Point-to-point winner in March and ran well when runner-up in a four runner contest on his rules return and his chasing debut over 3m at Southwell (good) in June. Races off the same mark here and likely to run well once more.
Sedgefield winner off a 4lb higher mark last August. Generally disappointing since joining this stable later that year but yard have a 27% strike-rate (3/11) of late and he is worth a check in the market today.
Had just five starts since winning over 2m4f at Punchestown (good) in October 2014. Well beaten on first start for nearly two years at Wexford (good) a month ago and others make more appeal here.
Made a winning debut for this stable when successful over an extended 2m at Worcester (good) two months ago. Has been raised 3lb for that effort and won over this distance over hurdles last September.
Ran well when 12L third of eight over an extended 2m5f at Ayr (good) last October. Making his seasonal debut when 31L ninth over C&D last time out and likely to strip fitter for that return.
Finished runner-up at Sedgefield (good) in May but well beaten over an extended 2m4f at Southwell (good) subsequently and races off a mark 5lb higher than for his latest victory today.
Winner twice over hurdles in summer 2015 but well held on sole start for previous yard and pulled up on first run in nearly a year when debuting for current stable at Cartmel (good-to-soft) last month.
Winning for the first time over fences when successful over an extended 1m7f at Southwell (good) last month. Races off a 5lb higher mark here and has won off higher marks over hurdles.
Finished runner-up over an extended 2m at Newcastle (good) in April. Well beaten on his two most recent starts and others make more appeal in this contest.
Forecasts
Cuirassier Dempire (9/4), David John (3/1), Roman Numeral (6/1), My Idea (17/2), Cooper's Friend (10/1), Gleann Na Ndochais (11/1), Quick Brew (16/1), Jack The Hat (18/1), Classic Palace (33/1)
CUIRASSIER DEMPIRE ran well on his debut over fences last time out and can go one better under top weight here. The selection had to give best to a previous winner on that occasion and can see off David John who was hampered prior to winning off a 4lb lower mark at Worcester last time out. Of the remainder Roman Numeral has had just the five starts over fences and recorded his first success over the larger obstacles last time out and he can claim third.
- Cuirassier Dempire
- David John
