Cracker Factory⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 11-6| J: D A Jacob| T: A King| OR: 138| D

10/11

Unbeaten in three starts over timber so far, doing things very easily at Newton Abbot latest over 2m1f (good). Up in class, but very much the one to beat again.

Form: 111

Breakfast⁵⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 11-3| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| CD

7/2

Easy winner over C&D on jumping bow last month and sure to go well again back here, albeit this is a tougher contest on paper.

Form: 1

Bodes Well²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: R Johnson| T: W Greatrex| OR: 105

14/1

Not a bad sort at around 1m on the Flat, although he didn't seem to stay further on handicap bow. Some promise when fourth over C&D on hurdling debut, similar form since at Fontwell.

Form: 44

Jack Regan¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: T J O'Brien| T: Ian Williams

2/1

Three-time Flat winner at up to 1m2f, including this month at Doncaster. Goes jumping for the first time here and should have a future in this sphere.

Form:

Mercer's Troop²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Bridget Andrews| T: D Skelton

50/1

Half-brother to a fairly useful hurdler, and capable of similar form himself on AW for Archie Watson. Turf efforts not so good, though, and swept aside on jumps bow at Fontwell this month.

Form: 0

Surrender³³

Age: 3| Weight: 10-12| J: Jamie Hamilton| T: T D Easterby

80/1

Modest maiden on the Flat (0-10) who stays well but was only rated 47 and looks vulnerable having finished last of four on hurdles bow at Cartmel in July (2m1f, soft).

Form: 4

Angel Of The North²⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton

20/1

Did win on the Flat, but that came when visored in an AW handicap off a plater's mark, and not an obvious type for the winter game, duly beaten 20L on first start for Dan Skelton at Fontwell (2m1½f, good) this month.

Form: 6

Barbara Villiers⁴⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams

50/1

Modest maiden on the Flat, couple of wide margin Newton Abbot defeats on record so far over timber and has much improvement to find now.

Form: 33

Blue Havana²²

Age: 3| Weight: 10-5| J: C R King| T: J & S Quinn

50/1

Havana Gold filly a 14-race maiden on the Flat, unable to justify market support in some low-grade handicaps latterly. Work to be done going jumping for the first time.

Form:

Non-Runners

Forecasts

Cracker Factory (10/11), Jack Regan (2/1), Breakfast (7/2), Bodes Well (14/1), Angel Of The North (20/1), Thunderhooves (33/1), Barbara Villiers (50/1), Mercer's Troop (50/1), Blue Havana (50/1), Surrender (80/1)

CRACKER FACTORY has quickly recorded a hat-trick over timber at Aintree and Newton Abbot and looks a juvenile of note for owners Simon Munir and Isaac Suede. Daryl Jacob's mount concedes weight all round but has the scope to defy it and maintain his winning ways. C&D winner Breakfast can give him some food for thought while Jack Regan is an interesting recruit to this sphere having displayed talent on the level.
