Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: N D Fehily| T: F O'Brien| OR: 133

9/4

No match for Vintage Clouds last time but had beaten a subsequent winner on his penultimate start. Suited to this trip on a fast surface and a sound jumper. Stable 5-21 in last fortnight.

Form: 2F/1212

Joe Farrell¹⁸

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: S Bowen| T: Miss R Curtis| OR: 129

15/8

Held in high regard as a novice hurdler but has only revealed that potential sporadically since. Needs 3m and a sound surface and gets those conditions for the first time since going chasing. On a good mark and represents last year's winning yard.

Form: 7620-42

Captain Buck's^t²¹

Age: 5| Weight: 10-13| J: H Cobden| T: P F Nicholls| OR: 124| C| D

9/2

Looks a chasing type who needs this combination of trip and going. Ran as though in need of the run on return, but this mark demands improvement for the change of discipline. Yard took this in 2015.

Form: 2141-20

Beau Du Brizais²⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 10-11| J: M G Nolan| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 122| C

5/1

Looked the type to improve for this trip when chasing home a subsequent winner last time. Young enough to offer a lot more, but up in class and this looks a hot contest.

Form: F742F2

Cleni Wells^h¹⁵

Age: 6| Weight: 10-8| J: Charlie Deutsch⁽³⁾| T: M Hill| OR: 119

10/1

The ground probably turned against him last time when tailed off but he had enjoyed a good summer and autumn up to that point. Makes his chasing debut against more experienced rivals and for that reason he is passed over.

Forecasts

Joe Farrell (15/8), Lovely Job (9/4), Captain Buck's (9/2), Beau Du Brizais (5/1), Cleni Wells (10/1)

Lovely Job will appreciate the conditions and his jumping ability will expose any deficiencies in his less experienced rivals. However, the concession of 4lb to JOE FARRELL may prove difficult. Rebecca Curtis' runner has dropped 4lb in the weights following two runs on ground softer than ideal. He has some smart form over hurdles and has long looked the type to make the grade over fences. Beau Brizais chased home an improving sort last time and Captain Bucks is expected to do well at this game, but finds himself highly tried on his chasing debut.
