Formscan  - Micky Hammond trained the winner of this race in 2024 and has chances once more here with Beat The Edge, who has won twice off higher marks and tries a first-time hood. ILOT DE L'ISLE makes his chasing debut having failed to sparkle over hurdles since arriving from France, and a mark of 95 looks generous if he takes to fences, while Lone Soldier is also of interest in first-time cheekpieces.
