TIGER ORCHID is 5lb lower than when winning a stronger race at Worcester in June of 2024 and is dangerous to rule out if he can recapture his best form. GOLD EMERY is still in search of a first win over fences but has placed numerous times and could emerge as the biggest threat.

Tips: TIGER ORCHID & GOLD EMERY

ALKASIB was by far the best of these on the Flat and shaped promisingly when runner-up on hurdles debut at Wetherby over Christmas. The six-year-old looks poised to improve, especially stepping up in distance, so Donald McCain’s charge might be able to outclass his opponents.

Tips: ALKASIB

I really liked the way POWEROFJET got the job done at Newcastle when last spotted and a 7lb rise shouldn’t be anchor towards him potentially going in again. That latest success was just his second start in this sphere, so he surely has more to offer and is the one to beat.

Tips: POWEROFJET

An extremely competitive look to this contest with the vote going to AS FAST AS WIND. She remains 6lb above her last winning mark but she ought to be thereabouts. INFERNO SACREE is 8lb lower than when he last got his head in front and has placed on his last four starts, so he’s very much one to consider.

Tips: AS FAST AS WIND & INFERNO SACREE

Having bolted up at Wetherby last month, it is difficult to oppose WOLFBURG. The handicapper has only put him up 6lb for that emphatic 9-length victory, which I don’t think will be enough to stop him from doubling his tally over timber. He is the best bet on the card.

Tips: WOLFBURG

RUKAANA got off the mark in really good style at Windsor three weeks ago and that should be the catalyst for further success. His stable has also begun to hit a nice bit of form, so with more to come, the five-year-old should be in the mix.
