Last year's winner is 7 lbs lower this time and will be suited by this marathon trip, having raced over 20f the last twice. His best run this season came on heavy ground over 25f, and he'll appreciate the falling rain at Windsor. With the cheekpieces going on and Jack Tudor in the saddle, the yard looks to be targeting this prize.

Protektorat was an impressive winner of this last year, but he got the run of things and might have more on his plate this year as an 11-year-old. Matata has untapped potential at this trip and showed LTO he doesn't have to go from the front, which should suit him well in this company. He's in strong form, and although he has to concede weight to the Skelton runner, I think he's objectively the best in this field and an each-way player in the Ryanair.

I fancied Lord Snootie at Warwick last weekend when the racing was abandoned, but this makes a nice consolation prize. Down the field after 400+ days off the track last time out, but he can improve with that under his belt. A mark of 123 leaves him fairly weighted based on previous form at this trip. Heavy ground is no issue, and Jack Tudor back in the saddle is a positive.

The Twiston-Davies yard had a strong Friday, which can continue into the weekend. Moveit Like Minnie seems underestimated in the market. He has dropped to a mark of 117, and the tongue tie goes back on after being missing for the last three starts. He could get his own way out front and can bounce back to form.

Arguably got to the front too soon last time and ended up finishing 3rd, but had previously looked progressive at staying trips. Comes from a yard that has won this twice in the last four years with horses of a similar profile, and her mark of 114 seems to leave her with plenty of scope.

Still lightly raced for a 9yo and was sent off favourite for the Coral Gold Cup last time. Had looked a potential graded horse when bolting up in the Ultima from 127 and should still be fairly treated from 142 if none the worse for his fall last time.

La Conquiere

-50

At this trip, Nurse Susan looks to have plenty on her plate, and I suspect the Coral Cup might be the long-term target. Joyeuse sets the standard on the basis of her hurdles form last year, but La Conquiere is progressive. Although she has plenty to find on ratings, she was a Listed hurdle winner last time and is underestimated by her OR of 128. She hasn't been challenged in her two victories over hurdles but was second in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree, and I'd be shocked if she wasn't at least the same level over hurdles.

3rd in this race last year from a mark of 139 and ran consistently in the spring handicaps without winning. Reappeared with a good 2nd at Sandown and has been raised 2 lb to 140, but has a strong 7 lb claimer in the saddle and is weighted to go better than last year.

Saves his best for the all-weather with figures of 1-2-1 on three starts on this surface. Won cosily last time from a mark of 86, and a 6 lb rise potentially still leaves him well treated based on his second over C&D last May. Looks loads of pace in the race, so his hold-up tactics should suit.

In receipt of the 7 lb mares' allowance, Take No Chances can put it up to last year's winner, Nemean Lion. She's 1 lb clear on weight-adjusted ratings and should appreciate the drop back in trip, having run over 3 m the last twice and being just touched off in the Grade 2 Bet365 Hurdle at Wetherby. Her form also includes beating Kargese over 16 f at Ascot this time last year, so she's not short of speed. Her yard will have targeted this meeting given the prize money on offer.

Missed the break LTO but ran a great race to finish a never-nearer 3rd from today's mark of 100 over C&D. The winner won a Listed race next time, and with a 7 lb claimer in the saddle, Teumessias Fox looks well treated for a yard in storming form. He should be able to tuck in from his wide draw and can outrun his odds.

Many of these have shown their best form over further, and at this stage in their careers I'd prefer a horse stepping up in trip rather than back. Doyen Du Bar has just turned 10 but is relatively lightly raced, with just 12 starts over obstacles (8 over fences). He has some strong form at 16f. He steps up to 21f for the first time here today ??" a trip he's bred to get ??" and comes from a yard that are flying.

Given a quiet run on his return after 400+ days off the track, he was never put into the race and can improve with that under his belt. Normally ridden forward, a mark of 122 leaves him well handicapped on old form. He's a proper stayer who will be happy when the ground turns heavy and can afford to win this qualifier rather than needing to worry about his mark.

Hard to see the Skelton runner out of the frame, with the yard having won the last two renewals and A Pai De Nom having been laid out for this by his master trainer. Twice a winner at this trip, he won as expected at 16f last time but should appreciate stepping back up to 21f and continue his upward curve from the same mark (124).

King of the Lake bounced back to form to get up at Chepstow last time for a yard that has turned their fortunes around. The front two pulled well clear that day, and the 7 lb claimer keeps the ride. Claiming jockeys are a huge positive in this race historically. A 5 lb rise looks OK, and he'll have conditions to suit.

Conditions look perfect for Mr Vango, with sticky heavy ground and a slog over 27f on offer. He was given 3 lbs for his reappearance, finishing 2nd to Twig, which sees him rated 155. With L'Homme Presse in the field, he will have a rare day off shouldering top weight and can dictate in this smallish field, which sees almost half running out of the handicap.

I'm keen to take on the favourite and, given the shape of the race, Edwardstone makes the most appeal. There's not much pace on offer, and we've seen him adopt front-running tactics before. He's in receipt of weight from all his rivals. Easily the best of these at his peak, he's now a 12-year-old, but his second in the Peterborough Chase LTO shows he retains plenty of ability.

There's a serious amount of pace on offer, with Twinjets, Matata and Glengouly all wanting to get on with things. For that reason, it may pay to side with a hold-up horse, and Il Ridoto makes more appeal, having won over C&D and dropped to a mark of 139, which leaves him well handicapped even without the jockey's 7 lb claim. Good ground suits him well, and the yard have their horses in fine fettle.

Never put into the race on seasonal return but should strip fitter for that effort when 4th at Newcastle. The bare effort looks strong, though, with the 1st and 3rd winning since, and the 2nd finishing 3rd in the Welsh National. Will like the quick ground and is well handicapped from an unchanged mark of 126 for a yard in good form.

Well supported when ultimately disappointing on his seasonal return at Cheltenham, he was sent off 16/5 favorite but finished down the field.

The yard are in decent form, and a mark of 132 looks workable on a return to this track.

No horse older than 7 has won this since 2018, and even then it's rare enough. The eye was immediately drawn to River Cross; however, he was comprehensively beaten (5L) by Kings Threshold here last season, and a 3 lb swing doesn't look enough to change that. Gericault Roque is thrown in on his best form, but it's not certain he'll be ready to go after a break, so Kings Threshold is the selection. Three chase starts here have seen him finish 3-1-4, and the win came at just shy of this trip. Good ground will suit him better than most, and he's a strong selection.

A rating of 128 leaves him with plenty of scope to win this prize en route to the final in March, and connections have previous. Unexposed as a staying hurdler, having maiden hurdle form which ties in with plenty of smart types, he then made a winning handicap debut last time from a mark of 118, pulling clear by 7.5L. He steps up in trip, having run well over 22f at Galway in the summer, and represents a yard in fine form.

I'm keen to take on the top two in the market, who may not have today as their cup final. Whilst Fastorslow looks the main danger, I fancy Gerri Colombe to outrun his odds given the stable form. Off for 400+ days, but his record fresh reads 1-1-1-1-3, with the 3rd when seemingly amiss at Down Royal last autumn. Connections have openly suggested he's not a Gold Cup contender, meaning this prize becomes even more attractive. He was 2nd to Galopin in this two years ago, and conditions will suit.

Seems to save his best for Chepstow, having not finished outside the top four on 13 completed starts over C&D. Won over fences at this meeting in 2023 from a mark of 120 and finished 2nd here in April over hurdles from 115. Respectable efforts this term, but his mark has dropped and he goes here from 111 and has conditions to suit.
