Won on chasing debut at Towcester before finishing a remote second to the potentially smart Diakali at Fontwell. Nothing of that calibre in here on handicap debut and a leading contender once again .

Shaped with plenty of promise on his return to action at Ludlow back in May. That should have blown away the cobwebs and this longer trip looks like it may be his preferred trip now. Not discounted in an open race.

11/4
Raised 3lbs for winning a two-runner handicap on chasing debut before disappointing back over hurdles last time. This is much tougher and needs to bounce right back to be involved.

3/1
11-time winner over fences and has been a great servant. been plying his trade in hunter chases of late and whilst this is much more competitive, he has the form to run well.

7/1
Can be a very hit and miss character that seems to benefit from breaks. Has had a wind operation since being pulled up at Market Rasen last time. More than capable off this sort of mark but really needs to bounce back.

7/1
Won off a 3lb lower mark back in December but has not really been firing on all cylinders since. Tongue-tie/hood combination persevered with here and needs to do plenty more to be considered.

Forecasts

Sword Of Fate (11/4), Forever My Friend (3/1), Master Burbidge (4/1), Our Three Sons (11/2), Altiepix (11/2), No Ceiling (7/1), Compadre (7/1), Exitas (8/1)

Verdict

Altiepix shaped with encouragement on his return to action and can make some improvement going back up in trip. Compadre is not one to rely on totally but he would certainly be of interest should there be strong market support. The selection is OUR THREE SONS who has shaped with lots of promise on his two starts over fences so far and can make a winning handicap debut.
  1. Our Three Sons
  2. Altiepix
  3. Compadre
