FormscanBy Tom Weekes - HEART WOOD returned from 364 days off when running well in a hot beginners' chase last month. His French form was smart – winning an Auteuil Listed hurdle in March 2022 and while absent for almost a year prior to Naas, he sandwiched two high-class types. He is suited by conditions and is now race-fit. Blood Destiny was Grade 2-placed last April and debuts over fences on reappearance over a distance which could suit. He will be well schooled and receives 8lb but nonetheless cedes experience to the year-older selection. Landrake was a 135-rated hurdler who was well beaten on chase debut while Spanish Harlem, which is rated 131 over hurdles, has plenty to prove in this smart race having been pulled up at Cheltenham.
