12/1

Sole previous visit here resulted in a career-best display to land a 17-runner handicap (20.4f, soft) at the big meeting last August. Signed 2023 campaign off with a decent effort at Kempton and while he's yet to score off a mark this high, he will be a threat if fully tuned-up.

11/2

Improved performer in 2022, successful in a C&D handicap and fine second in the Cesarewitch during that campaign. Largely below par last season but he was a solid third at Kempton when last seen in December and this 6-y-o needs considering.

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: L Morris| T: Sir Mark Prescott| OR: 85| D

11/2

Raised his game in 2023, winning 3 times at up to 2m. Encouraging start to this season when third of 9 at Southwell (16.5f) and, still unexposed at this trip, he has to enter calculations.

10/1

Made good strides last season, hitting the target on 5 occasions before following Temporize home over a marathon trip at the big meeting here in August. Placed both starts since returning to action last month and there's no reason to think he won't be competitive once more.

5/1

Heavy-ground novice winner last spring and underlined how well he copes with testing ground when second in 2¼m Pontefract handicap on reappearance. Another good effort when third over this C&D (soft) last time and claims if able to reproduce that form on what is likely to be a faster surface.

Manxman^v²¹

Age: 4| Weight: 9-3| J: R Havlin| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 80| D

9/2

Prolific in handicaps last season, winning 5 of his 6 starts, and he went down narrowly in a 5-runner handicap here (1¾m, heavy) on return 3 weeks ago. Entitled to come on for that and record over 2m+ stands at 3-3.

Havaila²⁰

5/2

Won over hurdles at Sandown (2½m, heavy) for Anthony Charlton in January. First run since leaving that yard when runner-up over this C&D (soft) last time and he's a big player with William Buick booked.

Havaila (5/2), Manxman (9/2), Maxident (5/1), Pledgeofallegiance (11/2), Vino Victrix (11/2), Plus Point (8/1), Robert Johnson (10/1), Yorkindness (10/1), Temporize (12/1), Hurtle Wallop (50/1)

With William Buick booked HAVAILA makes plenty of appeal on his second start for the yard responsible for two of the last four winners of this race. He had two of these rivals (Maxident and Plus Point) behind when going close over C&D last time and a 2 lb nudge for that near miss is fair enough. Temporize enjoyed his finest hour to date here last summer and he has to enter calculations, while Manxman and Pledgeofallegiance are others to consider.
