Verdict
FAMOSO is proving a reliable sort and can gain a deserved victory here off an easing mark in a contest where many arrive with something to prove. Nevendon could emerge as the main threat back in this sphere after a recent Flat run, with Jaitroplaclasse also worthy of consideration after a break.

VerdictBumper winner for Stuart Crawford in 2021 but lightly-raced since and little to shout about for Henry Hogarth, pulled up on his chasing bow at Market Rasen last time. Needs this yard switch to spark major improvement. Watch the betting.- 6. JaitroplaclasseJ: Charlie PriceT: Robbie LlewellynF: 466/034-

VerdictLightly raced for Nicky Henderson. Solid chasing handicap third at Bangor for his new yard in February but beat only one in similar company at Huntingdon following month. Worth another chance after a break.

VerdictA three-time winner last season, latest at Ludlow in December, and comes here on the back of a solid second of 3 in handicap chase at Newton Abbot (16.3f, good) 37 days ago. A player off an easing mark.

VerdictOn a long losing sequence and he came in a below-form fourth of 7 in handicap chase at Hereford (20.9f, good) 25 days ago. Others appeal more.- 3. NevendonJ: Sam Twiston-DaviesT: Alexandra DunnF: P/24P2123-

VerdictGot off the mark over fences at Southwell in October but a below-par third at Plumpton on his last run in this sphere. Should be fitter for a recent Flat run though so not ruled out. - Unnamed Favourite
