LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): D Skelton (43 wins from 258 runners, 17%) runs LORIKO TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): J Candlish (5 wins from 25 runners, 20%) runs GREER HILL FANCY THAT: D Skelton won this race in 2016, 2018 and 2023. The stable runs LORIKO today. LONGEST TRAVELLER: VINNIE O’NEIL trained by S Allwood, Whitchurch, 144 miles.
One or two of these bring potential, not least Dan Skelton’s LORIKO, who posted a fairly useful effort when runner-up on his hurdling bow at Auteuil in the spring and can make a winning start for new connections. Jamie Snowden’s bumper scorer Tiptoptim is not without interest either now going hurdling and should be in the mix along with De Temps En Temps, Kelijoe and Race To Base.

Dan Skelton’s useful bumper scorer FORTUNE DE MER found the Champion Bumper a step too far but is fancied to make a winning start over hurdles at the chief expense of Olly Murphy’s Kefir d’Oudairies who also brings winning bumper form and no shortage of potential to the table. Wild Goose rates the pick of those with hurdling experience and can claim minor honours.

No shortage of chances despite the small field with C&D winner ROGER POL given the narrow vote. He returned to form when third over C&D 3 weeks ago and any further forecast rain promises to hold no fears for Jamie Snowden’s 7-y-o. Imperial Data is holding his form well for last year’s winning stable and is feared. Wa Wa, Supremely West and Bangor scorer Lipa K aren’t ruled out either
