Arthur's Quay (Ire)

Age: 12
Weight: 10st 11lbs
Or: 113

Veteran who won at Newcastle in February 2025. Went close to another victory there in October but has been below par since. Might need this, but is a well treated C&D winner and can't be fully ruled out.

Sean Og (Ire)

Age: 8
Weight: 9st 13lbs
Or: 104

Three-time C&D winner, with the latest in handicap chase last summer. Step back in right direction when fourth of 13 in similar event at Carlisle (2½m, good) in March. Will appreciate the return to this course though may find it tougher from 3 Ib out of the handicap.

Pour Les Filles

Won at the first time of asking over fences at Ffos Las in January. Held back by inexperience when well held in Topham Handicap Chase at Aintree (21f, good to soft) in April. Cheekpieces back on. Back down in class but needs to brush up on his jumping.

Pony Soprano (Ire)

Age: 7
Weight: 11st 8lbs
Or: 124

In first-time tongue strap and cheekpieces, career best when winning 8-runner handicap chase at Uttoxeter (21f, good, 5/2) 23 days ago. Up 7 Ib for that success and chance is there for all to see for powerful connections.

Timeform Verdict

It's hard to ignore the claims of PONY SOPRANO and he gets the nod to follow up his recent success. The veteran Arthur's Quay has dropped to a handy mark and can chase him home.
