1st (6)  (12/1 -60%)Malinka |
12/1(-60%) |  | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Malinka 12/1, Fair form on second of 2 starts as a 2-y-o but finished well held all 3 starts, including in handicaps/upped in trip for Ralph Beckett so far this year. Market should guide as to expectations now hurdling for new yard. Disappointing on the Flat for Ralph Beckett this year; bought for £4,000 last month. |
|||
2nd (1)  (11/4 -47%)Torrent |
11/4(-47%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Torrent 11/4, Fair maiden on the Flat for Andrew Balding who, having been gelded, made perfect start over hurdles when winning 8-runner juvenile hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.7f) 4 weeks ago, quickening well to lead close home. Claims under a penalty if conditions don't pose a problem. Fair on the Flat; 33-1 winner on stable/hurdle debut at Uttoxeter; likely contender here. |
|||
3rd (2)  (7/2 +36%)Aaron |
7/2(+36%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Aaron 7/2, Fair maiden on the Flat in France, going close in a claimer in April. The betting should help guide to expectations now hurdle for new connections. Went close in slow-ground Flat claimer in France in April; makes stable/hurdle debut today. |
|||
4th (3)  (10/3 +17%)Judicial Reward |
10/3(+17%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Judicial Reward 10/3, Well held all 5 starts on the Flat but did at least offer a little more than on hurdles debut when fifth in a juvenile event at Ballinrobe (16.7f) 2 weeks ago. Switched yards since and he could yet have more to offer. Booking of Brian Hughes a positive. Poor on the Flat but his two hurdle runs this summer have been more encouraging. |
|||
5th (5)  (16/5 -28%)Trafalgar Square |
16/5(-28%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Trafalgar Square 16/5, Fair maiden at up to 1½m on the Flat and showed an aptitude for hurdling when second of 12 in a juvenile hurdle at Market Rasen (16.6f) back in June. In good hands and likely he can build on that following a wind op. Well held when second on hurdling debut in June but has a fighting chance here. |
|||
6th (7)  (14/1 +13%)Path Of Stars |
14/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Path Of Stars 14/1, Masar filly. Dam, half-sister to useful hurdler/fairly useful chase winner (stayed 2¾m) Farringdon. Badly needed experience in maiden sole start on Flat at Kempton (12f) in May. Acquired for just 3,800 gns in June and another best guided by the betting now sent hurdling. Well beaten on Flat debut in May and looks far too risky on this stable/hurdle debut. |
|||
|PU| (4)  (66/1 +0%)Rubio De Oro |
66/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Rubio De Oro 66/1, Modest maiden handicapper on Flat (stays 1½m) who finished well held both starts for current yard last month. Switch to this discipline needs to have positive effect now. Poor maiden on the Flat; difficult to enthuse over on hurdling debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
TORRENT belied odds of 33/1 when making a winning debut over hurdles at Uttoxeter. He may well defy a penalty if proving as effective on soft going. Trafalgar Square has undergone a wind operation since finishing second at Market Rasen on his hurdling bow and should have a say in proceedings, while the Irish challenger Judicial Reward has switched trainers and Brian Hughes' presence in the saddle suggests better is expected from him.
TORRENT faces contrasting conditions to those he faced when making a successful hurdles debut at Uttoxeter 4 weeks ago but that was a promising start and, open to improvement, he shades the vote. Trafalgar Square following his second at Market Rasen rates the chief threat, with French recruit Aaron also worth a look on hurdles debut for his new yard.
The most obvious answer is TORRENT, who finished well to snatch victory on his recent hurdling debut. Aaron is feared most.

