He was last seen being turned over at odds of 9/5 at Cheltenham when chasing home Cheltenham Festival hopeful and handicap blot Jagwar. He has only been hit with a 3lb rise in the weights, which looks fair. If getting into a rhythm on the front end, they may have to go some to peg Billytherealbigred back. Jumps well on the lead Relishes this trip Can hang Star rating: Bet on Billytherealbigred with Betfred 2 Iroko Age: 7 Weight: 12st 0lb Form: 52-2F4 Rating: 152 Jockey: Jonjo O’Neill Trainer: Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero Odds: 11/2 Iroko caught the stewards’ attention last time out at Cheltenham, and it’s clear why. He has been targeted for the Grand National all year, and now that the weights are out, don’t be shocked if he is bang there at the end, even off 12st. He does hold another engagement in Kelso today, which may be the option they choose rather than running here. Grand National weights have been released Has to carry top weight His main target is Aintree Star rating: Bet on Iroko with SBK 1 Kandoo Kid Age: 9 Weight: 12st 0lb Form: 2P23-1 Rating: 152 Jockey: Harry Cobden Trainer: Paul Nicholls Odds: 6/1 Last seen winning the Coral Gold Cup, Kandoo Kid will be another runner stepping up in his Grand National preparation today. He’s back down to a trip at which he has winning form, but with his main target being April, it’s hard to see Harry Cobden giving Kandoo Kid a hard race here today. Course winner Has to carry top weight His main target is Aintree Star rating: Bet on Kandoo Kid with talkSPORT Bet 8 Vincenzo Age: 7 Weight: 10st 10lb Form: -36121 Rating: 134 Jockey: Dylan Johnston (3) Trainer: Sam Thomas Odds: 8/1 A winner of two of his last three runs over fences, Vincenzo has a lot going for him today. His win at Sandown showcased his improvement as he pulled away in the latter stage to win by over three lengths going away. He gets in off a nice racing weight here, and with only a 5lb rise for that win, this prominent racer is worth another go over this trip and is a danger to all. Fast improver Races on the pace This trip has stretched him in the past Star rating: Bet on Vincenzo with bet365 4 Le Milos Age: 10 Weight: 11st 5lb Form: 7-5431 Rating: 143 Jockey: Harry Atkins (7) Trainer: Dan Skelton Odds: 9/1 Le Milos recorded his first win since taking the Ladbrokes Gold Cup on this track back in 2022 when taking a Verterans’ chase at Warwick last month, and you would be brave to think that this ten-year-old will be able to back that win up outside of Veterans’ Chase company. The percentage call is to avoid him. Back to winning ways last time out Not as good as he once was Star rating: Bet on Le Milos with Paddy Power 5 Saint Segal Age: 7 Weight: 11st 1lb Form: -47512 Rating: 139 Jockey: David Noonan Trainer: Jane Williams Odds: 10/1 The best thing David Noonan has done on Saint Segal is letting him stride on in the lead. They have tried holding this headstrong gelding up, but he used to over-race and plough through some of his fences. He still tends to leave his mark in a fence, but now that he is more relaxed on the front end, he seems to get away with it. There will be a bit of competition for the lead here, which may work in his favour and settle him even more. Now that he has become more tractable, there is every reason to believe that Saint Segal, a former course and distance winner, can play a leading role here. Has become more tractable Course and distance winner Could get lit up if taken on Star rating: Bet on Saint Segal with Betfred 12 Scarface Age: 8 Weight: 10st 5lb Form: -54224 Rating: 129 Jockey: Brendan Powell Trainer: Joe Tizzard Odds: 10/1 Scarface has been running consistently well this season, and even with two second-place finishes, he hasn’t threatened to win. This looks like it will be a similar scenario for the Joe Tizzard-trained gelding. He will run
