Annsam
Although ANNSAM has failed to complete on both starts since his course win in December it wasn't his fault last time (hampered and unseated) and he's taken to add to his 2023 success in this same contest. Your Darling's tendency to find little off the bridle means he isn't one for maximum faith but he has plenty of class for this grade and is taken to fill the forecast spot.

Career best when winning 3m Kempton handicap last winter. Also a creditable third at last year's Punchestown Festival but he's struggled over fences since, although he probably did too much too soon when fifth over C&D last time.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosLudlow2m 7f 171yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase5/7Musselburgh2m 7f 180yGood to SoftHurdle3/13Kempton Park3mGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase5/5Kempton Park3mGoodChasepu/7Ascot2m 7f 185yGoodChasepu/12- 1Your DarlingJ: Ben JonesT: Ben PaulingP/1-423Age 113/13/110/3

Often finds less than looks likely but is a 4-time winner over fences. Absent 18 months prior to this season but has shown he retains all his ability when placed over 3m at Kempton and Ascot in recent months.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosAscot2m 7f 185yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase3/11Kempton Park3mGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase2/5Ascot2m 5f 13yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase4/4Uttoxeter2m 4fSoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/8Aintree2m 5f 19ySoft (Heavy in places)Chasepu/24- 2The Kalooki KidJ: Danny McMenaminT: Nicky Richards118-456Age 87/27/23/1

Back-to-back chase winner Iast season but has found it tougher this time round, including never a threat when sixth at Musselburgh last time in a race which he won in 2025. Being eased another 2 lb can only help but others arrive with more pressing claims.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosMusselburgh2m 4f 68yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase6/8Musselburgh2m 4f 68yGood to SoftChase5/9Carlisle2m 3f 210yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase4/4Aintree2m 3f 200yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase8/9Musselburgh2m 4f 68yGood to SoftChase1/12- 3DestroytheevidenceJ: Tom BellamyT: Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls2-9323PAge 89/29/25/1

Hasn't added to last season's Chepstow chase debut success in 9 subsequent starts but placed on several occasions, including at Wincanton in January. Ran a moody race when pulled up at Doncaster since, though. Visor worn last twice is now left off and replaced by his more regular cheekpieces.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosDoncaster3m 2f 1ySoftChasepu/8Wincanton3m 2f 162yHeavy (Soft in places)Chase3/7Ludlow2m 7f 171yGood to SoftChase2/6Chepstow2m 7f 131yGood to Firm (Good in places)Chase3/7Uttoxeter3m 10yGoodChase9/14- 4AnnsamJ: Sean BowenT: Mrs C.

Very useful chaser at his best and on a going day when scoring in good style over slightly further here in December. Has failed to complete on both starts since (through no fault of his own last time). Continues to look well treated on that winning form.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosKempton Park3mGoodChaseur/5Sandown Park3m 42yGoodChaseF/9Ludlow3m 1f 125yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase1/5Exeter3m 54yGoodChase5/8Chepstow2m 7f 131yGood to Firm (Good in places)Chase6/7- 5Lounge LizardJ: Richie McLernonT: Sarah Humphrey4P10-P5Age 914/114/116/1

Four-time scorer over fences during his time with Henry Daly but pulled up on his final start for that trainer at Hexham in November and tailed off at Huntingdon starting out for Sarah Humphrey after breathing operation/in first-time tongue strap recently.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosHuntingdon2m 3f 189yGood to SoftChase5/6Hexham2m 4f 15yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chasepu/8Aintree2m 5f 19yGood to SoftChase16/30Huntingdon2m 3f 189yGood to Soft (Good in Places)Chase1/6Kempton Park2m 4f 110yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chasepu/10
