Race Tip

JORDANS (28) second in last year's G1 Mildmay Novices' Chase at this track and has been lightly raced in campaign for this. Ben Jones is a notable jockey booking and he rates highly. I AM MAXIMUS (1) won this in 2024 and runner up last year. Only a fair fifth in the G1 Irish Gold Cup last time out. Choice of Paul Townend. Serious contender. GRANGECLARE WEST (4) held every chance last year before a mistake at the last. Impressive in the G3 Bobbyjo Chase last time. Major player. JAGWAR (22) wears first time cheekpieces and looks hold every chance after his second place in the G3 Ultima Handicap Chase at Cheltenham five weeks ago. PANIC ATTACK (31) has won two big handicaps this season and is weighted to go very close. GORGEOUS TOM (24) wasn't disgraced behind Panic Attack earlier in the season and has possibilities.
