Dual handicap hurdle winner who showed improved form in first-time blinkers when winning at Uttoxeter in July (raised 6lb for that win). Suited by the test of speed even at 2m7f; has to give away 12lb to both rivals; ought to be up to the task.
Winning Irish chaser who caught the eye on his GB/stable debut at Market Rasen (shaped much better than the bare result). Failed to build on that performance last time at Stratford (made mistakes); now back over hurdles, best watched for now.
Worcester bumper winner for his former yard (Paul George); left his initial hurdles run way behind on his stable debut returned to Worcester. Nearly prevailed under an enterprising ride in a race with little depth; interesting getting weight.
Forecasts
Victarion (30/100), Simon The Great (7/2), Fr Humphrey (16/1)
It will be interesting to see if enterprising tactics are once again used on Simon The Great as he nearly stole a race in that fashion last time at Worcester although the winner was doing his best to throw the race away. He gets 12lb from VICTARION here who looks to have been found a good opportunity to follow up his Uttoxeter handicap win back in novice company. Fr Humphrey looks to here with a confidence booster in mind having failed to convince over fences last time having promised more on his GB/stable debut.
