This has been the domain of younger horses in recent times, but 10-year-old+ horses filled 4 of the top 6 places in 2024, so I’m not too out of by that. With a field full of older horses, it was a lightly raced one in Champ Kiely that I thought was of interest. He’s got staying ability very much to prove, but he does share a sire with Mr Vango, who stays all day, and he did win at his longest distance raced on ground that wasn’t soft. He rather cantered into that race before finding plenty late on this time last year. It’s not really worked out for him since, but it’s of some interest to me that Danny Mullins steps back on, having been on for his finest runs, including that 3m2f win. Hopefully there isn’t too much rain. Whilst he’s not the obvious choice of a stayer over this far, he’s small and nimble over his fences, so hopefully he can conserve his energy and find a late kick.

Tricky and trappy at the top of the market, so I’m going to side with Take No Chances here. She was bullish in defeat when headed late by Strong Leader at Wetherby, when looking like the winner for a long way. She was subsequently ridden cold before staying on well behind the same horse and Impose Toi. It gives her something to find, but if she can be ridden more positively I think she could make use of her mares' allowance in this bigger field. She’s racked up a decent record over 3m+, and perhaps her ability to stay a bit further than this trip could prove beneficial. Rarely beaten far other than one blot from nine tests at the trip, it was a surprise to see her back in trip the last twice. A consistent sort that will give her running, she looks a big price based on her efforts behind Strong Leader.

On a major recovery mission after two poor efforts, the reapplication of the tongue tie provides some intrigue for this bottom-weight horse. It was applied on his first start for Mullins and he duly obliged. He kept on for a solid next effort; that was on soft ground, which Mullins has been clear he doesn’t want. You can upgrade that effort back in August, and he’s progressed since, peaking with a win at Kempton over 3 miles when he looked like a horse with something in hand. He was poor behind Lookaway at Kempton ??" almost too bad to be true after a number of mistakes, which he’ll need to cut out to get competitive here. Overall, in a rather middling race, I thought he looked a bet.

French raider who is battle-hardened over there with 28 runs under rules. He wasn’t far behind Losange Blue, who had previously beaten 152-rated Jet Blue, so whilst getting weight there it’s a decent level of form. Losange Blue is a proper horse, beating the likes of Hewick and July Flower back in 2024. The trip is a big enough question mark for him, as is the ground, but I’m happy to chance him on that. The trainer has had six winners in France in April, so is in fair form. He was entered into the 2-miler here on Friday but swerved that to go over further, which is interesting enough, as is the substitute if Bryony Frost follows the expected jockey’s injury.

Plenty of these ran in the Pertemps, and it’s along those lines that Quantum Quest could come into play. Fresh, having not run since December when giving 7 lb to Good Girl Kathleen. She did little for that form, but it should be noted that before that this horse finished four lengths behind Supremely West getting 10 lb. He’ll get 5 more here, and while that might not be enough to turn the tables in itself, he’s fresh off a big break which can gain him even more. A proven 3-miler on decent ground, he could be underestimated off this mark if he’s had any sort of progression behind the scenes in the last few months. Hopefully he’ll get forward to make the most of that proven stamina, and he’s generally ridden forwards anyway, so hopefully he’ll be doing his best work late.

Some proven stayers versus some yet to prove it versus some that look like staying, and this throws up an interesting contest. It was Talk To The Man that looked a fairly tempting price to me, having won with consummate ease last time, eased down late. He beat a fair marker in doing so ??" a 135-rated horse ??" so his mark of 130 can be largely ignored. A point winner whose mum is a sister to Lord Windermere, so stamina should prove his forte in a race that will demand it as an extended 3??'miler. Those proven over the trip should make this a test, but it should give him something to aim at with a couple of pace angles involved. Fourteen of the last 24 winners of this missed the Festival, so perhaps some freshness can be the key in this one.