1st (2)  (6/1 -118%)Doyen For A Drink |
6/1(-118%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Doyen For A Drink 6/1, Ran up to form when fourth of 13 in handicap hurdle at Wexford (24f, good to soft) 32 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Paul Nolan and market may be revealing on British debut. 0-8 over hurdles but ran well last month, after a layoff; now with a different Irish yard. |
|||
2nd (1)  (1/1 +9%)Secret Secret |
1/1(+9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Secret Secret 1/1, Well backed and confirmed the promise of his previous C&D run when landing 22.1f handicap here a month ago, comfortably. 6 lb rise looks lenient so follow-up claims appear to be bright. Good winner over 2m6f here last month but today's move back up in trip may not be ideal. |
|||
3rd (3)  (4/1 +75%)Ange Endormi |
4/1(+75%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Ange Endormi 4/1, Modest handicap hurdler who probably needed the run on first outing since leaving Barbara Butterworth after 19 months off when beating only one home at Hexham in April. Failed to come for that 6 weeks later so has a lot to prove. Course winner in 2022 but back from long absence with two low-key runs this spring. |
|||
4th (5)  (33/1 +18%)Bless The Moon |
33/1(+18%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Bless The Moon 33/1, On trainer number 3 after as mnay starts, weakening out of it at Uttoxeter last month (2m). Back up markedly in trip. Well beaten over 2m on stable/handicap debut; hiked up in trip today. |
|||
|PU| (8)  (9/2 +10%)Traditude Tara |
9/2(+10%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Traditude Tara 9/2, Low-key start over hurdles but allotted a lowly mark based on her Irish bumper form so she's one to consider upped markedly in distance. Makes handicap debut off a lowly mark and is a possible improver over this new trip. |
|||
|PU| (7)  (22/1 -57%)The Knot Is Tied |
22/1(-57%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) The Knot Is Tied 22/1, Little impact in 2 starts on the Flat for current yard and same story over obstacles. Has huge amount to prove but still worth a glance in the betting. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (33/1 -32%)Raincloud |
33/1(-32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Raincloud 33/1, Poor maiden on Flat who showed first form when second in a Carlisle maiden hurdle (17.2f) in July. Well held on the level since and same story back over timber at Market Rasen. Stamina to prove upped markedly in distance. 200-1 second in 2m1f maiden here last month but the form looks iffy; tailed off since. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
SECRET SECRET returned a convincing five-length winner on soft ground over 2m6f here last month. The manner of that success suggests James Moffatt's inmate can cope with a 6lb rise and go in again. Reagrove Lord caught the eye finishing strongly for third at Perth and can feature once again off his current mark, while Doyen For A Drink travels over from Ireland with a shout.
It's hard to get away from course-regular SECRET SECRET, who won with plenty up his sleeve at this venue a month ago. Traditude Tara will surely show more now handicapping, while Irish raider Doyen For A Drink requires a market check.
Preference is for Irish raider DOYEN FOR A DRINK, who returned from a layoff with a pleasing run last month.

1st (1)  (2/1 -33%)Skyjack Hijack |
2/1(-33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Skyjack Hijack 2/1, Has improved with each of his four hurdling runs, unfortunate to bump into one when second of 9 on handicap debut at this course (22.1f, soft) 5 weeks ago. Every chance he can go a placed better from a 1 lb higher mark. Improving 6yo who could prove to be well suited by this longer trip; good chance.. |
|||
2nd (8)  (4/1 +67%)Lady Harriett |
4/1(+67%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Lady Harriett 4/1, Maiden hurdler who wasn't disgraced from a long way out of the weights when eighth of 10 in at Newton Abbot (26.5f, good to soft) just over 5 weeks ago. Place claims back from her 'proper' mark. Safely held in first three handicaps and needs to improve to figure here.. |
|||
3rd (7)  (9/2 -80%)Blended Stealth |
9/2(-80%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Blended Stealth 9/2, Long-standing maiden who has never gone closer than when second of 10 at Perth (23.9f, good to firm) last month, beating all bar a gambled-on unexposed one and sticking to task when headed last. Nudged up 3 lb for that but looks ready to break his duck. Longstanding maiden but went close off 3lb lower last month, chance if repeating that.. |
|||
4th (5)  (7/1 +13%)Joie De Vivre |
7/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Joie De Vivre 7/1, Fair Flat winner who got off the mark in this sphere in 21f handicap at Sedgefield last November. Placed under both codes next 2 starts but possibly unsuited by conditions on her return to hurdling when fourth of 9 in handicap at this course (22.1f, good) a couple of months ago. Has shaped as though she'd be worth a try over this longer trip; considered off 2lb lower.. |
|||
5th (4)  (14/1 +13%)Emily Wade |
14/1(+13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Emily Wade 14/1, Not at best during second half of last season but eased in weights and she duly capitalised with a tongue tie added to usual hood when landing 7-runner mares' handicap at Southwell (20.4f) in June. Possibly amiss next time but below form at Stratford since. Significantly upped in trip. Should appreciate this stiffer test but has a bit to prove at present.. |
|||
|PU| (2)  (10/1 -11%)Shantou Moon |
