River Icon²³

Age: 6| Weight: 11-10| J: C O'Farrell| T: I Jardine| OR: 122

11/2

Has won on the Flat and over hurdles (2m6f), but this will be her first experience of racing over fences; solid third at Cartmel last month (2m6f handicap hurdle); evidently fit and well, but most effective with some cut in the ground.

Form: 2216-43

Rebel Yeats²⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 11-8| J: T J O'Brien| T: Ian Williams| OR: 120

5/4

122-rated hurdler (three wins between 2m-2m3f); has limited experience of racing over fences following placed efforts at Newton Abbot and Worcester; today's longer trip is likely to prove in her favour; every chance.

Form: 50-5123

Its Pandorama^b⁸⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-5| J: Henry Brooke| T: B Ellison| OR: 117

3/1

Gave it a good go from the front on his rules chasing debut at Cartmel (2m5f) in June, when ultimately not quite strong enough for Souriyan (beaten 9L); similar tactics likely today at a track where he's finished runner-up at over hurdles.

Form: 529-262

King Muro^h¹⁵

Age: 8| Weight: 10-11| J: P J Brennan| T: F O'Brien| OR: 109

10/3

Took advantage of a falling mark (with the hood applied) to spring a surprise at Bangor (2m1f+) in August; since produced a similar effort off 6lb higher at Worcester (third); stamina reserves unproven but respected nevertheless.

Form: 3-84613

King Golan^b,t¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: Aaron Anderson⁽⁷⁾| T: Kenny Johnson| OR: 70

80/1

18-race maiden under rules (0-12 over fences), tailed-off at odds of 250/1 in a 3m Southwell novices chase latest, and a similar scenario looks likely today on these disadvantageous terms; no chance barring accidents.

Form: 457354

Forecasts

Rebel Yeats (5/4), Its Pandorama (3/1), King Muro (10/3), River Icon (11/2), King Golan (80/1)

With the exception of King Golan, there's not masses to split the remainder, although the chasing newcomer River Icon could prove vulnerable on quick ground. It's Pandorama is the obvious pace angle, and with King Muro unproven in terms of stamina, the safest play is the Ian Williams-trained REBEL YEATS. She has made the frame on both chasing starts down south, and today's extra yardage is fully expected to suit.
