Form profile

130 rated hurdler. Finished seventh, beaten seven and three quarter lengths, to Supremely West in the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham (3m) in March off his current mark.

Trainer says

Bold Endeavour ran a perfectly satisfactory race in the Pertemps and has come out of the race well. He should be suited by the flat track at Aintree, and he will take his chance in the William Hill Handicap Hurdle over three miles on Saturday.

Form profile

147 rated hurdler. Pulled up before the last in the Grade 1 Stayers’ Hurdle at Cheltenham (3m) in March but had previously finished third, beaten 11 ½ lengths, to Ma Shantou in the Grade 2 Cleeve Hurdle at Cheltenham (3m) in January.

Trainer says

Doddie obviously won us the Pertemps Final two years ago and we will return him to handicap company in the William Hill Hurdle on Saturday and hope he can make a bold showing.

Form profile

130 rated chaser. Finished ninth, beaten 13 ½ lengths, to Ask Brewster in the Kim Muir Handicap Chase at Cheltenham (3m 2 1/2f) in March off a mark of 132.

Trainer says

He never really got competitive in the Kim Muir, but he has been over the National fences three times now and we will let him take his chance in the Topham on Friday, but he needs seven to come out so obviously may not run.

Form profile

167 rated chaser. Made an impressive winning return in the 1965 Ascot Chase at Ascot (2m 5f) in November when beating Gidleigh Park nine lengths and kept on strongly when fourth, beaten half a length, to The Jukebox Man in the Grade 1 King George VI Chase at Kempton (3m) on Boxing Day. Finished runner-up, beaten eight lengths, to Gaelic Warrior in the Grade 1 Gold Cup at Cheltenham (3m 2 1/2f) in March.

Trainer says

Jango Baie has done absolutely nothing wrong in his three races this year and ran another very good race last time when finishing runner-up to Gaelic Warrior in the Gold Cup. He, like others of my team, has benefited from the extra week between Cheltenham and Aintree, and will take his chance in the Bowl Chase on Thursday. We hope would have a very obvious chance.

Form profile

153 rated hurdler. Finished runner-up, beaten five and a half lengths, to Kabral Du Mathan in the Grade 2 Relkeel Hurdle at Cheltenham (2m 4 1/2f) on New Year’s Day and had little trouble going one better in the BetMGM Cup Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham (2m 5f) in March when making virtually all to score by six lengths from Franciscan Rock off a mark of 144.

Trainer says

He was impressive in the BetMGM Cup and has sort of handicapped himself out handicaps, so it suggests we ought to step up. He has come out of Cheltenham very well and he will go for the Liverpool Hurdle on Saturday.

Form profile

165 rated chaser. Winner of 15 of his 22 chases and runner-up in the other seven. Finished runner-up, beaten 10 lengths, to Heart Wood in the Grade 1 Ryanair Chase at Cheltenham (2m 4 1/2f) in March. Has previously scored by a length and a half from Pic D’Orhy in the Grade 1 Ascot Chase at Ascot (2m 5f) in February.

Trainer says

What more can you say about Jonbon? He has been an amazing servant to JP and the stable and as we know he never runs a bad race. For some unknown reason we can’t get him to win at Cheltenham in March even though he has won two Shloer Chases there and he is a possible for a third successive victory in the Melling Chase.

Form profile

137 rated hurdler. Finished third, beaten five lengths, to Wilful in the Grade 3 County Handicap Hurdle at Cheltenham off a mark of 135.

Trainer says

She ran a very good race in the County Hurdle and was staying on well so we will go over two and a half miles for the first time in the William Hill Handicap Hurdle on Friday.

Form profile

162 rated chaser. Impressive winner of his first three races over fences including when beating the experienced Saint Segal six and a half lengths in the Grade 2 Game Spirit Chase at Newbury (2m 1/2f) in February. Finished third, beaten four and three quarter lengths, to Kargese when 11-10 favourite for the Grade 1 Arkle Challenge Trophy at Cheltenham (2m) in March.

Trainer says

He’s been in good nick since he got back from the Arkle, and we think he needs the step up to two and a half miles so he will run in the Manifesto Novices’ Chase on Thursday. He’s fresh and ready for the race and let’s hope he can get back on the winning track as he was mightily impressive when winning his three chases before Cheltenham.