10/1(-11%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Shantou Moon 10/1, Successful twice in handicaps for Tristan Davidson and left his stable debut run behind when second at Hexham (23.3f) at the start of June. However, he ran below form on both starts at Perth last month but could bounce back dropped in class. Form has dipped on recent efforts but he handles most conditions and is worth considering.. |
|||
|PU| (3)  (11/1 -83%)Baby Evie |
11/1(-83%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Baby Evie 11/1, Showed a bit more than previously having her third run within a month when fourth of 13 in novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.8f, good) 31 days ago. Significantly upped in trip for her handicap debut and could prove a different proposition for a yard notorious for winners at this track. Unexposed 5yo; can't rule out on handicap debut with improvement likely stepped up to 3m.. |
|||
|PU| (9)  (33/1 +0%)Mistertommyshelby |
33/1(+0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (9) Mistertommyshelby 33/1, Overall record uninspiring and looks firmly up against it again from out of the weights. Modest maiden; tailed off on most recent start and hard to make a case for.. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (40/1 0%)You're Kidding Me |
40/1(0%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) You're Kidding Me 40/1, Limited impact both starts in Ireland for Enda Bolger and similar story starting out for this yard at Hexham (20.1f, good) a couple of months ago. Upped in trip for his handicap debut. Makes handicap debut on second start for stable but hard to recommend.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Blended Stealth has obvious claims of finally winning over hurdles based on last month's narrow defeat at Perth, but SKYJACK HIJACK has more scope for improvement and may edge this. The six-year-old was having only his fourth outing when finishing runner-up on soft ground here on his handicap debut last month and looks capable of scoring off his current mark. Joie De Vivre is at home on a soft surface and could go well too.
SKYJACK HIJACK continued his race-by-race progression when finding only a Jimmy Moffat-trainer improver too strong at this track 5 weeks ago so with this extra distance holding no fears, Jennie Candlish's 6-y-o can come out on top. Second choice is Blended Stealth, who is a long-standing maiden but got as close as he ever has at Perth last month. Handicap-debutante Baby Evie and Lady Harriett can fight out third.
Joie De Vivre looks capable of a big run over this longer trip but the less-exposed SKYJACK HIJACK has the greater potential.

1st (2)  (14/1 +30%)Tiger Jet |
14/1(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Tiger Jet 14/1, Won 3m Haydock handicap in spring 2023 but more miss than hit for Brian Ellison subsequently. Has changed stable ahead of this first start since March. The betting should help guide to expectations. Out of sorts when last seen but has the form to figure on stable debut back from a break.. |
|||
2nd (8)  (7/2 +46%)Shantou Sunset |
7/2(+46%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (8) Shantou Sunset 7/2, Potentially well handicapped and made a good return from 8 months off when 4 lengths third to City Derby over 25f here 5 weeks ago. Should go well. Not beaten far by City Derby here in July; could reverse placing on the better terms.. |
|||
3rd (3)  (4/1 +60%)The Churchill Lad |
4/1(+60%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) The Churchill Lad 4/1, Course winner. 9/2, seventh of 10 in handicap at Perth 43 days ago. Hood back on. Needs a return to this venue to help spark a revival. Hood now returns and he's on a good mark but he has to prove he stays this far.. |
|||
4th (4)  (11/4 +73%)Elogio |
11/4(+73%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Elogio 11/4, Bumper/hurdle winner who has run respectably on both outings since joining Lizzie Quinlan. Not discounted back up in trip. Wetherby winner in December who has got back on track for new stable this year; player.. |
|||
5th (6)  (18/1 -13%)The Bomber Liston |
18/1(-13%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) The Bomber Liston 18/1, Placed twice at Ludlow before Christmas but out of sorts at Newbury and Wincanton in March. Has left Nicky Henderson ahead of this first outing for 5 months. Has yet to win in handicap company and needs the change of scenery to spark a revival.. |
|||
6th (1)  (16/1 -256%)Point Gellibrand |
16/1(-256%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Point Gellibrand 16/1, Pretty useful on the Flat but has achieved no better than fair form over hurdles, finishing a well-held fourth in a Sligo claimer last time. Sports first-time blinkers for this handicap hurdle debut. Worth a look in the betting under Brian Hughes. Worth considering upped in trip on handicap debut with blinkers now added.. |
|||
|PU| (11)  (7/2 +30%)Sky Luna |
7/2(+30%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (11) Sky Luna 7/2, Winning Irish pointer who has finished placed in C&D maiden/novice hurdles since joining this yard. Interesting now making a quick switch to handicaps. Promise on both starts in C&D maidens and she's one to take seriously on handicap debut.. |
|||
|PU| (7)  (28/1 -180%)Laxey |
28/1(-180%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Laxey 28/1, Fair maiden hurdler for Henry Daly but not seen since finishing third over 19.5f at Doncaster in January 2020. Can only watch after such a long absence. Displayed ability in 2020 but can only be watched with such a mammoth absence to overcome.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A change of scenery and 169-day layoff could be just what the doctor ordered for TIGER JET on his first appearance for the Jennie Candlish team. The eight-year-old is just 2lb higher than his last winning mark and could be worth chancing in an open contest. Elogio was beaten just over two lengths when fifth at Uttoxeter last time out and he's feared most, ahead of the distance-dropping Shantou Sunset.
