Chinese Whispers
Favorite

35,000euros 3yo; seventh foal; half-brother to winners Range (useful 2m3f/2m4f hurdle/chase) and Whatsinaname (point); dam bumper and 2m-2m4f hurdle/chase winner; could easily run well with Harry Cobden taking the reins.

Country Pursuits

With Brian Hughes booked he went off only 15-2 for a soft-ground bumper at Doncaster but was in trouble a long way out and finished last; this surface may be more preferable.

Jockey: Charlie ToddTrainer: Ian Williams
3
Earl Chester

A tailed-off last here in December when sent off at 200-1.

Jockey: Mr Joseph Stevenson(7)Trainer: Derek Frankland
4
Jetaway Holiday

Stable won this in 2019 with the high-class Chantry House; this gelding was bought for £65,000 after beating one other finisher in a fast-ground 2m4f maiden point at Eyton last May; tongue-tie fitted; commands respect.

Jockey: Nico de BoinvilleTrainer: Nicky Henderson
5
Merry Away

Recruited for £72,000 after finishing third in an Irish point in November (3m, yielding); that form has yet to be put under the miscroscope but he should have a future given the yard he's joined.

Jockey: Ben JonesTrainer: Ben Pauling
