Runners Spotlight

1
Le Milos
Favorite

Landed the Coral Gold Cup in 2022 and bagged a couple of veterans' events last year, the latest comfortably off current mark at Fakenham (3m, good) in May; good chance provided he's back in similar form.

Jockey: Harry SkeltonTrainer: Dan Skelton
2
Gustavian

Made all in notable handicap at Wincanton (3m1f, good; off 8lb lower) in sole start this term, belatedly doubling his chase tally; retains plenty of ability and commands respect back in a veterans' contest.

Jockey: Rex DingleTrainer: Anthony Honeyball
3
Nocte Volatus

Won going away at Warwick (3m, good to soft; career-best performance) in a leg of this series last time, taking chase record to 6-24 and setting him up perfectly for a crack at this final; remains unexposed at this distance; major claims.

Jockey: Stan SheppardTrainer: Tom Lacey
4
Copperhead

Record of 7-27 over fences features a win off this mark in this race 12 months ago when it was moved to Market Rasen (3m, good to soft); possibilities with Cheltenham reappearance under his belt.

Jockey: Brendan PowellTrainer: Joe Tizzard
5
Blackjack Magic

Defied current mark in notable handicap at Wincanton in 2023 but needs a marked turnaround on seasonal debut, having posted form figures of PPP last term; best watched unless the market speaks positively.
