Verdict

LE MILOS produced easily his most encouraging effort of the present campaign when runner-up at Sandown 5 weeks ago and now refitted with cheekpieces he's taken to build on that and make a bold bid to land this for the second season running. Top weight Knappers Hill rates a big danger with this drop back in trip a plus. Guard Your Dreams and Grandeur d'Ame aren't out of things, either.

2	Landed this race 12 months ago and tasted success in similar company at Fakenham (24.2f) in May. Low-key efforts first 3 starts back this campaign but big step back in right direction when runner-up in veterans' handicap at Sandown (24.2f) 5 weeks ago. Well in the mix again in refitted cheekpieces. 1st Pick 2 Le Milos Jockey: Harry Atkins Trainer: Dan Skelton J: Harry Atkins T: Dan Skelton	97	-	-	-	34%

1	Smart, prolific winning hurdler who landed a Grade 2 novice on second chase start at Wincanton (20.1f) in November 2023. Off 2 years but confirmed he retains a useful level of form this term, looking stretched by the trip when third in Rowland Meyrick on Boxing Day. This rates more suitable. 2nd Pick 1 Knappers Hill (Ire) Jockey: Freddie Gingell Trainer: Paul Nicholls J: Freddie Gingell T: Paul Nicholls	100	-	-	-	19%

5	Smart hurdler at his best who made a winning return/chase debut over C&D last winter. Largely kept good company thereafter and he ran well when runner-up in handicap chase at Uttoxeter (3m) when last seen in May. Solid record fresh and one to consider. 3rd Pick 5 Guard Your Dreams Jockey: Toby Mccain-Mitchell Trainer: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies J: Toby Mccain-Mitchell T: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies	99	-	-	-	29%
