Moderate form to date; fifth of seven at Punchestown last time; others preferred.
4	11 4th (11) (7/2 +68%) Seabloom		3.5 7/2(+68%)																															(11) Seabloom 7/2, Yard won this last year; moderate debut well beaten in a 4yo bumper at Punchestown only start; returning from long layoff; tongue-tie first time; from top yard but might need more time. 15th of 18 in valuable Punchestown bumper 334 days ago; Townend rides Robertjames.

10th	7 10th (7) (125/1 +17%) Leo Messy		125 125/1(+17%)																															(7) Leo Messy 125/1, Modest debut well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Naas only start; all to prove. Always in rear when tailed off at Naas on debut; others preferred.

HE CAN'T DANCE should prove hard to beat here. The Gigginstown gelding has been placed in all five outings over timber, including in handicap company at the Dublin Racing Festival last time. Josh Williamson takes a valuable 5lb off his back, offsetting some of his winners' penalty, and blinkers are applied in an attempt to get him across the line. Gordon Elliott also runs Gunnery Sergeant. He was second in an 'unplaced' maiden hurdle last time and that form doesn't look as strong. A bigger danger may be the Willie Mullins-trained newcomer Robertjames. The Saint Des Saints gelding is a half-brother to a Listed hurdle winner in France.

Placed in all five hurdle starts, HE CAN'T DANCE has been found a nice opportunity to bag a win

12th	4 12th (4) (50/1 -100%) Halla Bil Zain		50 50/1(-100%)																															(4) Halla Bil Zain 50/1, Continues to run well without winning, probably wants a further step up in trip when second beaten 2l in a nursery at Southwell latest; suited by 7f, just about gets 1m, acts on fast ground; mark looks about right.

A half-brother to QEII hero King Of Change and Group 2 winner Century Dream, KING OF EARTH gets the vote. The William Haggas-trained Kingman colt holds a 2000 Guineas entry and made a promising start to his career when second at Newbury in October. Naval Light has been gelded during the off-season and held his own in some hot contests as a juvenile. Firewalker, another son of Kingman with Classic engagements, was a costly failure at Southwell and needs to step forward.

Similar types KING OF EARTH and Firewalker are set for an intriguing clash. Naval Light adds interest.

SHERBORNE had 14 lengths in hand over his nearest rival when scoring at Exeter 12 days ago and Joe Tizzard's gelding is hard to oppose on the back of that performance, despite a 7lb rise. Noahsgreatrainbow hit the crossbar at Doncaster on his most recent outing and may have to settle for second once again, while Limetree Boy is the pick of the remainder.

For all that his recent form figures hardly bode well, MORODER can return to form from out of the blue and he'll love this ground.

LET'S GO MANS remains unexposed and can follow up on his win at Naas early this month. The Cokoriko gelding prevailed in a tight three-way finish and the form looks solid with the other two involved at the business end placed again since. There should be more to come from Gavin Cromwell's charge. The trainer has another contender in Deanery Charlie, who ran a solid race when fourth at Punchestown on his last outing. The Walk In The Park gelding steps up in trip now. Coppola ran well on her first outing for Gordon Elliott when second at Down Royal and is another that has to be on the shortlist.

Up 7lb following a debut handicap victory last time, LET'S GO MANS (nap) can improve again on just his fifth start under rules to win

Ended his 2025 season with sound efforts over C&D and at Redcar; possibilities.

GRABAJABBA finished third in this contest 12 months ago off a 1lb higher mark and the five-year-old, who won on the all-weather at Wolverhampton last month, makes plenty of appeal back on turf. Just Queen High ended 2025 by scoring at Nottingham and is likely to enter calculations after a 5lb rise, while Tactical Plan and Golden Strike can fight it out for the minor honours.

With the visor retained, GOLDEN STRIKE (nap) holds particularly solid claims. Tactical Plan is second choice.

French winner; underwhelming so far in Britain but has undergone a wind operation.
3	13 3rd (13) (5/1 +58%) Gallivanted		5 5/1(+58%)																															(13) Gallivanted 5/1, Travelled, ran to form but possibly challenged too soon 18l third in a 4yo hurdle at Huntingdon most recent run; trainer in form; effective at 2m, acts on soft; in good form in both codes; threat off light weight. Made most at Musselburgh but looks vulnerable on his two efforts either side of that.
4	6 4th (6) (10/1 +9%) The Bellhop		10 10/1(+9%)																															(6) The Bellhop 10/1, Not knocked about when beaten, improved beaten 3l off a 1lb higher mark at Sandown last time; effective 2m, acts on any; yard does well with similar types, bit more to come.

