Kupatana^h¹⁷⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: J McGrath| T: N J Henderson| OR: 122

7/4

Made a winning handicap debut when taking a 2m4f contest at Aintree (good) in May. Raised 5lb for that victory and is an interesting runner on chase debut.

Form: 1/412-1

Ruby Yeats²¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-8| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 118

33/1

Placed over fences at Taunton (2m2f, soft) in February. Pulled up on two of her three subsequent starts and is making her debut for a new yard.

Form: 0/92PP9-

Star Foot^t⁵⁰

Age: 7| Weight: 11-7| J: Jack Sherwood⁽³⁾| T: Miss J S Davis| OR: 117

50/1

Four time hurdles winner but disappointing in recent starts and wind surgery appeared to make no difference when finishing well beaten at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in September. Making his debut over fences.

Form: 953-P48

Heart Of Kernow³⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: C Gethings| T: N J Hawke| OR: 115

12/1

Dual novice hurdle winner on soft and heavy ground at Hexham last autumn. Still held chances when falling three out on chase debut at that venue last month and remains of interest.

Form: 7/11-F

Minella For Me^t¹⁸³

Age: 8| Weight: 11-4| J: J J Burke| T: T R George| OR: 114

7/2

Made a winning chase debut when taking a Southwell contest over an extended 2m4f by 6L in May. Had wind surgery prior to that and is one to note on his return from a break.

Form: 442F6-1

Railroad Junkie^t⁴⁸

Age: 5| Weight: 11-2| J: Adam Wedge| T: Evan Williams| OR: 112

10/1

Put a disappointing hurdles effort behind him when winning by 6L at Warwick (2m, good) on chase debut last time out. Has to defy an 8lb rise in the weights if he's to follow up.

Form: 732461

Hint Of Grey⁵⁵

Age: 5| Weight: 11-0| J: Joshua Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 110

40/1

Good third on the Flat at Kempton (1m4f) in August. Well beaten upped to 2m at Lingfield subsequently and probably best watched on chase debut.

Form: 2/12445-

King Vince^t¹⁴³

Age: 5| Weight: 10-12| J: G Sheehan| T: Jamie Snowden| OR: 108| D

14/1

Placed over hurdles the last twice including in a 2m7f maiden event at Market Rasen (good) in June. Yard in good form of late (3/11) and market support would be notable on chase and handicap debut.

Form: 137-823

Cap Du Nord²²

Age: 5| Weight: 10-10| J: T J O'Brien| T: Christian Williams| OR: 106

10/3

Improved form when finishing a good second on good going here last time out. Raised 4lb for that effort and capable of running well once more.

Form: 3P4-452

Windspiel^t¹⁶⁴

Age: 5| Weight: 10-7| J: Harry Bannister| T: D W P Arbuthnot| OR: 103

16/1

Impressive 12L winner of a handicap chase at Towcester (2m, good-to-firm) in May. Well beaten at Market Rasen a fortnight later however. More needed in this contest.

Form: S79-317

Non-Runners

Broken Quest²¹⁷

Weight: 11-12| Age: 6

Forecasts

Kupatana (7/4), Cap Du Nord (10/3), Minella For Me (7/2), Railroad Junkie (10/1), Heart Of Kernow (12/1), Broken Quest (12/1), King Vince (14/1), Windspiel (16/1), Ruby Yeats (33/1), Hint Of Grey (40/1), Star Foot (50/1)

HEART OF KERNOW was running well prior to coming down on debut and he is taken to get off the mark at the second attempt in this competitive contest. Minella For Me who was a winner last time out can chase the selection home ahead of top weight Kupatana who hasn't always looked the most straightforward individual.
