Voix D'Eau^p,t¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 11-12| J: Miss A B O'Connor⁽⁷⁾| T: H Fry| OR: 135

4/1

Fair runs in similar handicap chases at Stratford and Southwell the last twice, and not disgraced in better events during the jumps season proper, but still needs to find a little more here.

Form: 3650-23

Curious Carlos²¹

Age: 9| Weight: 11-9| J: James Bowen| T: P & M Bowen| OR: 132| D

4/1

Hat-trick seeker who has won summer chases at Sedgefield and Perth the last twice but remains on the same mark here, so of obvious interest in the hands of a promising young rider.

Form: 2465-11

Newton Geronimo¹⁵

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: N de Boinville| T: B Pauling| OR: 129| CD

5/1

Ran a fine race to be second at Stratford last time out and is just 1lb higher now, but needs to step up his game again to mix it with the best of these.

Form: 13646-2

Ballinure⁴⁹

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: J McGrath| T: N J Henderson| OR: 127| DWS

7/2

A winner over hurdles at Towcester last time out who now reverts to racing over fences. Has also won over the larger obstacles in the past, and every chance he could win again here for his top trainer.

Form: 1P198-1

Action Replay²⁹

Age: 7| Weight: 10-10| J: R Johnson| T: P Hobbs & J White| OR: 119

10/1

Made a satisfactory reappearance at Ffos Las last time out but still has improvement to find in terms of his jumping, though he looks on a good mark.

Form: 642/5U-4

Call To Order^p²³

Age: 8| Weight: 10-8| J: Aidan Coleman| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 117

3/1

Beaten 10L+ on last six starts including both hurdles and chases. Makes little appeal now sent back over the larger obstacles.

Form: 5/282-63

It may have been hurdles that he won over at Towcester last time out, but BALLINURE is also a capable performer over fences and can take this return to chasing in his stride off a 5lb higher mark and win again. He's had wind surgery since we last saw him, and he can see off a field where many have questions to answer. Hat-trick seeker Curious Carlos, and Philip Hobbs' Action Replay could be next best.
