.

This guy has been really consistent since going handicapping 5125543251 when trained by Adam Nicol, then won on debut for David Thompson. All his runs have been on good ground, and the trainer suggested that the ground was on the soft side last time, which explains his poor performance. Back on faster ground today and with stronger handling, he looks the one most likely to pick up the pieces if the top two in the betting falter.

I'm hoping a return to good ground might be the key for this one. Last two wins came on good ground around this time last year off marks of 110 and 117. A claimer takes off 5 lb today, giving him an effective mark of 115. He has still to win over this trip but was a close second first time up this year over it on heavy ground, so he should have no issues on the less taxing ground today. A big price for one that usually goes close when finishing.