Outstayed by Senator last time on soft; drier ground this time and he's had a wind op.

MUNSIF has caught the eye on multiple occasions over hurdles in recent months and it would be no surprise to see him get off the mark over timber now switched to handicap company. Mojito Des Mottes is another likely to benefit from entering handicaps and he should not be underestimated. Senator (first) and Macshadow Des Crai (second) are closely matched based on their Market Rasen encounter last month and both make the shortlist as a result.

Smart Flat performer MUNSIF (nap) could be seen in a much better light as a jumper now encountering good ground on his handicap debut.

DAIRY FORCE may have gotten bogged down in very testing conditions on his first outing for Gordon Elliott and is worth another shot. He was well backed at Fairyhouse but flattened out going to the second last, where a mistake didn't help. His sole win came on good ground and while there is going to be a cut in it now it's not going to be as deep as last time. Coolboy Christy ran a solid race when fourth at Leopardstown earlier in the month and looks like a leading contender, despite a 3lb rise for that effort. Top-weight Splashing Out has disappointed over fences recently and a switch of tack here might see him play more of a role down in grade.

A switch to handicaps last time at Leopardstown saw COOLBOY CHRISTY put in the best run of his career and he's a big player

STANAGE won a division of this race 12 months ago from a 7lb higher mark and he ended last season with some encouraging efforts in defeat. With that in mind, it would be no surprise to see him repeat that success. Epictetus was only beaten a neck into second over 7f at Chelmsford recently and is likely to be in the mix once again. Others to note are Miletus, Red Mirage and Capital Guarantee.

Dropped back in trip with a tongue-tie fitted, MILETUS is taken to open his handicap account. Stanage is second pick.

Having run out a ready winner at Wincanton earlier this month, Haas Boy must enter calculations in his current vein of form. However, an 8lb hike from the assessor does demand more of the nine-year-old and it could be worth taking a chance on COBBLER'S BOY. Dan Skelton's inmate has crept down the ratings and returning to a sounder surface could see him back in the winner's enclosure. Pure Carbon is the pick of the remainder.

This is trappy but AUTHOCELTIC can be expected to perform better than last time, prior to which he had looked a chaser to follow.

LOUGH NIGARA has progressed really well recently and might defy top weight. Although he can often give trouble at the start, the selection is ideally suited by testing ground and staying distances. Despite racing from a career-high mark, the nine-year-old holds John Storey, Bergamasquo and Take Stock on encounters this season. Kanog Bay had been progressive prior to pulling up at Thurles last month, where he showed signs of delayed recovery post race, and is now tried in a first-time tongue-tie. Themanintheboots was well held in a recent claimer but had scored at Navan last November.

Often reluctant to race, LOUGH NIGARA is a quirky sort but is in wonderful form. He may be capable of defying a career high mark

Ashnak was a useful performer in France and has to be noted on his debut for these connections. That said, HARVEY caught the eye when third over a mile at Kempton recently and this unexposed four-year-old may improve significantly now stepped up in trip. Port Of London represents top connections and should not be underestimated, while Atherstone Warrior edges out Castle Stuart and Spioradalta to be next best.

Port Of London, Spoken Truth and Harvey are shortlisted but SAY WHAT YOU SEE should go very well if he's fit.

With five defeats to her name this season, HARD DEALT has proved expensive to follow. Although a 3lb higher mark for her latest second at Haydock will only make life tougher for Henry Daly's mare, she is unexposed over this sort of trip and could be poised to repay her supporters. Kilworth was too bad to be true when pulled up at Plumpton 34 days ago and better is expected over this longer distance. Handicap debutant Joyau Allen is a feasible alternative.

Hard Dealt and Kilworth produced their best form at this sort of trip but may prove vulnerable to handicap newcomer JOYAU ALLEN.

UNCLE PAT hasn't won since landing his maiden hurdle in September 2024 but ran well in the valuable Grand National Trial last month. A ground-versatile stayer, the selection was raised 2lb following his Punchestown run but a reproduction would see him involved at the business end. Jack Kennedy rides St Denis's Well, who bumped into a well-in rival over hurdles at Navan last month and stays well, while Slanagaibhgoleir tries this staying distance for the first time over fences and ran well last time.

