3/1

Successful by 7L in a 3m handicap chase at Kempton (good) in May but proved a disappointment off this 4lb higher mark when 13L last of four at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) later that month). Worth a check in the market on return from a break.

7/2

Recorded his eighth victory when winning by ½L in a 3m handicap chase at Bangor (good) at the start of August. Interesting to see how he fares following a 2lb rise in the weights.

7/1

Sent off odds-on favourite when finishing 2L third in a six runner 2m7f novice hurdle at Worcester (good) a month ago. Returns to fences off a mark 5lb higher than when finishing runner-up at Cartmel (2m5f, good) in June.

Form: 24-1223

3/1

Beaten favourite when finishing 16L fourth in a 2m7f handicap chase at Worcester (good) at the end of August. Market support would be notable in this contest.

Form: 14-3234

5/2

Twice a winner in 2019 including by 1L in a 3m handicap chase at Bangor (good) in August. Raised 4lb for that victory and is one for the shortlist receiving weight from all of his rivals.

Forecasts

Marble Moon (5/2), Beau Du Brizais (3/1), Wolfcatcher (3/1), Gone Platinum (7/2), Beau Sancy (7/1), Blairs Cove (10/1)

MARBLE MOON is taken to follow up his victory at Bangor in August by taking this small field handicap chase. The selection can get the better of Beau Sancy who should appreciate this return to fences while third place can go to Gone Platinum who is another to have registered a victory on his most recent start.
