⭐ Main Contenders
All Inn HandUnexposed
Won on chasing debut last June, showing strong promise despite the long absence. The 4lb rise is fair, but fitness and readiness on return is key. A major player if tuned up.
He Knows BetterConsistent Type
Good third in a tougher Class 3 handicap chase at Newbury; runs well under pressure. Solid form and consistency make this horse a reliable contender for the frame.
Dixie MafiaProgressive
Respectable efforts in handicap hurdles, with a dual points-winning background. Potential to improve over fences, making this one to watch for progress in chasing.
⚠️ Next Best / Dangers
Solly AttwellReturn to Form
Currently out of form, but a return to better ground could spark improvement. Would need to show resurgence to be competitive here.
Celestial FashionMixed Form
Disappointing last at Carlisle suggests a handicap mark has caught up with her. Unlikely to threaten the top without significant improvement.