Perhaps SKY LUNA can make a winning start to her handicapping career for the Jimmy Moffatt team. Shantou Sunset is another likely contender for the stable on the back of her good reappearance run over a longer trip here last month. Elogio may prove best of the remainder.
City Derby has to be feared in his bid for a five-timer but an interesting alternative might be SKY LUNA on handicap debut.

1st (1)  (7/4 +22%)Tommie Beau |
7/4(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Tommie Beau 7/4, Really likeable durable stayer who capitalised on drop in grade over fences in C&D handicap in May from Charlie Uberalles and made light of quick turnaround from lower mark over hurdles later that month. Good second back here again on Saturday and a big player back chasing. Wide-margin C&D winner in May and two very good hurdle runs here have followed. |
|||
2nd (3)  (9/2 -29%)Jerrash |
9/2(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Jerrash 9/2, Successful at Bangor and Market Rasen this summer but good run of form came to an end at Newton Abbot 5 weeks ago. Still on a fair mark if he can bounce back. Dual winner this summer but needs to bounce back from a substandard run last month. |
|||
3rd (4)  (10/3 -48%)Ilikedwayurthinkin |
10/3(-48%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Ilikedwayurthinkin 10/3, Useful handicap hurdler/chaser at one time and has rediscovered some form this season, scoring twice in C&D handicaps, albeit probably a touch fortunate last time. Can't be ruled out again. Back in good form since cheekpieces were refitted; bids to complete a C&D hat-trick today. |
|||
4th (5)  (17/2 +15%)Scipion |
17/2(+15%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Scipion 17/2, Out of sorts for a while, well beaten again starting out for another new yard here back in May. Switches back to chasing after a breathing op now. Tailed off over hurdles on stable debut in May; had wind op in June; tongue-tie refitted. |
|||
5th (2)  (7/1 -27%)Charlie Uberalles |
7/1(-27%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Charlie Uberalles 7/1, Fairly useful chaser who was as good as ever when scoring over shorter here in June. Fair run over hurdles next time and one to note back in this sphere. Landed a good prize over 2m5f here in June but would appeal much more on good ground. |
|||
|PU| (6)  (9/1 +25%)Polish |
9/1(+25%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Polish 9/1, Versatile performer placed in a 3m Southwell hunter in March. Sold from Fergal O'Brien £7,000 in May. This looks tough. Beaten when falling in a hunter chase in May; needs to up his game on this stable debut. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
ILIKEDWAYURTHINKIN has been revived by a switch to chasing, as evidenced with two ready victories over C&D in recent months. A 3lb rise in the ratings for the veteran's latest triumph looks more than workable judged on his previous exploits when racing in Ireland. Although Jerrash hasn't always convinced with his jumping in this discipline, he's a threat if putting it all together. The Kayf Tara gelding may give the selection most to think about, ahead of Charlie Uberalles.
TOMMIE BEAU won over fences and hurdles here in the space of 48 hours in May and could be well placed to strike again after a fine run in second over the smaller obstacles at Saturday's meeting. Old rival Charlie Uberalles is respected back chasing, while Ilikedwayurthinkin is a big player bidding for a C&D hat-trick.
The pick is ILIKEDWAYURTHINKIN (nap), who does not look harshly treated by a 3lb rise for the latter of his two C&D wins this season.

