Tomorrow, February 1, 2025ChaseClass 23m

Venetia Williams' IN D'OR is the youngest in this field and comes here on an upward curve so is fancied to defy a career-high mark and complete his hat-trick. Gustavian is weighted to have a big say on the back of his resurgent Aintree second and next on the list, although the thriving O'Connell is another to consider in his attempt to complete his own hat-trick.

    Verdict
    French import who has improved for the switch to fences, scoring cosily in handicaps (around 3m) at Taunton and Ascot this winter. Has more to come and a big player in his hat-trick bid.

    Verdict
    It's now 12 runs since his last win in 2023 but he posted a very good second of 7 in handicap chase at Aintree (25f, soft) 37 days ago. Weighted to go well despite a 4 lb rise.

    Verdict
    Has returned an improved model and bids for a hat-trick following handicap wins at Carlisle and Market Rasen (27.6f). Scored easily on latter occasion so not taken lightly despite a 9 lb weights hike.

    Resumed winning ways at Ludlow in December and backed it up with a creditable fourth of 11 in handicap chase at Kempton (24f, good to soft) 36 days ago. In the mix with blinkers back on.

    Verdict
    Very smart chaser at best and, though winless since landing Kauto Star Novices' Chase at Kempton in 2020, he shaped well when fourth at Bangor (24.1f, soft) on return. Below-par effort at Cheltenham last time so needs to bounce back.

    Verdict
    Smart form when winning 2 novice chases at the end of 2022 but very lightly raced since. Had wind op/off 23 months before a fair sixth of 10 in 3m Wincanton handicap hurdle 37 days ago. Can take a step forward back over fences.

    Verdict
    Doubled his tally in this sphere at Ffos Las back in November 2022 but lightly raced since and well below par both runs this term at Haydock and Chepstow. Needs a subsequent wind op to spark improvement.

    Verdict
    Very useful chaser in his pomp and returned to form for his current yard when fourth of 15 in handicap chase (80/1) at Cheltenham (29.2f, good to soft) 50 days ago. Not ruled out with blinkers replacing cheekpieces.

    Developed into a useful chaser in 2021/22. Seen out only twice since (well held both times), however, and has another lengthy absence to overcome here.
