10/3

Looked an exciting chasing prospect when successful at Fairyhouse and Punchestown (Grade 2) last winter. Subsequently sold out of Gordon Elliott's yard for 320,000 euros but pulled up on yard debut in Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham before shaping like a non-stayer at Haydock. This easier.

Form: 3/114-P5

9/4

Made a fine start over fences last season, winning 3 times. Struggled for form at start of current campaign but back with a bang when scoring at Haydock under this rider last month. Should remain competitive up 6 lb.

Form: 3-64PU1

El Elefante²⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: P W Wadge| T: Miss Lucinda V Russell| OR: 133

4/1

Fairly useful hurdler who made a winning start to her chasing career in 2½m Worcester novice on return in October. Built on that at the third attempt when making all at Ayr last month and remains unexposed as a chaser.

Form: F4-1361

Ned Tanner^p,t²⁷

Age: 9| Weight: 10-4| J: Danny McMenamin| T: N W Alexander| OR: 118| C

15/8

Dual chase winner here as a novice. Progress stalled last season but back on track fitted with headgear/tongue tie when scoring at Haydock and backed that up with good second there 4 weeks ago, clear of rest. Respected up in class.

Form: 32-4512

Forecasts

Ned Tanner (15/8), Prairie Wolf (9/4), Imagine (10/3), El Elefante (4/1)

PRAIRIE WOLF was back to his best when successful at Haydock under this rider last month and appeals as the most solid option. El Elefante may get an uncontested lead here and rates the main threat having resumed progress/winning ways at Ayr last month.