Madara could continue his progression in this, but I’m minded to side with one that’s proven over the fences in Mahons Glory. A fading fifth in the Becher when flying off in front and getting pegged back late, he’s gone well at reduced trips twice since, and no more so than last time at Huntingdon. A 6 lb rise for that, and a career-high mark, could curtail this 10-year-old, but a course-and-distance fourth in the Sefton off just 4 lbs lower in November was another sound effort. He’s got a bit to find with Excello on that off similar terms, but I’d be hopeful he can stay a bit better this day off this low 10 st 7 lbs. Some company out in front might help to settle his early pace a bit better, but largely you know what you’re going to get from him. 5/6 a place on GS ground (3 wins), he’s 6/7 a place at the trip, and 5/5 a place off 31??"60 day layoffs. In a race where there are cases all over, this horse definitely deserves his chance here.

An easy winner on his only try over this trip over fences, L’Eau de Sud is a clear second choice on jockey bookings but looks a bit more targeted at this than Grey Dawning. He went well at Cheltenham when third behind Il Etait Temps, and that was his first run in three months. He’s 2 from 4 off 15??"30 day layoffs, so might not feel the effects of that effort, especially having had that run to potentially blow away some cobwebs. He shaped pretty well at Cheltenham and just looked a bit one-paced up the hill. He’s a sound jumper in a race that lacks pace, and he could be one to make this in the hope that it sets it up for Grey Dawning, but he doesn’t actually have a great deal to find with the top horses in here being just 5 lbs off Heart Wood, for whom this is also surely a consolation prize. I’d hope Durrell just lets him go to see if he stays as well as he did first time over fences.

Skipped Cheltenham, unlike those above him in the betting who all had hard races there. He ventured to Newbury for a try up at almost 3 miles and rather demolished a field that he would be expected to beat if he’s to get anywhere near this level. He did beat Regents Street off worse terms than this at Cheltenham in January over 2m4f, with a spring-heeled leap at the last and staying strongly up the hill. He looked to have plenty of running left in him and duly obliged up in trip for the first time. Going over slightly further here does look equally interesting, as he didn’t appear to be stopping there either and was spring-heeled over the last there too. He should get a nice tow into this from Doyen Quest and will hopefully be hard to pass if they don’t go too hard.

Skelton’s French recruit interested me, but he’s got mixed form; some of it suggests a well-handicapped horse. Olly Murphy throws five at this prize, and, whilst perhaps not the pick on jockey bookings, I was minded to forgive Fingle Bridge his effort at Sandown. He was taken off his feet by a strong pace and never got into the race at all. Back up in trip can suit him here. Barring a mistake at the last, he’d probably be facing a bigger mark than this when chasing home Cheltenham winner Meetmebythesea at Ayr. He followed that up with a decent weight-carrying performance in heavy ground at Warwick, and he’ll need to repeat the feat here, but I’d hope the flatter track can see him home stronger. Plenty of his back form suggests a well-handicapped horse off 137 if he can put it all together and cope with this racing weight.

Two of his three wins have come saddling between 10st 8lbs and 11lbs, and he gets the bottom of that here. He’s also 4/4 to place from a 31??"60 day layoff, while being 6/8 to place going left. Back to 2m also looks a plus, with two of his three wins coming over this trip, at which he is 6/8 to place. Back down to a mark that saw him finish 2nd to Ryan's Rocket, he’s on a few pounds better terms here over a slightly shorter trip, which is also a plus. He saddled top weight, giving 6lbs to Highlands Legacy over course and distance in November on reappearance, and he gets a 13lb pull with that horse here. He’s got to put his last run behind him, but on balance he just looks too well handicapped to ignore, for all he may prefer a bit more juice in the ground. He’ll probably be there to be shot at, although there’s a lack of obvious pace in the race, with Sans Bruit likely to push on with him. That could serve the pair well against a glut of hold-up performers. Cheekpieces go on, which are an interesting addition.

