Little to choose between these 3 but FIREFOX appeals as the most solid option with James du Berlais not the most straightforward and Iroko possibly having one eye on the future.

VerdictMartin Pipe winner at the 2023 Cheltenham Festival and has developed into a very smart chaser, ending last season with a fine fourth of 34 in the Grand National at Aintree. Made a respectable return at Haydock and receives 3 lb from his rivals, though this trip looks short of his optimum. - 2. James Du BerlaisJ: J. J. SlevinT: W. P. Mullins, IrelandF: 2/F3055-16

VerdictProduced a career best to land a 2½m handicap at the Punchestown Festival in April before out of his depth in Grade 1 there on return. Quirky, but can get back on track returned to calmer waters. - Unnamed Favourite
