Iroko
One of the few races Britain has dominated, and they appear to hold the aces once again with the Greenall & Guerriero stable holding a strong hand with IROKO and Jagwar, the former shading the vote at the forecast odds. Things haven't gone to plan for Myretown this season but he still makes the shortlist with last year's romp still fresh in the memory, while Blaze The Way looks the pick of the Irish.

Improved at a rate of knots switched to fences last season, winning 4 from 5, notably the Plate at this meeting on final start. Excellent placed efforts in Premier Handicaps here both outings this term and this longer trip may place less pressure on his slightly flawed jumping technique.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosCheltenham2m 4f 127ySoftChase2/11Cheltenham2m 4f 127yGood to SoftChase3/10Cheltenham2m 4f 127yGood to SoftChase1/20Cheltenham2m 4f 127ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/7Uttoxeter2m 4fSoft (Good to Soft in Places)Chase3/5- 1IrokoJ: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.E: Oliver Greenall & Josh GuerrieroF424-21Âge 86/16/113/2

Martin Pipe winner at the 2023 Cheltenham Festival and has developed into a very smart chaser, ending last season with fine fourth in Grand National at Aintree. All the better for return when winning 3-runner class 2 event at Ascot (21f), displaying his versatility down in trip.

Looked a smart prospect when a runaway winner of this 12 months ago (off 15 lb lower). Prone to the odd mistake, though, and that held him back first 2 starts this term.

Enjoyed a fine campaign over fences last term, 2 of his 3 wins coming over C&D. Back to something like that sort of form when fourth in Silver Cup at Ascot in December, likely to have gone close but for a bad mistake 2 out.

Developed into a smart performer over fences last term, winning all 3 completed starts, including Grade 1 Scilly Isles at Sandown.

Won Grade 2 novice chase at Kempton in 2023/24. Lightly raced since but has made a positive start for this yard, third of 6 in Betfair Ascot Chase before narrow second back in a handicap at Newbury (Greatwood Gold Cup).

Continued his progression from last season when landing a 4-timer by a wide margin at Ffos Las on return.