1-4 from the Cheltenham Hunter Chase come here for this shorter version, and that all again probably favors Barton Snow in truth. He’s a worthy favorite, but the one I liked at the prices with five places available was Let’s Go Champ. Clearly not without issues, being a lightly raced 11-year-old. He went well last time when beating Hunters Yarn, getting just 2 lbs, who commands a rating of 153. He looked to be on the way to winning recently when falling late. This horse also beat Journey With Me and City Chief before that; both of those wins have boosted that form. Both wins were on heavy ground, and he looks more capable on good ground, so you can perhaps right the up even more. 5/1 JF when pulling up in a Grade 3 this time last year??"there’s a chance he could just be swinging from the front rank. With a guarantee largely that he’ll stay, hopefully he can take some of these off their feet if he can go the pace, as there doesn’t appear to be bundles of it.

Bucketloads to find on ratings, but going back left-handed could be a plus for Nicholl’s horse, who hasn’t shown his ability yet over jumps. He’s been held out wide on the last two occasions at Kempton, often looking like he wants to go left, so this track could be more to his liking. He’s priced accordingly, but the first-time cheekpieces did help to sharpen up his jumping last time, and they’re retained here. Shoved up in class, he could well end up with a bit of a freebie up front, and he showed last time that he does at least possess a bit of an engine, fighting on well off a big weight in a handicap. As I said, he’s got loads to find; the 5-year-olds do have a poor record in this, which does put you off Lulamba, for all it could be a procession for him. Of the older horses, Jax Junior is held by Lulamba, and Koktail Divin may prefer softer ground.

Mange Tout seemingly had ground excuses last time, which she won’t have here. She is tempting as the freshest of the top of the market, with the other four all running at Cheltenham. However, I thought it was perhaps Ammes who was a touch overpriced to hit the frame in this, despite him being well beaten by Winston Junior in the Fred Winter. He travelled well behind Minella Study before shanking the last couple of hurdles somewhat at Wetherby. He stayed on stoutly and was not beaten far at all. With a better round he can go well. Owen reaches for the visor to sharpen him up, which isn’t necessarily a negative move. He was in the process of running a good race at Cheltenham before ultimately not staying up the hill. On this flatter track, he’ll hopefully travel much better in a race that should leave no hiding place.

Mark Walsh’s pick of JP’s is fairly unoriginal, but he’s been finishing strongly over 3m or thereabouts, so he looks worth a second look off a nice low weight carry. The longer trip and lack of obvious pace should see him able to lie up a bit closer to the pace here, as he was under pressure from a long way out last time. The manner of his win suggested he had plenty more in the tank, overhauling the second, who got first run on him, with a fairly devastating finishing kick. He looked to be doing so without a swing of the old persuader, so perhaps he has plenty more in hand than the 9 lb rise he’s been slapped with. His win in the Amateur National a few starts back suggested the same, so hopefully he’s been plotted nicely toward this race.

Some proven thorough stayers in here, and you can almost take your pick from all of them. I liked the profile of Sea Invasion, who is 3/4 here, including two wins at just north of 3 miles. It’s his first time at this trip. He’s lightly raced this season, and his last chase has worked out well. That was a peak RPR, and he’s lost a couple of lbs for it, taking him to a tempting mark. His pedigree suggests he can take to this new trip. A hurdles run soon prior to this suggests this has been the target all along, especially given his strong form this time last year. The ground looks ideal. Whilst this will demand a career best, he’s aided by a nice low weight. 5/8 a place (3 wins) when facing an uphill finish. Sam TD being back on is a plus, as he has an excellent 13/49 strike rate here in the last 5 years, being 4/6 (3 wins) for the trainer in that time.

A few cases to be made here, including a sound one for the current fav, but it was a Honeyball horse again that interested me. Chad Bament steps on to take this horse a lb below her winning mark at Windsor a few starts back. She acquitted herself well enough in a smart Grade 2 event at Warwick on heavy ground, which seemingly didn’t suit. Back to a sounder surface here is an obvious positive. Pulled up over 3 miles since, she’s clearly not suited to that trip, as she’s shown on a few occasions now. So, back in trip significantly here should see her in a better light. Bament’s claim has her towards the bottom of the weights here, and with a potential free ride up front, hopefully she’ll take some pegging back.

