Annual Invictus
In a contest where few arrive with compelling claims it might be worth chancing the classy ANNUAL INVICTUS, who shaped as if retaining a good chunk of his ability after an absence when mid-field in the Coral Gold Cup over C&D and this is less competitive. Rivers Corner is next on the list, ahead of Only The Bold.

Improved in first-time blinkers when winning a 23f course handicap in March. Ended that season with another good run here and has returned with a couple of creditable thirds in recent weeks.

Rejuvenated by breathing surgery/fitting of a tongue strap when completing a hat-trick at the start of 2025. Much better effort this season when fourth of 12 over 22.5f here last month.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewbury2m 6f 93yGood to SoftChase4/12Cheltenham3m 1fGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase11/18Sandown Park3m 4f 146yGoodChasepu/19Newbury2m 7f 86yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/6Warwick2m 4fSoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/8- 1Annual InvictusJ: Freddie GordonT: Chris Gordon4172/0Age 109/27/24/1

Front-runner who developed into a smart handicapper in early 2024, including win in Great Yorkshire Chase at Doncaster and close second in bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown. Off 19 months, showed enough to suggest he retains ability when midfield in Coral Gold Cup over C&D 30 days ago. This is easier.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosNewbury3m 1f 214yGood to SoftChase13/24Sandown Park3m 4f 146yGood (Good to Soft in Places)Chase2/20Cheltenham3m 2fSoftChase7/22Doncaster2m 7f 214yGood (Good to Soft in places)Chase1/18Plumpton3m 217ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Hurdle4/8- 4Brave KingdomJ: Harry CobdenT: Paul Nicholls1P/3P-PAge 913/211/26/1

Low-mileage chaser who was third in this race last season but has pulled up in just 2 outings since, including over 22.5f here last month.

Had a disappointing 2023/24 for David Pipe but back on track for his new yard, winning Summer Cup at Uttoxeter in June.

First and second in his first 2 chases. The wheels have rather come off since but he did shape better with blinkers added (retained) when fourth of Sandown (3m) last time (would have finished closer but for mistakes at last 2).DateCourseDistGoingTypePosSandown Park3m 37yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase4/8Cheltenham3m 1fHeavy (Soft in places)Chasepu/16Cheltenham3m 1fGood to SoftChase12/18Ayr3m 20yGood to Soft (Good in places)Chase5/7Kempton Park2m 4f 110yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chasepu/9- 6Hold That TaughtJ: Charlie DeutschT: Venetia WilliamsP/64-4PAge 1025/120/122/1

Winning pointer who ended last season with 2m chase wins at Ludlow and Uttoxeter. Below par in 2 outings this season (remote third at Chepstow latterly) but could be building up his fitness and his mark is on the way back down.DateCourseDistGoingTypePosChepstow2m 7f 136yGood to Soft (Soft in places)Chase3/9Cheltenham3m 1fGood (Good to Soft in places)Chasepu/18Uttoxeter3mGood to SoftChase1/8Ludlow2m 7f 171ySoftChase1/4Windsor3m 4f 162ySoft (Good to Soft in places)Chase7/11
