Fat Harry

Much better when a well-backed winner on chase/seasonal debut at Sedgefield (2m3f, good) in November and he followed up with another improved effort to win at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft; made most) eight days later; up another 7lb today but he was much too strong for his rivals last time.

Fete Champetre

His jumping can be an issue but he was in front when falling two out at Ayr (2m4f, soft) in March and runs off the same mark today; failed to stay 3m in May when last seen; can go well fresh and is not discounted.

Trac

Six-time chase winner (2m-2m5f, good-heavy; including here) who went close on reappearance at Kelso (2m1f, good) in October; disappointing there since but could be in the shake-up if first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) have a positive effect.
