15/8
Useful hurdler and completed a treble in novice chases when winning over 2m4f at Uttoxeter (soft) in July. Unseated the last twice including at the first back in novice company last time out. One to note in this contest.

1/2
Graded-placed as a hurdler and made a winning chase debut over 2m at Warwick (good-to-soft) last month. Good effort despite finishing last of three at Cheltenham subsequently and a leading contender today.

20/1
Winner off a mark of 86 in a novices handicap chase at Bangor (good) in August. Placed off a 3lb higher mark since but plenty to find with his rivals today.

Forecasts

Ozzie The Oscar (1/2), Work In Progress (15/8), Sage Monkey (20/1)

Verdict

OZZIE THE OSCAR was a useful performer over hurdles and he can record a second victory in three starts over fences in this three runner novice chase. The selection looks a more reliable individual than chief rival Work In Progress who has to put a couple of non-completions behind him today while Sage Monkey looks outclassed in this company.
  1. Ozzie The Oscar
  2. Work In Progress
  3. Sage Monkey