Indemnity ran Alexei to within a similar distance, defeated off similar terms to Helnwein, who looks better weighted with the favourite. So I think he’s worth forgiving his latest effort, given he’s getting plenty of weight from that horse here. It was arguably a couple of mistakes that put paid to this horse’s chances last time. Freshened up since, he can prove to be well handicapped enough here. With an entry in the Scottish Champion Hurdle in the offing, he’s going to want to be winning this to get into that. Whilst Lavelle’s form has fallen off a cliff, her form at the back end of March shouldn’t be sniffed at. The horse did win first time up for the season, suggesting the break since December is nothing to be feared.

Beautiful Diamond holds the cards on ratings, but she’s not prolific for all she could have. Found a good chance here. Hold A Dream has a similar profile, but, ever the fan of a horse stepping back in trip, she’ll do for me. She’s got something to find on these terms but did hit a peak RPR on her first start last term of 102. She’s up towards the top on speed ratings, so with a mix of speed and stamina for further, I hope she can be staying on late when others are crying off in a race that can get going from a long way out. Any Clive Cox horse over 5f should be respected here, with him being 14 from his last 40. A three-time winner of this race, he knows the type, and with this horse tied closely into Beautiful Diamond via a couple of horses, I think she can be considered overpriced from a mid to high draw that I don’t mind. It will hopefully guarantee her a clear run of things late on, which can often be a problem here as she’ll have to go the long way round.

You have to be minded to forgive a couple of down-the-field efforts for this horse. But drawn in the right place with a forward-going style in a race with a glut of pace, I think he could be staying on well off a light weight. A winner on reappearance last year, he proved a handicap blot, winning a further three times to jump up the handicap. Now just 2 lbs above his last winning mark, he’ll need to break on terms as he hasn’t the last twice (obvious over 5f, of course). But he’s 4/6 to place in fields of this sort of size (12??"15), and whilst being 3/3 to place in uphill finishes might not be obvious for this course, again it points to one that stays a strong 5f well at a sharp track. Drawn alongside some pace can help him if he doesn’t get to the front, and he looks a big price overall with plenty in his favour for me.

It was Rian Corcoran’s 7 lb claim that swayed me, though, as this takes Neon Moon to a mark of 123, which is below his last four winning marks. The jockey has been well utilised by Pipe, being 13 from 48 for him. He’s 10 from 34 over fences, and sits on 19 winners, losing 2 of his 7 lbs after 20 winners, so hopefully they’ve been waiting for this one. Indeed, he’s only had one ride since mid-March, and that was a few days ago, so he’d have kept the 7 lbs for this even if that had won. I think it’s an interesting angle, and takes this horse down to a low racing weight of 10 st 8 lbs on suitable ground. The only time he’s faced good ground this year, he won. On balance he looks a big price for one that should stay the trip well and be doing his best work late. In the hole they go a bit too quick for some of these to get home.

The favourite Gambino should be respected here, but Skelton's 0/11 on the flat is off-putting enough to take him on. Gentle Warrior looked unexposed enough over this trip to chance, and Saffie aboard here interested me as she’s 5/8 for a place here, winning 3. This race lacks obvious pace, so this horse could be one to make it as he has led in the past. With a record of 2/1 in races of 10 runners or more, he’ll have to defy a career-high mark but he could still have something in hand here. He was in the process of running a good race when a short-priced favourite beat him last time in October, but he got squeezed when making a run. Ridden under hands and heels after that, he was being saved for another day. He’s got an entry at Newmarket in a race that would need him to jump up the handicap to even get close to getting in. He has shown he can mix it with horses of this calibre at Haydock the time before last, and with a win at the very sharp track in Chester, he can cope with this sharp track.

Needs to transfer some decent AW form back to turf against some more unexposed horses. His run last time off levels just behind two horses rated 103 suggests a mark of 89 is still achievable. The last three races over this trip with six runners on this ground have seen all the winners come from stall 5, which he breaks from. Crouch is 1/2 here, and Boughey is 6/7 a place, albeit with just the one win here, so I’m not sure he sends this horse without a chance. The horse comes out top on speed achieved so far and has stamina in his pedigree for a bit further as an added bonus. The big negative is his turf form in Ireland, which he needs to put behind him if he’s to figure, but overall that looks worth chancing.

