⭐ Main Contenders
Move With The BeatIn-Form
Held on gamely at Wincanton last time with tongue-tie applied for the first time, now 4lb higher but continuing an upward trajectory in form making him a likely front-runner here.
Two To TangoConsistent Type
Reliable and consistent 8yo who won recently at Stratford and runs off just 4lb higher; course experience and solid recent performances make him a strong contender.
Roger RarebitConsistent Type
A proven competitor at this track with a C&D win to his name, this seasoned 9yo is expected to give another good account with consistent form at this level.
Claim Du BrizaisReturn to Form
Still seeking a first win over fences but showed his best form with a close fourth over C&D recently, indicating potential for a forward showing if building on that.
Moonshine ManProgressive
Yet to win over fences but demonstrated hurdling ability and looks to be getting close to switching form around in this sphere; capable of improving again.
⚠️ Next Best / Dangers
Sleeping SatelliteStrong Finisher
Fifth at Kelso in a higher-grade event, he faded late but should be more competitive here and could make late headway if the pace is strong.
Caterpillar GirlUnexposed
Promising course bumper winner yet to prove herself over fences or in handicap company; potential for improvement but currently carries some risk.
❌ Outsiders / Weak Profiles
BahtiyarMixed Form
Out of the weights and winless in 32 starts, this veteran clearly struggles to compete at this level currently and looks to be no better than a long shot.

- Two To Tango and Roger Rarebit bring solid, consistent course and distance form.
- Moonshine Man and Claim Du Brizais could improve chasing and offer interesting angles.
