5	Ice In The Veins Grey J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	J:Harry Skelton T:Dan Skelton	163	h	11749-	115	-	-	42d	—	—	-4	33	0.38/1	6/4 40%
Made all in two novice hurdles (2m, 2m3f); pace rivalry if returning to those tactics.
3	Is This For Real Bay J:Liam Harrison T:Fergal O'Brien	J:Liam Harrison T:Fergal O'Brien	166	—	441P1-	118	-	-	42d	—	—	+16	37.1	0.69/1	11/4 27%
Okay mark for chasing/handicap debut; not wholly wedded to recent assertive tactics.
4	Park Annonciade Bay J:Richie McLernon T:Sarah Humphrey	J:Richie McLernon T:Sarah Humphrey	165	t	P3212-	117	125	114	27d	—	—	+23	35.2	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Made most at Huntingdon last month (2m, good) and backed that up latest; rivals for lead.
6	Hudson Grey J:James Bowen T:Mickey Bowen	J:James Bowen T:Mickey Bowen	156	—	43247-	108	-	-	120d	—	—	+10	21	1.75/1	7/1 13%
Trip to blame for backwards step last time; not an obvious one for chasing on pedigree.
7	King Ulanda Bay J:Toby Wynne T:Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero	J:Toby Wynne T:Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero	156	tp	42PF6-	108	-	-	42d	—	—	+8	17.2	2.13/1	17/2 11%
Another hurdles win last autumn (2m1f, good), but two flops and a fall more recently.

Claiming hurdle win in March (1m7f, good); didn't last out on the Flat since; chase debut.
NR	Nibras Gold Bay J:Stan Sheppard T:James Owen	J:Stan Sheppard T:James Owen	168	p	05/39-	120	123	-	231d	—	—	—	17.5	—	—
Bountiful Flat/hurdles campaign last summer; two chasing seconds in 2024; goes well fresh.