Vulnerable to the glut of 4-year-olds, but I thought this horse was somewhat interesting here, back to the same mark as his peak RPR last season. He’s in better terms with some of these, albeit not all of them. In those runs he had excuses. He has a better record fresh than it appears, running with credit on each occasion. I think if Orr can get him a bit more prominent, he could end up getting involved in a race that lacks overall pace. His win last season off 2 lbs lower saw him forward, so he is capable of it. He doesn’t lack for pace overall and sits in the top third of the speed ratings of the horses in here. He won’t be many people’s idea of the winner of this, but I do feel he’s overpriced enough to hit the places.

I would hope the pace on the high side gives that side an advantage, as you generally want to be drawn at or near the extremes here. The one that made appeal as being overpriced was Vincent Rocks, who is drawn alongside a pace angle, and actually beat the fave on debut off worse terms than this. A flop over a mile and two since, he’s priced on that effort potentially, and a bit of cut in the ground can help his chances. He’s a risk, as he’s the most unexposed and least experienced horse in the race, but on balance, the manner of his victory on debut suggests a horse that does have some ability. He broke slowly there and took a while to get going in the straight, but was well on top of his rival at the line.

He’s got something to find on ratings here, but Aramram looks worth a shot up in class. Rarely out of the frame over 6f last year, culminating in his mark rising above 100 for the first time. He won over course and distance back in 2024 on soft ground in a time that would have won this last year, and in doing so beat Spycatcher, who currently sits as favorite here, so he doesn’t lack ability. 2/2 for a place when returning off a break. The top of this market looks ripe for taking on, even if this horse doesn’t come out on top on ratings adjusted for weights here. He could be drawn in the right place to get a good tow into this, and his ability to stay a stiff 6f at Ascot could bode well for a strong finishing effort if he isn’t outclassed.

2/2 a place over 3m4f or further. He’s been running OK this season without setting the world alight. He’s 15 lbs lighter now than he was when posting a career-best RPR over the longest distance he’s tried. He’s been warming up this season, posting a season-best RPR last time. A lack of pace in here makes things a bit muddled, and he could be front rank; whoever is forward could get an easy time of it. If he can go forward and dictate a bit, he’s on the right side of the weight carries to see things home at this marathon trip, despite being up against some unexposed horses.

4/8 over fences. This horse gets nudged up in class while benefiting from an additional 5 lb claim, so he will be lugging just 10 st 3 lbs here.

She’s a fairly poor strike-rate and is vulnerable to younger, unexposed rivals, but I liked the setup for this horse here with a two-way go for the lead. She should be forward and she stays further. She gets a nice racing weight of 10st 10lbs and will hopefully not be stopping late on suitable ground. She’s had a spin over hurdles since her last chase start, where she posted an RPR of 114. She’s on a career-high mark to negotiate now of 108, adjusted to 105 for the jockey claim, who gets on with her well (4/7 a place aboard). Nudged up in class, her only other run at this level was over hurdles, where she placed last March behind a horse now rated 127 and getting just over a stone, so she could cope with the rise in grade over fences.

Gets a pretty big 13 lb weight pull with Indannya for a close-up defeat, with that horse being a similar price here. Whilst neither heads the market, it does suggest this one is on the overpriced side anyway. Her sole win came on good ground, so drying ground should hold no fears. This is only her third time up for the season. She could have taken a sizeable leap forward after nearly three months off the track. Notably, her sole win came off a similar sort of break last year. Bowen knows her well, being 3/4 a place on her, and her best efforts have come going this way round (left).

A few of these tempted at prices, but Crystal Days has some interesting form in the book and looks to be in quite light on handicap debut while also getting the benefit of Pritchard’s claim. Six lengths behind 122+ rated horses in October off level weights is the standout, so any repeat of that effort can see her go well off an adjusted mark of 102. Drying ground would be a bonus, and Pritchard is 3/4 a place with 2 wins round here. Nudged up in class for handicap debut, she’ll go off a feather weight post wind surgery.

