Verdict
ANNSAM has been stuffed over hurdles this term but he returns to chasing on a winning mark at a track that suits, so could be worth chancing. Progressive pair In d'Or and Rockinastorm are obvious threats.

VerdictWinless over hurdles but quickly set the record straight over fences last term, gaining a third victory at Ludlow (23.8f) in February. Improved again this season, winning last 2 starts at Ludlow and Wetherby, jumping well from the front. Likely to make another bold bid. - 5. In DorJ: Mr David MaxwellT: Venetia WilliamsF: 3/5312-01

VerdictFrench-import who was a wide-margin winner of a handicap hurdle at Ludlow in March. Improved for the switch to fences when making a winning return at Taunton and has more to come in this sphere.

VerdictResumed winning ways at Fontwell in November and backed it up with a solid third of 10 in handicap chase at Sandown (28.7f, soft) 6 weeks ago. Ought to be thereabouts off the same mark.- 1. AnnsamJ: Adam WedgeT: Evan WilliamsF: 861710/0P

VerdictScottish National/bet 365 Gold Cup hero in 2022/23 and an excellent fifth in Grand National last term. Well held all 4 runs so far this season, though, and others appeal more on this occasion. Headgear re-fitted.- Unnamed Favourite

VerdictDeveloped into a useful chaser in 2021/22. Seen out only twice since (well held both times), however, and has another lengthy absence to overcome.