1st (7)  (3/1 -20%)Sean Og |
3/1(-20%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Sean Og 3/1, C&D winner in June and continued his good spell when second of 11 in handicap chase back at this C&D (good) last month. Should go well again. C&D winner (good) in June and has run well in defeat since but needs conditions to dry.. |
|||
2nd (2)  (9/1 +64%)Coqolino |
9/1(+64%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Coqolino 9/1, Now 12 runs since his last win in 2021 and he's been well below par for current yard this season. Out of sorts so far for this stable but he's difficult to ignore off a dangerous mark.. |
|||
3rd (3)  (7/2 +22%)Lermoos Legend |
7/2(+22%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (3) Lermoos Legend 7/2, Won 23f handicap chase at Worcester last summer but is also effective over much shorter. Running respectable of late, including when third of 5 in handicap chase at this course (17.3f, soft) on Saturday. Back up in trip. Course winner who finished third here over 2m1f two days ago; player.. |
|||
4th (6)  (15/8 +32%)Dr Sanderson |
15/8(+32%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (6) Dr Sanderson 15/8, Last 3 wins have come at this track including over 17f in June. Good placed efforts here next 3 starts, including on Saturday, and he remains of interest. Runs well here and wasn't beaten far over C&D two days ago; likely to be thereabouts.. |
|||
5th (4)  (13/2 +35%)Jelski |
13/2(+35%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Jelski 13/2, Back-to-back winner here last summer off higher marks but continues to operate below his best this term. Has a bit to find on these terms having finished 18l adrift of Dr Sanderson two days ago.. |
|||
6th (1)  (18/1 -29%)The Flier Begley |
18/1(-29%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) The Flier Begley 18/1, Fairly useful chase winner for Stuart Crawford in Ireland. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap chase at Down Royal on final start for that yard in May. Presumably having a pipe-opener back over hurdles at Uttoxeter on yard debut and better expected now with tongue strap applied. Has had wind surgery and reverts to fences on a workable mark; interesting.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
SEAN OG has taken his form to a higher level over the larger obstacles with a C&D success on his penultimate start. The six-year-old followed that up with a second-placed effort here last month and remains unexposed on only his sixth chase start. The Flier Begley appears to be on a fair mark if stepping back in the right direction following his latest effort over hurdles. On My Bike is also noted.
SEAN OG continues in good heart and is fast becoming a Cartmel specialist, so is marginally preferred to Dr Sanderson, who again ran well here on Saturday and has backed up quickly before.
Sean Og would rate serious consideration should the ground dry but a chance is taken on COQOLINO returning to form off a good mark.

1st (2)  (10/11 -9%)Cuzco Du Mathan |
10/11(-9%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (2) Cuzco Du Mathan 10/11, C&D hurdles/chase winner who arrives on the back of a good second here on Saturday. Solid claims turned out quickly. Got off the mark over fences when scoring over C&D last month; second here on Saturday.. |

2nd (5)  (4/1 +33%)Supposedtobe |
4/1(+33%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (5) Supposedtobe 4/1, Flat/hurdles winner who returned to form when third here in May. Exploits mixed since but best not judged too harshly on his chase debut effort at Worcester (16.5f) on Wednesday having been badly hampered early. Type to do better in this sphere. Made an inauspicious chasing debut at Worcester last Wednesday when eighth of 13.. |

3rd (1)  (10/3 +26%)Forcing Bull |
10/3(+26%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (1) Forcing Bull 10/3, Proven mudlark seemed to relish the soft ground sent chasing when winning 4-runner handicap at Uttoxeter (20f) in July. May of found race coming too soon when last of 5 over C&D later that month but he's likely worth another chance with conditions in his favour. Made a winning chasing debut at Uttoxeter last month; may be able to dominate here.. |
|||
4th (7)  (22/1 +56%)Coeur Aimant |
22/1(+56%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (7) Coeur Aimant 22/1, Didn't take to chasing following a promising return over hurdles last summer and well below best over hurdles, including here on Saturday. Faces a stiff task from long way out of the weights returned to chasing. 23-race maiden; beaten 24l over hurdles here on Saturday.. |
|||
5th (4)  (17/2 +39%)Grand Soufle |
17/2(+39%) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (4) Grand Soufle 17/2, Fair winner at 17f over hurdles. 10/1, last of 8 in handicap chase at this course (17.3f, soft) on debut over fences 89 days ago. Needs to leave that well behind. Lightly raced 8yo whose only success came in a maiden hurdle here in August 2022.. |
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
FORCING BULL may have not appreciated a relatively quick turnaround when finishing fifth over C&D just 13 days after scoring at Uttoxeter on his chasing debut. Donald McCain's gelding is expected to bounce back and prove too strong for the opposition. Wee Charlie has to be on the shortlist returning to fences for the first time since March, while Grand Soufle isn't to be discounted either.
CUZCO DU MATHAN has got back on track since the visor was applied, opening his chase account over C&D in July and matching that form when runner-up back here on Saturday. He holds solid claims turned out quickly. Fellow chase winner Forcing Bull has been given more of a break following his last run and he's feared, along with Supposedtobe, who remains open to improvement in this sphere.
Preference is for FORCING BULL who may be able to dominate this small field. Cuzco Du Mathan is second choice.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses.
