Verdict

Lots with chances but it could pay to side with HOMBRE DE GUERRA to capitalise on a lenient-looking mark on his return with his yard back among the winners of late. Recent Sedgefield scorer Tanking Along could emerge as the main danger, although chasing debutant Minella Marathon and in-form Lermoos Legend can also play a prominent role.

1	Dual 2m chase winner at Ayr in 2024/25. Ended his time with Nick Alexander below par but much better signs for new yard with third of 9 in handicap chase back at Ayr (2½m, soft) in April, faring best of those held up. Not without interest off a handy-looking mark on his reappearance. 1st Pick 1 Hombre De Guerra (Ire) Jockey: Patrick Wadge Trainer: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore J: Patrick Wadge T: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore	95	-	-	-	10%

5	Enthusiastic front runner who doubled his tally over fences in 4-runner handicap at Sedgefield (21f, good) 16 days ago, closed down late having gone clear after 2 out. Up 4 lb but likely capable of better still for yard enjoying a purple patch. 2nd Pick 5 Tanking Along (Ire) Jockey: Brian Hughes Trainer: Patrick Neville J: Brian Hughes T: Patrick Neville	99	-	-	-	25%

3	Fetched £200,000 after winning a point and made a successful hurdling debut at Lingfield (19.5f) in November. Failed to build on that in novices at Cheltenham and Ascot (tongue tied) subsequently but has since had a breathing operation and rates an interesting chasing debutant. 3rd Pick 3 Minella Marathon Jockey: Harry Skelton Trainer: Dan Skelton J: Harry Skelton T: Dan Skelton	98	-	-	-	20%
