Verdict

With the promise of better to come from this 7-y-o over fences, AVIATION earns the vote. He left his reappearance/chase debut a long way behind when going close at Newbury and this stiffer test should be in his favour. Gericault Roque hasn't been seen much in recent years but he's slipped to a dangerous mark and looks a strong candidate with Harry Cobden booked, while Westerninthepark is also greatly respected back at a more suitable trip.

7	Made up into a fairly useful winning hurdler last term and has shaped with promise on back of a wind op this term, second of 9 in a Newbury handicap chase (19.8f, good to soft) last time. Remains open to improvement and he's a must for the shortlist. 1st Pick 7 Aviation (Ire) Jockey: Tom Cannon Trainer: Lucy Wadham J: Tom Cannon T: Lucy Wadham	93	-	-	-	17%

3	Boasts some solid form in this sphere, not least his cracking second of 24 in the Ultima at the 2022 Cheltenham Festival. Proved that ability remains intact in 2 runs following a monster absence last term and interesting on this seasonal reappearance with Harry Cobden booked. 2nd Pick 3 Gericault Roque (Fr) Jockey: Harry Cobden Trainer: David Pipe J: Harry Cobden T: David Pipe	100	-	-	-	10%

2	Bumper/dual-hurdles winner who made a successful start in this sphere at Stratford last season. Largely creditable efforts in defeat thereafter and he's of strong interest back down in trip here having found 3¼m too much of a test at Carlisle and Aintree on his 2 starts so far this season. 3rd Pick 2 Westerninthepark (Ire) Jockey: Sean Bowen Trainer: Olly Murphy J: Sean Bowen T: Olly Murphy	93	-	-	-	20%
