Verdict
A winner of four of his six previous visits to this course, MAGNA SAM makes plenty of appeal down to 0-120 company for the first time since a wide-margin C&D success back in February 2022. Too Cool Forshrule wasn't ideallty placed at Newcastle on his latest start and is feared most ahead of Giovanni Change.

VerdictChase/hurdles winner Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero earlier this year and made amends for a late mishap at Kelso when back on the scoresheet for present yard in 12-runner handicap at Ayr (20.5f, soft) last month. Excuses at Newcastle next time and he's one for the shortlist.

VerdictCapable stayer when on-song, as he demonstrated with a wide-margin all-the-way success in the 2024 Edinburgh National. Best effort for a while when runner-up back from a break at Carlisle in October, but failed to back that up next time and others look stronger.

VerdictDual hurdles winner who was in the process of leaving a disappointing chase debut behind when falling at the last (length down in third at time) in 3m Ayr handicap (soft) last month. Still, one or two of the others have more pressing claims.- 2. Magna SamJ: J. HoganT: Alastair RalphF: 7P/PP31P-6

VerdictRejuvenated by fitting of cheekpieces when landing the Edinburgh National for a second time in February, recording a fourth success at this course in the process. Hasn't reproduced that in 2 subsequent starts, but couldn't rule out back here. - 6. Giovanni ChangeJ: Jamie HamiltonT: Mark WalfordF: 7321-143P

VerdictBack-to-back winner over 3m at Market Rasen during the spring. Pulled up when last seen there in July, but the subsequent break could be just what the doctor ordered and he'll be a threat if on-song.

VerdictMultiple winner for Philip Kirby in 2023/2024 and placed on a few occasions over fences for Lizzie Quinlan during the spring. However, he was below par when last seen in June and is probably worth taking on starting out for another new yard.
