Kap Jazz¹⁴

Age: 7| Weight: 12-1| J: Charlie Deutsch⁽³⁾| T: Miss V Williams| OR: 122

5/2

Won back-to-back races earlier in the campaign but very disappointing effort on comeback run and this trip may prove too much of a test of stamina. Given some leniency from the handicapper so can't be ruled out if bouncing back.

Form: P/F113-0

Ultimatum Du Roy^t¹⁷²

Age: 9| Weight: 12-0| J: Harry Bannister| T: A M Hales| OR: 121| CD

10/3

Winner of three races last term including a C&D success in April. Has needed his comeback run in previous years though and yard form is a concern. Perhaps best watched this time.

Form: 2P131-3

Themanfrom Minella^p,t¹⁸⁴

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Max Kendrick⁽⁷⁾| T: B I Case| OR: 119| D

7/1

Has just won once over fences, a win over this trip at Exeter in March 2016. Very disappointing when last seen and has an absence to overcome. Not ruled out on best form but not the most consistent sort.

Form: 7/2PU2-P

Shady Glen^b,t¹⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-8| J: Kielan Woods| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 115| C| D

4/1

Course winner here in July and has been running to a consistent level since without getting his head in front. Sees out this trip well, as seen over C&D last month and more likely than many to give his running. Solid place claims.

Form: 122443

Clubs Are Trumps^p³⁷

Age: 8| Weight: 11-7| J: Aidan Coleman| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 114| D

7/2

Rattled off a hat-trick in 2015 and has won twice this year having drawn a blank in 2016. Stayed on gamely to win at Southwell over this trip last time and ought to be thereabouts again provided he's in the same form but that's no given.

Form: P26631

Feast Of Fire^p⁵³⁰

Age: 10| Weight: 10-3| J: Sean Quinlan| T: Miss J E Foster| OR: 96| D

40/1

Stays further than this but won well over this trip at Cartmel last time out. Every chance he will come on for this run returning from a lengthy absence though.

Form: P262/41-

Forecasts

Kap Jazz (5/2), Ultimatum Du Roy (10/3), Clubs Are Trumps (7/2), Shady Glen (4/1), Themanfrom Minella (7/1), Feast Of Fire (40/1)

Clubs Are Trumps was impressive when winning last time and he ought to go close if in the same form but he hasn't always been the most straightforward type. With that in mind, SHADY GLEN looks like the solid option and has good course form. A return to form for Themanfrom Minella would see him in with a shout but he's not the most consistent sort.
