Irish-raider LE COQ HARDI has yet to win a race over fences but his fourth-place finish in the Kerry National in September looks to be a strong piece of handicap form. He gets the vote in what is a wide-open contest, with The Changing Man and Henry's Friend just a couple of potential threats.

    Verdict
    Race rather fell apart when finally off the mark over fences in 4-runner Grade 2 over C&D in February. Matched that form when finding only a handicap blot too good in the Ultima a month later and not judged too harshly on a heavy defeat in the Grade 1 Mildmay final start.

    Verdict
    Better than ever when resuming winning ways at Newbury (26f) over Christmas before finding revised mark beyond him in a brace of high-end spring handicaps, latterly the Scottish National. Return to this trip in his favour on reappearance.

    Verdict
    Winning hurdler who improved over fences in 2023/24, winning the Grade 2 Pendil at Kempton. Found to be lame when last of 5 in Aintree Grade 1 on final start that season and not at the top of his game both starts in 2025. Since undergone breathing surgery and now goes up in distance.

    Verdict
    Made successful start over fences in 4-runner novices handicap at this meeting a year ago (18.8f). Added to his tally at Newbury in March and while he's posted several underwhelming effort along the way, his third-place finish at Market Rasen in cheekpieces was a sound run.

    Verdict
    Bumper/hurdles winner who has been in fine form over larger obstacles in recent months, resuming winning ways at Cartmel (25.5f) in August prior to emphatically following up at Uttoxeter (3m). Improved again despite coming up just short in his hat-trick bid at Kelso.

    Verdict
    Scored five time over fences (at up to 23f) last season and in good nick this term too, placed all 4 starts, most recently when second at Chepstow 3 weeks ago. Fit and in form so he's on the shortlist from the same mark.

    Failed to score last term but some good efforts in defeat and made an eye-catching start to the new season when fourth at Worcester, finished with running left over an inadequate trip. Bit disappointing then that he didn't show more upped to 26.2f at Kelso a week ago.

    Verdict
    Unreliable on the whole but smart form when runner-up in this race in 2023. Sound fourth in this a year ago and restricted to just 2 runs after, finishing second in veterans' event back over this C&D in March. Rising 13 now and others more persuasive.