Looks to have got off potentially lightly from an opening mark of 120 after just two runs. Most recently, he finished ahead of a subsequent winner, albeit while receiving 7 lbs. He finished behind Modern Man on debut, who has some proper form to his name, including runs behind Kingston Queen and Kripticjim, who are rated considerably higher than this. That horse was also third behind 144-rated Skylight Hustle in a P2P, which adds some gloss to the effort. He lacks experience, but hopefully he has enough leeway in this mark to get involved in this admittedly open event.

1 lb above his last winning mark, this horse's last race has worked out well. It was a race in which he returned to form post wind surgery, and did so lugging 12 st round Catterick over further than this. The winner has won since off 3 lbs higher, and the third has finished a close second. Off a 2 lb higher mark, this horse is inconsistent but looks worth a go to me. His trainer had the winner of this a couple of years ago and has had horses in and around the places in the two runnings since. Indeed, she’s had horses in the top five in each of the four runnings where she’s had runners. Pace-wise it should be set up for one that stays further, which he does, and his sole win came with the addition of first-time headgear, which is switched to a first-time visor today.

A consistent sort in this grade, being 5/7 a place in Class 4s. Better than ever last time; she kept finding when seemingly beaten. The horse in 2nd has come out and repeated that effort since, as a bonus. Up 5 lb from that could curtail her progress, but I like her consistent profile and liked what she found last time, late out for this slightly longer trip. A bigger field should also ensure a sounder gallop here, and she’s towards the bottom of these weights, although they aren’t split by much. She stayed further than 3 miles at Warwick, so perhaps this in-between trip can be the one for her again to follow up.

Up in trip for handicap debut, and based on his latest effort he looks very well handicapped. Finishing behind a horse rated 121 while receiving 7 lbs, the pair had a 122-rated horse well behind. So a mark of 107 looks potentially very lenient. Prior efforts leave something to be desired, so he needs to repeat that effort on ground that might not be to his liking. However, the mark looks good enough to overlook that. With distance in the pedigree, he should appreciate the extra 4 furlongs.

Looks interesting dropped in trip, with his only other run over a shorter trip being first time up for the season when he was entitled to need the run. A forward go that gets further. Both of his wins have come on good ground. Speed figures suggest he’s got the speed to lay up here. If he does go forward, he could get everything his own way out in front with no other pace in the race.

It’s a bit of a wild play here, but this horse wasn’t beaten all that far by the current favourite last time and gets a 9 lb swing in the weights with that horse. She also finished not all that far behind the second favourite previously off level weights, and gets 9 lb from that horse too. The race lacks an out-and-out front runner, and she’s been ridden that way previously. Taken back last time off a break, I’d hope she’s taken forward from stall 4 here and ends up on the front rank, as her last race was just blitzed by the winner off the front end. She looks far too disrespected by her price overall from a good draw towards the bottom end of the weight carries.

Looks weighted to get involved with Murphy aboard, who is 2/2 a place on him. He’s 0/13 on turf but has hit the crossbar a number of times. Never involved at York last time. The time before that he was a decent 2nd, giving 11 lbs to a horse now rated the same as him (95). Horses in behind have done something for that form too. That run was on soft ground, and he’s got a couple of sound efforts on heavy going to his name. 3/5 a place in the cheek pieces, he’s got a sound reappearance record, almost matching a peak RPR of 102 on reappearance last year, whilst finishing close behind Jayarebe as a 3yo. His big-field record is a negative on the face of it, but he has had excuses on almost every occasion. He should be one of the more forward ones from a lowish draw, so hopefully he’ll have some more luck in running here, and the lack of overall pace should help him.

Gets a 9 lb rise in the weights for beating a subsequent winner, and she’s pitched up in class so gets a nice racing weight to lug around here. She made all last time and could be well served in doing so again over this shorter trip at a track where it can pay dividends to go from the front. With no obvious front runner, she could serve it up to them once more despite the hike in the weights. With the yard in form, it’s a first run at the track for the trainers since they’ve joined forces.

