2/1

Four-time winner over fences last season and clear of the rest when just touched off at Carlisle (24.5f) on latest start in March. However, 5 lb rise for that efforts means that a clear career-best will be needed if he's to take this.

13/8

Looked a different proposition when opening chase account on debut for this yard in first-time cheekpieces at Plumpton (25.7f) in February. However, that's his sole success from 14 starts in this sphere and he was well held at the same course when last seen in April.

15/8

Hurdles winner in France and though 0-5 over fences on that side of the Channel, he won 3 on the bounce between the flags during the spring. Something of an unknown quantity starting out for new yard here and it will be interesting to see what the market has to say.

Forecasts

Manothepeople (1/1), Len Brennan (13/8), Galop Du Bosc (15/8), Powerful Position (2/1), Favori De Sivola (5/1)

Though MANOTHEPEOPLE is the only one of these without experience over fences, he was a winner of his sole start between the flags in 2020 and progressed well during a light campaign over hurdles last season. He looks every inch a chasing type and is taken to make a successful debut in this sphere. Powerful Position did little wrong last term but he's plenty high enough in the weights now and bigger threats may be posed by Favori de Sivola and multiple point winner Galop du Bosc.
