Nayati¹⁹

Age: 5| Weight: 11-12| J: B S Hughes| T: D McCain Jnr| OR: 130| D

9/4

Stayed on well to score on heavy at Perth last month. Acts on any conditions. 2lb rise looks reasonable, and he should have a big say.

Form: 131371

Ingleby Hollow^t¹²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-11| J: R Johnson| T: D O'Meara| OR: 129| CD

6/4

Won twice over C&D in non-handicaps earlier in the year, and was placed in Listed company since then. Might now be exposed, but clearly handles these undulations well, and can't be ruled out.

Form: 3118-33

Chieftain's Choice^b⁵³

Age: 10| Weight: 11-3| J: Sam Coltherd⁽³⁾| T: K Frost| OR: 121| D

7/1

Goes on any ground and despite his advancing years, his latest win suggested that there may be a little more to come, even from this 4lb higher mark. Interesting.

Form: 4089-31

Snookered^p¹⁷

Age: 5| Weight: 10-5| J: Henry Brooke| T: B Ellison| OR: 109

3/1

Has won three times on the Flat, but not yet over hurdles. Has some respectable form in this discipline, but does need to find more in this field.

Forecasts

Ingleby Hollow (6/4), Nayati (9/4), Snookered (3/1), Chieftain's Choice (7/1)

The likeable veteran CHIEFTAIN'S CHOICE was back in the winners' enclosure last time, and he could repeat the does from 4lb higher, given how he won that day. Nayati could prove to be his biggest danger, ahead of Ingleby Hollow.
