Winner over 2m4f at Uttoxeter (good) in July and ran well to be fourth at Cartmel subsequently. Pulled up last time out however and needs to return to form in this contest.
Ten race maiden ran well when finishing runner-up over 2m3f at Market Rasen (good) three weeks ago. Returning from a break that day and further improvement likely.
Victorious over 2m5f at Newton Abbot (good) back in May. Decent third over the same C&D on good ground subsequently and interesting despite racing off a mark 6lb higher than for that latest success.
Struggled since winning a match race for a 3m1f novice hurdle at Carlisle (good) in May last year. Handicap mark is falling but others make more appeal on seasonal debut.
Victorious over an extended 2m3f on good ground here at the start of August. Below par twice subsequently and more needed in this contest.
Forecasts
One Forty Seven (10/11), Mont Royale (5/1), Monsieur Arkadin (6/1), Opechee (7/1), Return Flight (9/1), Moorlands Jack (16/1)
ONE FORTY SEVEN looks capable of getting off the mark in this small field handicap chase. The selection represents a stable with a 30% strike-rate (8/27) in recent weeks and he can get the better of top weight Mont Royale who can put a disappointing latest effort behind him. Third place can go the way of the veteran Moorlands Jack.
