10/1

Successful in a Grade 2 handicap chase off a mark of 140 at Cheltenham (2m5f, good) in April and a winner in similar conditions off a 7lb higher mark at Newton Abbot the following month. Well beaten last time out and races off a mark 1lb lower than when third over C&D at the end of May.

Form: 981-130

10/1

Winner over 2m5f at Cartmel (soft) at the end of May but disappointing at Market Rasen on good ground subsequently and would likely appreciate any softening of the ground.

Form: 15U-615

Wadswick Court^b,t⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-5| J: S Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 130

3/1

Finished runner-up on each of his last three starts most recently behind a progressive rival in a Listed handicap chase over an extended 2m5f at Market Rasen (good) earlier this month. Interesting following a 4lb rise.

Form: 3-25222

11/4

Winner of his last two starts over fences including under a penalty in a three runner contest over 2m5f at Newton Abbot (good-to-firm) three weeks ago. Races off an 8lb higher mark today and remains open to improvement.

Form: 57-3211

9/2

Warwick (good) winner over 2m4f at the start of May and ran well when beaten a neck at Perth upped to 3m a month later. Respectable effort when 17L seventh of 20 in a Listed handicap chase over 3m2f here at the start of the month and the drop in trip looks likely to suit.

Form: 66U-127

Gentleman Jon^b,t²⁸

Age: 9| Weight: 10-0| J: H Cobden| T: C L Tizzard| OR: 124| D

3/1

Winner of a Listed handicap chase at Wincanton (good) over 3m1f last November. Few fair efforts of late including when fifth over 3m2f in a Listed handicap here last time out and races from out of the handicap here.

Form: 0PP-345

Forecasts

Braqueur D'Or (11/4), Wadswick Court (3/1), Gentleman Jon (3/1), Degooch (4/1), Aerlite Supreme (9/2), Definite Future (5/1), Henryville (10/1), Mont Royale (10/1)

BRAQUEUR D'OR can complete a hat-trick here having won twice over fences earlier this month. The second of those victories came under a penalty and the six-year-old remains open to improvement having had just three starts over fences. Wadswick Court ran well when finishing runner-up in a valuable contest at Market Rasen last time out and can claim second off his revised mark while Henryville, disappointing in that Market Rasen contest is another to note here.
