Verdict

The Greenall/Guerriero yard saddle two strong contenders here in WHITE RHINO and Gaboriot. The latter fared much the best of them in the Grand Sefton last month, but White Rhino was always on the back foot after being hampered at the third fence and is now 4 lb lower in the weights. Mr Vango was progressive last term and is greatly respected, along with Excello and Galia des Liteaux, while Westerninthepark shaped well on return at Carlisle but a strongly-run race at this trip may stretch him.

7	Progressive over hurdles and further steps forward over fences last winter, landing brace of handicaps at around 21f on first 2 starts. Ended that campaign on a downer, but wasn't seen to best effect in the Grand Sefton on return here last month and may yet resume his progress. 1st Pick 7 White Rhino (Ire) Jockey: Craig Nichol Trainer: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero J: Craig Nichol T: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero	98	-	-	-	13%	7/1

13	Unseated rider on first experience over these fences in the 2024 Foxhunters', but he was third in the the Grand Sefton last November and moved up a placing when second in this season's renewal of that big handicap last month. Remains on a fair mark up 2 lb and he's a major player. 2nd Pick 13 Gaboriot (Fr) Jockey: Robert Dunne Trainer: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero J: Robert Dunne T: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero	99	-	-	-	15%	6/1

1	Made up into a smart chaser last term, winning at Sandown on return last December, before following up with a game success in the Peter Marsh at Haydock. Completed the hat-trick in the 4¼m Midlands National when last seen in March and appeals as the type who will take to these unique fences. 3rd Pick 1 Mr Vango (Ire) Jockey: Jack Tudor Trainer: Sara Bradstock J: Jack Tudor T: Sara Bradstock	100	-	-	-	19%	9/2
