Completed a hat-trick when winning over C&D on his penultimate outing but proved a disappointment over an extended 1m2f a week later. One to note despite that latest effort.

Victorious three times including over this trip at Wolverhampton in March 2015. Out of form over much shorter distances of late and he is likely to fare better back up in trip.

Well beaten in three hurdles outings since finishing a good fourth over C&D in July. Races off a 3lb lower mark today and is an interesting runner today.

Disappointing since finishing fourth over 1m2f at Roscommon (heavy) in August. Needs to return to form if she's to figure on debut for this yard.

Career best effort when finishing fourth over C&D a month ago. Races off a 5lb lower mark today and may surprise a few better fancied rivals in this contest.

Forecasts

Sbraase (11/4), Ben Rumson (3/1), Repare Mon (13/2), Lamh Ar Lamh (13/2), Empresario (10/1), Dara Tango (10/1), Frozen Moon (12/1), Easy Boy (12/1), Rock On Dandy (14/1), Freedom Chimes (14/1), King Jeremy (16/1), Bog War (16/1), Rive Normande (20/1), Lambikin (25/1), Sheldon Cooper (25/1), Starlite Sienna (28/1), Set To Fire (33/1)

Verdict

SBRAASE has dropped significantly in the weights following a number of disappointing efforts over much shorter distances than today's 1m4f trip. The selection races off a mark 20lb lower than for his most recent victory and with his best form coming over today's distance he can take this with Ben Rumson, a disappointment when bidding to complete a four-timer last time taken to chase him home. Frozen Moon can claim third on his first attempt at this distance.
