Verdict

TRAPRAIN LAW quickly developed into a useful chaser last season, pressing the leader a long way out when runner-up at Ayr in April, and he is taken to make a winning return with more still to offer over fences. He can reverse the form with Tommy's Oscar from when the pair met at Ayr, with Fringill Dike also in the mix.

Very smart chaser who made a winning return in this race last year. Continued in decent heart over fences during the rest of the campaign, producing a career-best when getting the better of Traprain Law at Ayr in April. Not taken lightly.

Verdict
Three-time winner in 2022/23 but failed to make an impact on his first 3 outings last season. However, there were better signs when third at Doncaster on his final 2 starts and he's now dropped below his last winning mark. Not discounted on return.

Verdict
Quickly made up into a better chaser than hurdler last season, successful on his first 3 starts over fences. Added to his tally at Bangor in May and left behind a lesser over hurdles when a wide-margin winner at Newton Abbot last time. Respected.

Verdict
Enjoyed a promising campaign sent chasing last season, off the mark at the second attempt when scoring easily at this C&D in December. Doubled his tally at Ayr in February before shaping well when runnner-up back there in April. Major player.

Verdict
Having left Gordon Elliott, made a winning stable/chase debut at Huntingdon in Janaury and left behind a poor run when successful at Plumpton in March. However, added to his all-or-nothing record over fences when well held at Bangor on latest outing.

Verdict
Three-time winner last season, returning to form when scoring at Hereford in January. Failed to repeat that effort next time, though bounced back to his best when getting up late over C&D in May. This is tougher but he returns with yard going well.

Verdict
Has created a good impression sent chasing, landing handicaps at Hexham and Bangor this summer. Lost his unbeaten record over fences but still shaped well when third at Uttoxeter in June. More required, though it remains early days for him in this sphere.

Verdict
Opened account in this sphere at Exeter in December. Below-par effort next time but has been shaping up well since, travelling better than most when fourth of 11 at Bangor on her latest outing in May. Has something to find from 8 lb out of the weights.
