1. Lisloran (IRE): Lisloran has demonstrated strong form, winning back-to-back races at Ayr in November and December. Although his performance at Catterick wasn’t as impressive, he bounced back with a third-place finish at Ayr last month. The main concern for Lisloran is proving he can perform well away from Ayr. If he can do that, he has strong claims for a top finish in this race.
2. Caboy (FR): Caboy recently ended a long losing streak with a win in a 7-runner handicap chase at Wetherby under the same rider, showing strength at the finish. The 3lb rise in the handicap should not be a significant hindrance, but his overall record suggests he might be vulnerable to stronger contenders. Nevertheless, Caboy has experience completing races and could be in contention for a top 3 finish.
3. Divas Doyen (IRE): Divas Doyen has shown a recent improvement in form, finishing strongly at Musselburgh this month and only narrowly missing out on the win. Although the race wasn’t of the highest quality, a 2lb rise should not be a major concern. If she can replicate her recent performance, Divas Doyen has definite claims for a top 3 finish in this race.

In conclusion, Lisloran (IRE) appears to be the strongest contender, followed by Caboy (FR) and Divas Doyen (IRE).