A maiden over fences, UNCLE PAT has good prospects of making the breakthrough after finishing second in the Grand National Trial

MORBEH appeared to have plenty in hand when winning on his handicap debut at Lingfield in January and Roger Varian's gelding merits plenty of respect off a 5lb higher mark here. Siam Ruby won at the second time of asking in a maiden at the same venue when last seen and she has to be respected off an opening mark of 72. Arc Ole Ole and Only In Manila also merit consideration.

Back and forth occurred in attempting to come up with a selection. MORBEH is rather tentatively preferred, ahead of Siam Ruby.

Having only been collared by reopposing winner Copperhead at Newbury 29 days ago, GABBYS CROSS is taken to exact his revenge. The 11-year-old should relish a drop back in distance and the booking of champion jockey Sean Bowen catches the eye. Certainly Red returned from a 455-day layoff with a very respectable third at Sandown earlier this month and he may serve the most resistance to the selection.

This has the potential to be a fine scrap, despite only the four declarations, but COPPERHEAD may follow up his Newbury win.

DEE'S LADY debuts over fences but scored over hurdles last time and is helped by receiving a 7lb mares' allowance in this restricted contest. From a fine French family and out of a half-sister to high-class Madison Du Berlais, the selection was a 150,000-euro purchase as a three-year-old and, having generally shown useful form, can build on her recent Leopardstown success, especially with conditions in her favour. Strutter was too fresh and keen on his recent reappearance run but it is encouraging Paul Townend takes the ride on him. Race-fit Karafon is rated 120 and is expected to be in the mix.

It seems safe to assume that STRUTTER failed to do himself justice at Leopardstown on his chasing debut. He may make amends now

C&D win last July was followed by two solid efforts; still has low mileage; interesting.
4	4 (4) (9/1 -13%) Dark Thirty		9 9/1(-13%)																															(4) Dark Thirty 9/1, Won this last year off 4lb lower; struggled in this beaten 7l in a handicap at Ayr last time; enjoys making it; effective 6f, acts on soft, good to firm; unreliable and mark looks stiff.

Having ended his three-year-old campaign with a head second at Newmarket, it could be worth chancing SIXTYGEESBABY in an open contest. Now under the tutelage of David O'Meara, the son of Starspangledbanner has a fine record fresh and he may be able to defy a 2lb rise in the ratings. Territorial Knight was last seen finishing a good fifth in the Ayr Bronze Cup in September and he must enter the reckoning, along with fellow C&D winners Fine Interview and Lord Bertie.

A cracking race in which the unexposed SIXTYGEESBABY can make a winning stable debut. Territorial Knight is feared most.

Dramatic Encore looked inconvenienced by a drop back in distance when landing the spoils in a four-runner affair at Plumpton recently and she merits respect in her follow-up bid. Although a return to an extended 2m5f should suit, a rise in class does demand more of the six-year-old, and BRAVE KNIGHT is more compelling. Paul Nicholls' charge got the better of a subsequent winner at Taunton 80 days ago and a 5lb higher mark looks surmountable. Ludlow scorer Royal Way is also worth a second look.

Whatsupwithyou is interesting on this return to the scene of his December win but ROYAL WAY finished well on top ten days ago.

MAGIC SADLER is a nine-time point-to-point winner who has good recent form. He has contested just four previous hunter chases, finishing second twice and also unseating rider at Thurles in January but should take all the beating being a dependable performer. Cause For Comment has finished second in both his hunter chase appearances and while he won a recent maiden point-to-point, lacks the selection's experience. West Of Idaho steps up in grade having won twice between the flags recently and can enter the reckoning.

This may boil down to a match. Magic Sadler is a prolific winner in points but slight preference is for CAUSE FOR COMMENT

Juan Les Pins supplemented a close second at Newcastle when getting up to win at that same track 10 days ago. The nine-year-old has five turf victories to his name and merits respect in his follow-up bid, but CHARLIE MASON shades the verdict. Tony Carroll's gelding arrives on the back of a good runner-up effort at Wolverhampton and he won't mind any cut in the ground. Our Absent Friends and Ay Gee Ell are other race-fit rivals to consider.

Emperor Caradoc and Fuji Mountain can feature but CHARLIE MASON returns to the scene of his last win and earns the vote.