A proven thorough stayer on soft/heavy ground. Ben Jones got a fine tune out of the horse at Windsor and reunited with him here. A staying-on 2nd over 3m6 in the Devon National, he’s gone out in some decent races since to rise in the weights. He gets a decent carry down below 11st for this. His only try over 4m was an odd one, where he didn’t jump fluently and was under a drive from a long way out before eventually starting to finish, coming home just 9L 6th, and he finished fast as well. With an extra couple of furlongs he may well have won the Scottish Borders National, and he gets those here. With his trainer having a couple of excellent results at Cheltenham this week, I’ll take her to continue that run.

3/3 here, and gets sent up to 3m having just failed last time at Ascot. Two horses behind did something for the firm at Cheltenham this week, even if the winner didn’t (albeit he ran well for a long way). Second off a big weight on soft ground, he could improve for the surface and gets a nice racing weight to take round this time in a competitive event. He looks worth following again, having just failed for us last time.

With these split by just 12 lbs, it could just go again to a classier horse or the inevitable one with potential. Farfromnowhere sits potentially within both of those characteristics, whilst not being the obvious choice. She reverts from chasing, where she finished behind Kala Conti, who subsequently trounced Kargese, who has roundly franked that form this week. That puts her above a mark of 138 chasing-wise on balance, and whilst beaten since, she is generally a bit hit-and-miss. She wasn’t completely disgraced behind Jade De Grugy, who is 150-rated and went well in the Mares. Over hurdles previously she has beaten Dream On Baby by 5L in September off level weights, with that horse now rated 141. So she could have some wiggle room off this mark of 138 in the right circumstances. Lightly raced for her age, she’s a point winner who likes to run up with the van, and in a race that lacks pace I’d be hoping she isn’t stopping from a decent forward position.

Brings in a sound record, having won 7 of his last 8, including 4 wins on better ground. This is a new trip, but with his dam being by Oscar, there are some stout stayers to lean on in there to think he can cope with it. Rated as high as anything in the race, he gets the steering of a smart jockey in Henry Crow, who is 6/11 for the trainer, and the horse has shown he can handle the track, having previously won here over 2 miles. He won with ease last time despite being left in the lead over the last, producing a fairly devastating finishing kick, so if he does have the stamina for this, hopefully he can use that again.

Barring a mistake at the second last, Grey Dawning was in the process of running a good race last time, and regardless of that error he did stay on well behind Spillane’s Tower. Off just two races, he looks a bit forgotten in the market, for all he’s got a bit to find with the best of these on ratings, albeit not much. That said, the potential for rain today is a positive for him. Grey Dawning’s win at Haydock was so impressive, and on that evidence there’s no reason why he won’t stay this extended trip if his jumping holds up. It can be a bit heart-in-the-mouth stuff with him at times, but in general his jumping has been faultless on his last two starts, barring that late mistake last time. His Aintree second to Gaelic Warrior clearly gives him something to find, but off a two-run campaign versus GW’s three tough races, I’m hoping he’s a bit more set up for this.

A few of these are tied in with 150-rated Doctor Steinberg, and they could all just follow each other home. But I’m going to take a chance on a British runner in Johnny's Jury. He’s the lowest rated in the field, but I think that underestimates him. He beat Pourquoi Pas Papa off a year's break, who is rated 128 and who ran a decent 4th in the Fred Winter. He was giving away almost a stone that day as well, and he hacked up on his most recent start. He’s shaped on both occasions like an extended trip would benefit him, and there’s plenty in his pedigree to suggest as much: a staying-on 3rd on debut over 2½, and he’s got some classy sorts in his family with the likes of Appreciate It and Danny Kirwan.

I like the look of Wilful for this, who finished 2nd last time saddling a big weight. He stayed 2m4 as a novice, and also stayed 2m3 on heavy in a maiden, so he shouldn’t be stopping here as long as he can cope with a small hike in the weights. A consistent sort, he’s been running well for a while now, and the rain around today can aid his chance as he’s 4 from 5 on good to soft. He’s been freshened up nicely and is notably 7/10 to place off breaks longer than 31 days. With most of his wins coming left-handed and a forward-going style, I think there is plenty in his favour for a big run up the hill, with some stamina in his pedigree being a bonus for this stiff finish.

