Verdict
This is wide open but Olly Murphy has his string in excellent nick so his GRANDADS COTTAGE is taken to make a winning return and edge out the hat-trick seeking Flic Ou Voyou. William of York is another who can have a say despite having an absence to overcome, with Marown completing the shortlist.

VerdictUnreliable sort but he signed off last term with success in 2m4f handicap chase at Huntingdon in March. Off 9 months but not ruled out if on his A-game.- 2. Grandads CottageJ: Sean BowenT: Olly MurphyF: 121/03148-

VerdictAdded to his chase tally in a first-time tongue strap at Leicester in January and ended the term with a good eighth of 24 in the Topham at Aintree. Returns with yard in really good nick so he's a likely player.

VerdictWinner of 3 of his half-a-dozen starts switched to fences last term. Yet to fire this season, though, so others appeal more.

VerdictDoubled his tally over fences at Leopardstown (21f) in March 2023 but has struggled since, first run since leaving Noel Meade when pulled up at Haydock 22 days ago. Has plenty to prove.- 5. Flic Ou VoyouJ: Danny McMenaminT: Henry HogarthF: P-43P1d211

VerdictConsistent sort who bids for a hat-trick after 2m4f successes at Newcastle and here this winter. Up 6 lb but he should give another good account from the front. - 6. William Of YorkJ: Ross ChapmanT: Rebecca MenziesF: 1/1253111-

VerdictCompleted a hat-trick over hurdles for Dan Skelton and repeated the feat for his current yard over fences in 2m4f handicap here in April. Yard is going well so this likeable sort must enter calculations on his seasonal return.

VerdictWinless since 2021 but he resumed with a good second of 4 in 2m4f handicap chase here 26 days ago. Visor replaces usual cheekpieces. Place prospects once more.- Unnamed Favourite
