Runners Spotlight

1
Crac De Megaudais
Favorite

Winning hurdler on this card 12 months ago who didn't run too badly at all when an 11l third on chase debut at Newton Abbot (2m, good) last May, but has struggled in two runs after a break and bled last time; capable of running well if the wheels stay on this time.

Jockey: Robert DunneTrainer: Tom Gretton
2
Uncle Al

Only real effort of note over fences was the narrow win at Sedgefield (2m5f, soft; first-time cheekpieces); would have a chance if he did repeat that form.

Jockey: Aaron Anderson(5)Trainer: Jessica Bedi
3
Imperial Pride

Won three consecutive points in the spring of 2024; has pulled up in two handicap chases since returning from an absence and hard to be at all confident.

Jockey: Tom BellamyTrainer: David Dennis
4
Three Zambezi's

Uncompetitive in his handicaps over hurdles but was runner-up in a point and could be better over fences.

Jockey: Jack TudorTrainer: Christian Williams
5
Honneur De Sivola

A four-time runner-up over fences but still a maiden under rules and his two runs after wind surgery leave him with much to prove; tried this headgear combination last time.