Top of the market looks solid to me in this, and it’s hard to split the pair. Perhaps it could pay to side with the Cheltenham form for the week, with Saratoga finishing behind a pair of these. The more impressive win was perhaps from Highland Crystal, who would have finished a lot further than that horse but for hanging right after the last. That might not prove to be much of a problem here if she does it again. She was also giving 7 lbs away that day, so you can mark up that effort, and she was strong at the finish. She’s rated the same as the favourite and is double the price, and looks too big at double figures on these terms.

Stayed further than this here on good ground a few starts back, and the 7 lb jockey claim takes him down to that same mark. Clearly this is much tougher, but a nice low weight for one that can stay further (in a good time too) piqued my interest. A forward-going type, he could prove hard to peg back off that weight if he’s not outclassed. The yard's Liberty Hunter ran a cracker in the Champion Chase yesterday, which provides some optimism that the string could be in a good place. In a race that lacks overall pace, it could once again prove beneficial to be up there, which this horse should be.

I’m plumping for Lavida Adiva, who qualified by saddling 11st 13lbs behind 13/2 about C’est Different, who was saddling just 10st 3lbs there. The par are pretty much on level terms here. A watch back of that qualifier shows she only blew up late, having travelled strongly into the race, which turned into a bit of a burn-up. She hasn’t disgraced herself since, up in Listed and Graded company, and with just a 3lb higher mark to negotiate she could have the required amount in hand to play a hand in this. She took the scalp of 145-rated Kateira off level weights, before chasing home three that are contesting the Mares Hurdle, whilst her latest effort saw her very tenderly handled late on and she didn’t finish far behind 140+ rated horses in a first-time hood. That comes off here, and I think this has clearly been the target since she snuck in that qualifying run. Second on her only trip here, the biggest concern is she just doesn’t lie up with the pace and has too many to pass, but I’m hopeful she may have enough in hand to land a late blow.

Fact To File is pretty rock solid, as the market suggests, though he has enough of a hit-and-miss profile to go against him. The alternatives are few and far between, but it’s Impair Et Passe that I liked. His jumping can be somewhat sketchy, but the engine underneath him has been evident on plenty of occasions. If he can put in a decent round here, he’s got the class to be involved in the shake-up. He should be suited to a fair pace, which looks likely, and while that could just set it up for the stayers, I just wonder if his finishing kick can come into play, which he showed in abundance last time. Two from two when completing with a 'good' going description, he should be one that isn’t inconvenienced by the top of the ground either.

Ran a stormer on seasonal return, staying on behind a race-fit Impose Toi at Ascot to put up a career-best. All his wins have come left-handed, and whilst he hasn’t won at 3m yet, it’s not for want of trying. Elliot has stated that the further he goes, the better he will be, and the way he stayed at Ascot suggests that will be the case at an even stiffer track. He travels and jumps fluently and keeps his head down, having shown a real ability to dig in when the going gets tough. Bringing a lightly raced profile to the season, he should be nice and fit for this engagement.

Jordan’s Cross looks to have an obvious chance based on his beating of Quebecois over course and distance, who went well on Tuesday. I’m not sure I can have Slade Steel just 6 lbs superior over fences given he’s 31 lbs better over hurdles. Rated the best of these in that discipline, his chase career hasn’t really clicked into gear, but he finds himself off a fair-looking mark for Henry, who hasn’t started his week yet. Joystick didn’t disgrace his form in the Brown Advisory, and a winner at the 2024 Festival can return here and do so once again.

A cracking each-way shape about the race, with the top two taking up a chunk of the market. This horse comfortably beat a fair marker first time up for Mullins, with the third that day 15 lengths back, who has won comfortably since and is now rated 128. The 4yo allowance looks even more tempting as a result, as that form puts her there on ratings anyway, so to get 10 lbs from her older rivals is an interesting bonus that not all 4yos have. Great record in the race. The ground might be against her, but there are some good flat horses in her family that coped with a decent surface, so it’s worth chancing.
