Fidelio Vallis334
Age: 9|  Weight: 12-1| J: Miss Megan Fox(7)| T: Harry Derham| OR:  146
5/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap chase at Musselburgh (20.3f, soft), running on. Off 11 months. Still unexposed for this stable and should be well prepared for this.

Le Milos35
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-13| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR:  144| C
Big improver over fences for this yard in 2022/23, including victory in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury. Disappointing last season but on a handy mark and should come on for reappearance at Cheltenham a month ago.

Twinjets23
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-7| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR:  138
Multiple bumper/hurdles winner who found improvement when making a successful debut for Paul Nicholls over fences at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) last December. Back on track here last time and should put up another bold showing.

Inch Houset224
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-5| J: Freddie Gingell(3)| T: P F Nicholls| OR:  136| CD
Lightly-raced winner over hurdles who has progressed well for switch to chasing, landing back-to-back handicaps here prior to a solid second at Cheltenham (25.2f). Disappointed subsequently but has joined Paul Nicholls (from Jonjo O'Neill) and top claimer takes the ride. Deserves respect.

Highstakesplayer28
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-5| J: Stan Sheppard| T: T Lacey| OR:  136
Likeable sort who made it 4-5 over fences in 3m handicap chase at Kempton in April. Solid reappearance when second at Ascot and should be able to make his presence felt again.

Genois29
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-3| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.| T: J & A O'Neill| OR:  134
Useful hurdler/chaser at his best for Enda Bolger in Ireland. Opened his account for this yard in ready fashion at Wetherby last month but jumping might not hold up in this more competitive environment.

Imperil195
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-3| J: J M Quinlan| T: N P Littmoden| OR:  134| D
Useful chaser in France. Bit below form 35¾ lengths seventh of 13 to Gran Diose in Grand Steeple-Chase de Paris at Auteuil (29.8f, soft, 26/1). Off 6 months since but potentially well in on best form.

Farceur Du Large210
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-1| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR:  132| D
Useful at best in Ireland and won first two starts over fences for this stable earlier this year. Not in same form when last seen 7 months ago but shouldn't be written off.

Sizable Samp668
Age: 9|  Weight: 10-11| J: Lorcan Williams| T: J Scott| OR:  128
Three-time winning hurdler who was last seen landing a 4-runner novice chase at Exeter. That was 22 months ago, however, so hard to know what level of ability he retains.

Demnat231
Age: 7|  Weight: 10-10| J: Charlie Deutsch| T: Miss V Williams| OR:  127
Made light of a 32-month absence on his yard debut when easily landing 5-runner handicap chase at Ludlow (20f, soft) in February. Didn't fire subsequently but back in trip and fresh could be the time to catch him with stable going well.

Exeter winner last November but off since being pulled up in 3m handicap hurdle at Cheltenham in April. Needs to get back on track returned to chasing.

Forecasts

Genois (4/1), Le Milos (5/1), Highstakesplayer (5/1), Demnat (7/1), Twinjets (8/1), Inch House (10/1), Farceur Du Large (10/1), Fidelio Vallis (12/1), Wiseguy (12/1), Imperil (14/1), Sizable Sam (16/1)

Verdict

TWINJETS was right back on track when runner-up here last time and may yet have more to offer for Paul Nicholls, so he gets the marginal vote over Highstakesplayer, who filled the same position at Ascot on his latest outing. Demnat is worthy of interest back fresh for an in-form stable.
