Age: 9|  Weight: 11-12| J: N D Fehily| T: J Farrelly| OR:  120| C
10/1
Twice a winner in 2015 but then endured a long layoff, failed to beat a rival home at Worcester three weeks ago on comeback and can only be watched for now.

Horace Hazel23
Age: 8|  Weight: 11-7| J: Sam Twiston-Davies| T: A J Honeyball| OR:  115| CD
6/1
Fairly consistent performer but doesn't tend to win many (2/17 over timber). Should have the stamina for this searching test.
3
Horse silk
Mont Choisyv29
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-7| J: James Bowen(10)| T: P & M Bowen| OR:  115| BF
3/1
Three times a winner in a 14-race career, has made the frame on both starts since joining this yard and likely to have a say once again.
4
Horse silk
Miss Serioust23
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-4| J: Nick Scholfield| T: J Scott| OR:  112| CD
4/1
Back over hurdles since returning to action last month, has scored three wins in 13 tries over these obstacles but has work to do on both recent runs.
5
Horse silk
Lady Of Longstonep21
Age: 7|  Weight: 11-4| J: Michael Heard(5)| T: D Pipe| OR:  112
25/1
Is not rated 11lb below previous winning mark and could go well off this mark. She's anything but resolute however and hasn't offered a lot in six runs this year.
6
Horse silk
Calin Du Brizaisb30
Age: 6|  Weight: 11-3| J: C Gethings(3)| T: N J Hawke| OR:  111| CD
5/1
Won twice over fences here at the start of the summer but has recently found herself flattening out in that sphere after going up in the ratings. Hurdles mark much more workable.
7
Horse silk
Our Follyt46
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-2| J: T Scudamore| T: W S Kittow| OR:  110| CD
16/1
Won over C&D in June but was pulled up early last month when attempting the follow up. Given a nice break since and should hold fair claims off this rating.
8
Horse silk
Generous Chiefb21
Age: 9|  Weight: 11-0| J: Daniel Hiskett(5)| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR:  108
22/1
Equally adept over hurdles or fences, managed to finish in the first two seven times so far during 2016/17. Not showing best stuff lately, so needs to bounce back.
9
Horse silk
Zephyrp62
Age: 6|  Weight: 10-10| J: Lizzie Kelly(3)| T: Nick Williams| OR:  104
20/1
Former point-to-point winner has struggled for consistency and remains a maiden under rules. Cheekpieces are back on and while not reliable, isn't discounted either.
10
Horse silk
Rainbow Haze78
Age: 11|  Weight: 10-6| J: Jordan Williams(7)| T: P C Dando| OR:  100| C
8/1
Bounced back to form last twice after a couple of disappointing efforts earlier in the year. Solid wins in May and June have seen the gelding raised 10lb for his efforts.
11
Horse silk
It's A Stealp1,t26
Age: 10|  Weight: 10-3| J: Page Fuller(5)| T: Mrs K Stephens| OR:  97
20/1
Won a couple of races over fences in 2014 but he's been out of form in recent times and was well beaten off twice at Worcester last month.

Forecasts

Mont Choisy (3/1), Miss Serious (4/1), Calin Du Brizais (5/1), Horace Hazel (6/1), Rainbow Haze (8/1), Sporting Boy (10/1), Our Folly (16/1), Zephyr (20/1), It's A Steal (20/1), Generous Chief (22/1), Lady Of Longstone (25/1)

Verdict

MONT CHOISY is going the right way again since joining this handler, hitting the frame in both outings. He's still well below his previous winning mark on ratings and could have it in him to land an open-looking finale. Calin Du Brizais, twice a winner over fences here this summer, is respected in the bid to take advantage of a reduced hurdles mark while Our Folly, a winner here in June, might leave her lame attempt at the follow-up behind having been given a short break.
  1. Mont Choisy
  2. Calin Du Brizais
  3. Our Folly
