Summit Like Herbie²¹¹

Age: 7| Weight: 11-12| J: Jamie Bargary| T: N & W Twiston-Davies| OR: 105

18/1

Good 3L second in a novice hurdle over an extended 2m5f at Wincanton (good) in January. Pulled up at Exeter (2m7f, soft) on handicap debut subsequently however and is worth a check in the market on chase debut following a break.

Form: 56/602P-

Damut I'm Out⁴²

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Alex Edwards⁽⁵⁾| T: A Ralph| OR: 104| D

Alexander The Grey^t¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 11-9| J: Lily Pinchin⁽⁷⁾| T: D Killahena & G McPherson| OR: 102

8/1

Put in a bold show when attempting to make virtually all prior to finishing 10L second in a handicap chase over an extended 3m1f at Plumpton (good-to-firm) last time out. One to note racing off the same mark.

25/1

Returning from a break when finishing a well beaten eighth in a 2m7f handicap hurdle at Worcester (good) in August. Worth a check in the market on debut over fences.

Form: 73/13-48

Phoenix Rock¹⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: Jonjo O'Neill Jr.⁽³⁾| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 98

7/2

Off the mark at the 16th attempt under Rules when winning by 6L in a 2m7f handicap chase at Worcester (good) last time out. One for the shortlist despite a 10lb rise in the weights.

Form: 6-U3221

Schnabel^p,t⁴⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 11-5| J: B S Hughes| T: David Dennis| OR: 98WS

7/1

Decent effort when beaten 13L into fourth in a 3m handicap chase at Market Rasen (good) in August. Had wind surgery since and is interesting with a top jockey booked to ride.

Form: 0P-9554

Invincible Don²⁴

Age: 11| Weight: 11-0| J: R Johnson| T: S Durack| OR: 93

16/1

Made a winning debut for this yard when successful over 2m4f at Worcester (good) a month ago. Good second over an extended 2m5f at Fontwell (good) a week later and is an interesting runner stepping up in distance.

33/1

19 race maiden caught the eye when a staying on 8L third in a 3m2f handicap hurdle at Warwick (good-to-firm) last time out. Market support would be notable on chase debut.

Form: 359963

Brigadier Bob^p¹⁴⁶

Age: 6| Weight: 10-13| J: J E Moore| T: Kerry Lee| OR: 92

9/1

Nine race maiden ran a decent race when 7L second over C&D on good going in May. Interesting to see how he performs on his return from a break.

Form: 276P5-2

Joey Steel³²

Age: 6| Weight: 10-7| J: James Bowen| T: Christian Williams| OR: 86

10/1

Maiden after eight starts and registered a career best effort when third in a handicap hurdle over an extended 2m5f at Newton Abbot (good) just over a month ago. Trip and forecast going both in his favour on chase debut.

Form: 060-543

Summer Getaway^p,t²⁰⁶

Age: 7| Weight: 10-3| J: G Sheehan| T: Katy Price| OR: 82WS

6/1

11 race maiden pulled up in a maiden point-to-point on good-to-soft ground when last in action back in March. Probably best watched on stable debut following wind surgery.

Form: 5/P47UP-

Forecasts

Phoenix Rock (7/2), Damut I'm Out (4/1), Summer Getaway (6/1), Schnabel (7/1), Alexander The Grey (8/1), Brigadier Bob (9/1), Joey Steel (10/1), Invincible Don (16/1), Summit Like Herbie (18/1), Adherence (25/1), Watching Brief (33/1)

WATCHING BRIEF recorded his best effort under Rules so far when placed in a staying hurdle last time out and he can make a winning debut over fences in this competitive looking staying event. Phoenix Rock looks capable of taking second having recorded a first career success on her most recent start while the consistent Alexander The Grey can finish third.
